Don't upgrade to Sun Storage 7000 Series 2009.04.10.2.1!

The latest release of AmberRoad firmware (Sun Storage 7000 Series 2009.04.10.2.1) leads to a performance regression. It's recommended not update at this time. See the Fishworks Documentation for more information: http://wikis.sun.com/display/FishWorks/Sun+Storage+7000+Series+Software+Updates

The last two releases (2009.Q2.2.1 and 2009.Q2.2.0) of the AR firmware show poor iSCSI performance.
I therefor recommend to use release 2009.Q2.1.1.

  • New major release of Sun Storage 7000 software is available

    I noticed a new major release of the Sun Storage 7000 software is available at the website below.
    http://wikis.sun.com/display/FishWorks/Sun+Storage+7000+Series+Software+Updates.

    The format change is for BDB Java Edition 5.0 only, and does not apply to other BDB products. It's forward compatible, which means that a BDB JE application using JE 5.0 can use environments written with older versions of JE. However, it's not backwards compatible; once your environment has been opened by JE 5.0, it's been converted to the new format, and can no longer be readable by older versions of JE.
    Just for the benefit of others who may not have read the changelog, here's the full text:
    JE 5.0.34 has moved to on-disk file format 8.
    The change is forward compatible in that JE files created with release 4.1 and earlier can be read when opened with JE 5.0.34. The change is not backward compatible in that files created with JE 5.0 cannot be read by earlier releases. Note that if an existing environment is opened read/write, a new log file is written by JE 5.0 and the environment can no longer be read by earlier releases.
    There are two important notes about the file format change.
    The file format change enabled significant improvements in the operation performance, memory and disk footprint, and concurrency of databases with duplicate keys. Environments which contain databases with duplicate keys must run an upgrade utility before opening an environment with this release. See the Performance section for more information.
    An application which uses JE replication may not upgrade directly from JE 4.0 to JE 5.0. Instead, the upgrade must be done from JE 4.0 to JE 4.1 and then to JE 5.0. Applications already at JE 4.1 are not affected. Upgrade guidance can be found in the new chapter, "Upgrading a JE Replication Group", in the "Getting Started with BDB JE High Availability" guide.I may not have fully understood your question, so let us know if that doesn't answer it.

  • Is Sun Storage 7000 Storage replication adapter compatible with 2540 series

    We are evaluating VMWare Site Recovery Manager 4.0. Is Sun Storage 7000 Storage replication adapter compatible with 2540 Sun Storage series?

    I would say the short answer would be no. The 2540 is a LSI based device, the SRM adapter for that is written by LSI. The 7000
    series array is based on OpenSolaris and ZFS, quite a different beast.

  • Host based zfs config with Oracle's Unified Storage 7000 series

    Hi all,
    It is my understanding that the 7000 storage displays a FC or ISCSI lun to the host. I understand this LUN is a ZFS lun in the 7000 storage, however the host still sees this as only one LUN. If I configure a host based ZFS storage device on top of this LUN I have no host based zfs redundancy. So do we still need to create a host based ZFS mirror or a host based ZFS raidz device when use a 7000 series storage array?
    Thanks,
    Shawn

    Many thanks - telling ESX to connect to the 7310's IP address on one of the other subnets DOES appear to work!
    My brain must still be addled from some other recent issues we've been having...absolutely no idea why I hadn't tried it already...
    I stand by the fact that the BUI is ambigious, however - it still mentions that it's exported on only one of the networks...
    Thanks again...

  • Clustering and Sun Unified 7000 series

    Greetings,
    Just wanted to throw a question out here..
    I've been demo'ing the Sun Unified 7000 Vmware image and I have to say... Wow!!! Kudos to the Fishworks Team. Very nice.
    With that said, whats the outlook on being able to Cluster Messaging Server using NFS servers by these?
    Right now, You have to run a NetApp, at least the last time I checked it was that way. I'd like to see these pop up quick as the standard for that.

  • Sun Unified Storage 7000 series

    Hi
    how do i create a group on these storage. I want to map it to my solaris server so that NFS recognises it?
    Thanks in advance

    So first and foremost, Xsan is a filesystem that is formatted across a set up LUNs present over Fibre Channel. It can work with any fibre channel storage. If your client is willing and can carve out TBs of storage and have it formatted with the Xsan file systems this will work. If they want to use Final Cut Studio and just have file share via CIFS, NFS to mac workstations then they can do that with what they have now.
    Hope this helps.

