Keeping both Balls in the Air: More Juggling than Blending
Now that Oracle Solaris and Linux co-exist under a single umbrella at Oracle, one has to wonder how much the two teams talk to one another. Sean Kerner learned in a recent interview with Wim Coekaerts, Senior Vice President of Linux and Virtualization Engineering at Oracle, that " ... for the most part the two efforts remain two separate endeavors." Still, according to Coekaerts, syncretism is at work. "Now when we're building out new infrastructure we look at which of the two operating systems and two architectures fits the best for a deployment," Coekaerts said.

How to Add Storage Capacity to Your Oracle Linux Environment [25263]
Integrating iSCSI LUNs and Making Them Available to the Oracle Linux Server
The procedure for using Sun ZFS Storage Appliance iSCSI LUNs in an Oracle Linux environment to augment storage capacity is the subject of an oracle.com post by Andrew Ness. Ness discusses how to install the Oracle Linux iSCSI initiator on an Oracle Linux server and how to configure an iSCSI LUN on the Sun ZFS Storage Appliance so the LUN can be accessed by an Oracle Linux server using iSCSI protocol. Ness provides procedures for configuring the LUN and then describes how to prepare the LUN for use by the Oracle Linux server.

Oracle Solaris 11 ZFS File System on Oracle Solaris 11 [24971]
Three-part Hands-on Lab
In the sun.com post "Oracle Solaris 11 ZFS File System on Oracle Solaris 11" readers will find a multi-part hands-on tutorial on the basics of Oracle Solaris ZFS that describes how devices are used in storage pools and considers performance and availability. It also looks at the various types of Oracle Solaris ZFS datasets that can be created and when to use each type. Participants will learn about file system snapshots, cloning data, allocation limits and recovering from common errors. The exercises take participants through creating some zpools and exploring different types of virtual devices (vdevs).

Calculating Usable Space on a ZFSSA [24753]
A How-to Guide to Using Ryan Mathew's Size Calculator
The proper use of Ryan Mathew's Size Calculator in determining storage pool allocation is the subject of a blog by Steve Tunstall, who writes that the calculator will provide details on such questions as which type of pool to make; will more than one pool at a time work on a system; and how much usable space will you be left with when the pool(s) are installed. According to Tunstall, one need only enter the number of available disk trays and their size, the number of pools desired, and the calculator delivers both the figures and a graphical layout of the tray.
