By top.level

Hi All,

I have server : Sun-Fire-V490 configured with Solaris 10 zfs
..

and I have configured three mirror the third one from EMC
storage.

PHP Code:


root@server # zpool status -v
pool: rpool
state
: ONLINE
status
: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can
still be used
, but some features are unavailable.
action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the
pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions
.
scan: resilvered 5.51M in 0h0m with 0 errors on Sun Jan 13 16:15:28 2013
config
:

NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror
-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c3t0d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c3t1d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0
emcpower9a ONLINE 0 0 0




I’m excuting this command

PHP Code:


luxadm set_boot_dev /dev/dsk/emcpower9a
Do you want to change boot-device to the new setting? (y/n)

Lenovo and EMC partner on storage for SMBs

You’re probably familiar with Lenovo and EMC, both more or less household names in the tech industry. Well, now the two have joined forces to form a joint venture, LenovoEMC.

Lenovo makes
servers, desktops, and laptops.

LenovoEMC was originally announced last August as a part of a larger strategic partnership between the two companies. It will make use of business-class products from EMC’s Iomega line to provide co-branded network storage products for small and medium businesses, remote branches, and distributed enterprise scenarios.

The Iomega network storage portfolio includes desktop, tower, and rack mount products ranging from diskless up to 48TB of storage. The Iomega (now LenovoEMC) product line includes home office devices like the StorCenter ix2-dl, as well as much more advanced offerings like the StorCenter px12-450r (LenovoEMC might want to consider some simpler, catchier naming).

EMC is an industry leader for
data storage solutions.

LenovoEMC’s NAS (network attached storage) solutions include the EMC LifeLine operating system, meant to provide SMBs with tools and features for managing storage without a full-time IT staff to administer it. LenovoEMC will pitch its line of storage options as a perfect match, of course, for Lenovo ThinkServer servers and ThinkStation workstations.
