Hardware recommendation for Solaris 10 + ZFS data warehouse server.
- by Justin
The server would run a 2 drive (mirrored root pool for OS and master database segment). And would run individual zpools for each remaining drive (loss of data is acceptable).
Initial requirements would be:
2x 7540 xeons (6 core)
32gig memory.
12 drives.
A 4U/2U server (6/8 core and 2/4 sockets cpu support) with internal disks / or external JBOD.
Capacity to house a disk per CPU core is important.
