Solaris 10 / SUN SamFS 4.6 – Working with SamFS / Adding Devices to a Storage Pool

Donnerstag, Januar 1st, 2009

dynamically add space to a pool by adding a new top-level virtual device. This space is immediately available to all datasets within the pool. To add a new virtual device to a pool, use the „zpool add“ command

# zpool add samfs2_pool_1 c2t3d0
# zpool add samfs2_pool_2 c2t4d0

# zpool status samfs2_pool_1
pool: samfs2_pool_1
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
samfs2_pool_1 ONLINE 0 0 0
c2t1d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
c2t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0
errors: No known data errors

# zpool status samfs2_pool_2
pool: samfs2_pool_2

samfs2_pool_2 ONLINE 0 0 0

Solaris 10 / SUN SamFS 4.6 – Working with SamFS / Planning Issues for the Recycling Process

Donnerstag, Januar 1st, 2009

Recycling is the process of reclaiming space on archive volumes. The recycler works with the archiver to reclaim the space occupied by unused archive copies. As users modify files, the archive copies associated with the old versions can be purged from the system

# cat /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/archiver.cmd
interval=2m
fs = samfs1
logfile=/var/opt/SUNWsamfs/archiver/samfs1.log
arset1_dir01 dir01
1 30s
2 120s

arset1 .
1 30s
2 1200s

params
allsets -recycle_hwm 50 -recycle_mingain 50 -recycle_vsncount 1
endparams

vsns
arset1.1 dk disk11
arset1.2 dk disk21
arset1_dir01.1 dk disk12
arset1_dir01.2 dk disk22
samfs1.1 dk disk10
endvsns

-recycle_hwm 50 „high water mark “ – Percentage of the total storage space in the library that must be utilized before recycling will occur

-recycle_mingain 50 „minimum gain“ – Percentage of the VSN that must be expired archives before it can be recycled

-recycle_vsncount 1 – „VSN count“ – Maximum number of VSNs recycled in one recycler run

Creating a crontab File for the Recycler If the system is performing as expected, you are ready to make a crontab entry for the superuser to run the recycler periodically, every two hours or more, depending on your site’s conditions

# EDITOR=vi
# export EDITOR
# crontab -e
