installing Solaris 10 with RAID + ZFS ?

807557Jul 25 2008 — edited Aug 8 2008
Hi, i've recently built a home-made server for racking with a local co-location provider, I've currently got Fedora 9 on it, but would really wish to have Solaris 10 to get ZFS support.

Got a couple of questions before i wreck my fedora 9 install, if anyone would be so kind,

I've dowloaded the Solaris 10 5/08 iso and burned that to dvd ready for install. Now when I do install Solaris will it reformat the drives as default with ZFS support or is this something that has to be done afterwards, also with the x86 install will it be able to boot from ZFS?

Idealy I've got two identical drives on there for RAID 1 so for the entire machine to be using ZFS would be the ideal setup, running in headless with just SSH to connect.

Any thoughts?

Actually that was my mistake....
I specified the wrong clause.

oracle@NOBASE-oracle:~> imp system/manager@ora01 file=/home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/imp_pipe log=/home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136.log FROMUSER=NOBASE,GBADM00301,NOBASEXML,DUMMYCONNECT,SPOTLIGHT2,SPOTLIGHT,SPOT1,TIMEREG,TDCH,ERWIN,IX,MTSSYS TOUSER=NOBASE,GBADM00301,NOBASEXML,DUMMYCONNECT,SPOTLIGHT2,SPOTLIGHT,SPOT1,TIMEREG,TDCH,ERWIN,IX,MTSSYS

My /home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136.dmp.gz file is of 17G
Why is it so?

Please help

HI..

The file to be imported i suppose is FILE=/home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136.dmp.gz and when it will be unzipped the file name will be */home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136.dmp* until unless not altered.

SO,where does file=/home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/imp_pipe comes from. Which file is imp_pipe.I think your imp command must be

oracle@globase-oracle:~> imp system/manager@ora01 file=/home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136.dmp log=/home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136_imp.log FROMUSER=GLOBASE,GBADM00301,GLOBASEXML,DUMMYCONNECT,SPOTLIGHT2,SPOTLIGHT,SPOT1,TIMEREG,TDCH,ERWIN,IX,MTSSYS TOUSER=GLOBASE,GBADM00301,GLOBASEXML,DUMMYCONNECT,SPOTLIGHT2,SPOTLIGHT,SPOT1,TIMEREG,TDCH,ERWIN feedback=100000 buffer=30000000 ignore=y

I used below script on new terminal and it works :)

mknod /home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/imp_pipe p
gunzip < /home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136.dmp.gz > /home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/imp_pipe &
imp system/manager@ora01 file=/home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/imp_pipe log=/home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136.log FROMUSER=NOBASE,GBADM00301,NOBASEXML,DUMMYCONNECT,SPOTLIGHT2,SPOTLIGHT,SPOT1,TIMEREG,TDCH,ERWIN,IX,MTSSYS TOUSER=NOBASE,GBADM00301,NOBASEXML,DUMMYCONNECT,SPOTLIGHT2,SPOTLIGHT,SPOT1,TIMEREG,TDCH,ERWIN,IX,MTSSYS

This is compression on the fly in unix, You have to create a pipe and it will be redirected to write in a compressed format .Z or GZ where by the resultant dump will be in the compressed format at the end of export.

Similialy you have import using the same
Maran Viswarayar
Metalink 274109.1 has something for you

try deleting and recreate the pipe

Hey Maran,

Thanks a lot for the info... :) I haven't worked much on unix platform.But it was nice to know this.Just wanted to clarify that is it redirected automatically to write in a compressed format.

Thanks

mknod /home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/imp_pipe p
This creates the pipe
gunzip < /home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/FullDbexp_20090302_0136.dmp.gz > /home/oracle/FULL_EXP_BACKUP/imp_pipe &
This (>) redirects the output to FullDbexp_20090302_0136.dmp.gz file with gunzip

Best Regards
Maran
