A couple of questions
are you going to use ZFS for the database it self or just the software.
Solaris 11 has been out for a while and is a supported platform (obviously) for
the database.
ZFS if tuned right is a good database filesystem but why not ASM for database .

Subject: new database server build - sanity check
Hi all
Your opinions please!
We are embarking on a new database server build - the sysadmin is keen on
Solaris 11.1 and ZFS on the T4-1 server. We will use zones for environment
segregation and license mitigation.
While I've used sol9 and 10 without absolutely no issues before, using such
a new OS version with a relatively non-mainstream filesystem seems ...
adventurous.
Am I being too apprehensive, or is this a reasonable concern ? I'm
interested in any real-life experience, rather than the marketing bullet
points. Discuss. :)
thanks in advance -
Jeff
