Yes, we've been doing this for about a year now. Our server is a Sun T2000 with two ethernet connections to the Iscsi SAN. It's using the native Solaris load balancing and failover. It mounts two LUNs exported from our Netapp file server. These are concatenated into a single ZFS pool. So far, we are only using about 600 gigs of the 1 TB of storage. We will be adding two more LUNs when we need more space. We use ZFS snapshots for most mailbox restores, but we also do full backups to tape. $ zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT space 1016G 645G 371G 63% ONLINE - The server is lightly loaded. We do have about 35,000 users, but only about 2000 simultaneous users at peaks. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking- ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
