Re: [Xen-users] Operational System for Storage (DomUs)

[Freddie Cash <fjwcash@xxxxxxxxx>]

If this box is going to be just an iSCSI target server, then look into FreeBSD + ZFS (using istgt and ZVols). Or even any of the OpenSolaris forks + ZFS (using the new COMSTAR integrated iSCSI support in ZFS). Or, if you want a support contract, Solaris 11 with ZFS and COMSTOR.

Just because the Xen host boxes run Linux, doesn't mean you have to limit yourself to Linux on the storage boxes.

Cheers,

Hi guys,

ÂÂÂ i have a SuperMicro server with an LSI SATA Controler with 16 hdd attached in RAID50.
ÂÂÂ I would like to know wich operational system should i work with in this server? I will have 4 Xen host servers bringing up the DomUs in iSCSI with a dedicated gigabit network.
ÂÂÂ I already had experience with the CenOS 5.5, running the TGTD daemon, e not pleasure one, cause the system keep staying with WAIT (I/O) reaching 100%, causing the DomUs to hang/freeze and remount the partitions in RO.
ÂÂÂ I'm thinking about Ubuntu Server. Does anyone have sugestions and some experience to share about this?

Thanks alot.
Tony M.
