[OpenIndiana-discuss] 200TB managed by OpenIndiana + ZFS

[Fabio Martinelli]

Hi Roy

thanks a lot, please may you report the model and version of the 
controller you're using ? are you using 2 controllers active/active or 
just 1 controller ?

are you using the controller cache ? according to the Supermicro 
salesman I don't have to use it in a active/active setup.

which Supermicro motherboard are you using ?

on which network technology are you offering the storage to the clients 
? 1Gbit/s | 10 Gbit/s | Infiniband ? please provide details about the 
network device and its driver.

thanks again!
cheers
Fabio
