How to use a 100 GB eMLC SSD in a Solaris x86 Server

Andrew WatkinsMar 4 2013 — edited Mar 7 2013

I thought I would try this list. It may be I should post this in the Solaris 11 list, but I thought I would try here first.

I am going to purchase a new Solaris x86 with 128GB ram, 2 CPUs and 6x300GB disks.

Now I am wondering if I should add one 100 GB 2.5-inch eMLC SSD into the system, but searching the web I am unsure how best to use and SSD device. There is plenty discussions about ZFS and SSD but they all talk about small sizes (few GB) and I would only be able to buy the one SSD card.

The machine is going to a general Solaris 11 system running many zones e.g. Databases, web servers, smtp, compute server. Has any one used this Oracle SSD card and what for or should I forget it for such a system.

Cheers,

Andrew
