I have set up two interfaces as bonding slaves (eth0 and eth1 bonded as bond0). How are people monitoring the status of the slaves?
How are you notified if the link fails on one interface? Do you poll something in /sys/class/net/bond0 or /proc/net/bonding/bond0 ? Is there a daemon I can configure to get notifications?
Some context: I'm running SUSE 11 server SP1 and I'm not interested in any graphical tool as this server is not running X11.
Is there still a case against using ZFS in production?
I run Solaris servers and I am planning an upgrade to Solaris 10 10/09 from an earlier release.
Currently we use SVM for local disks and our vendor's technology for SAN volume management.
We are considering migrating most (if not all) of our storage to ZFS.
We want to be able to use LiveUpgrade on snapshots, easy storage management (especially growing a LUN), fast resilvering etc.
Are there any "gotchas" that we should watch out for? We have a lot of Oracle databases. Is that an issue? Has any of you had negative experiences doing what we are thinking of?