  • SUN Storage 7000 stuck on GRUB Stage2

    Hi all,
    after a reboot due to a system stuck the storage stops at "GRUB Loading stage2..." any suggestion?
    Many thanks.
    d.

    Yes the above answer is correct you will need to connect via a the serial port to see the CLI interface. If you connect a monitor
    to the vga port, all you will see once the system is booted is the GRUB words.
    Refer to the install guide here which contains more information on this.

  • HT201318 I'm trying to upgrade my icloud storage but don't have an icloud icon in my settings...only a mobile me icon that no longer functions..Please tell me what I should do! Kanchor

    I'm trying to upgrade my icloud storage but don't have an icloud icon in my settings...only a mobileme icon...What should I do?

    iCloud requires OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion system requirements are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    If you can run Mountain Lion, you can purchase an upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If you can only run Lion, contact the online store in your country and purchase a download code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • I upgraded my icloud storage and amount got deducted from my account but yet storage wasn't upgraded. What can i do?

    I upgraded my icloud storage and amount got deducted from my account but yet storage wasn't upgraded. What can i do?

    How long did you wait for the systm to catch up to your request for more storage?  it can take a little while, up to an hour sometimes I have heard.
    If you don't see any more room after waiting a while, try resetting your phone to see if it appears then.
    If that doesn't help go here, http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ and see if they can help you out.

  • 3D Programming and 7000 Series set top box

    I want to watch ESPN 3D but the screens are split on my Panasonic 3D Plasma screen.  It is part of the Ultimate HD package but I have not been able to see it.  The technicians at Verizon give me a different story each time I talk to them.  One of the techs told me I need a 7000 series box to view 3D content.  Can anyone tell me if this is true or give me suggestions to make this work?  I also wonder if I need to connect the HDMI cable from the set top box directly to the tv via a 1.4 HDMI cable without going through my "non 3D capable" receiver or if a 1.3 HDMI cable will work like it does with my Playstation.  Thanks.
    Kurt

    I had the same problems. This is what you need to do if you haven't tried it yet. EPSN 3D broadcasts in 720P, so you have to go to settings and change your video settings to 720P, my guess is you probably have it set to 1080i. After setting it to 720p, then set your TV 3D setting to top and bottom and it should merge the picture. I would set the setting back to 1080i when you are done with watching the channel, the movies on demand I believe are 1080i and 3D setting side by side. Hope that helps.

  • HT201318 How do I get a refund from upgrading my iCloud storage accidentally?

    How do cancel an upgrade for iCloud storage that I made accidentally? I don't know how to contact Apple.

    If you are canceling a storage upgrade within 15 days of purchase, in the U.S. you can call 1-800-MYAPPLE for a refund.

  • HT5527 I have "My Passport" which is a backup storage.  Do I need to upgrade my iCloud storage

    I have "My Passport" whiich is a backup storage.  Do I need to upgrade my storage in i Cloud?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    As far as I know, with "My Passport" you are referring to one of the Western Digital external drives. Is this correct? In that case, you are backing up to the external drive, not iCloud, because you can't back up a Mac on iCloud.
    You don't need more iCloud storage if you are plenty of free space in it. Open System Preferences > iCloud, and check how much free storage you have. In general, if you are only using iCloud on a Mac, you don't need more iCloud storage, so you can keep the 5 GB storage

  • Recreate pool problem on a 7110 Sun Storage

    Hi,
    we have a Sun 7110 that runs mostly well, except when the iscsi volume fills up, the volume stop, and we have to drop it and recreate it. 3 weeks ago, to counter that, I switched on dedup and compression. No idea if it is a good or bad idea, but because we got lots of i/o hanging on the volume :
    - we tried to drop again the volume via the web interface.
    - after destroying it, impossible to recreate it, so we switch to the shell to see what's going on. In fact all space was filled up into the "zombie" share (pool-0/???/zombie). No idea what it is, because we never got snapshots. And the cpu was still in the roof like it was still compressing, deduplicating or what...
    - we decided to connect to destroy the whole pool (with difficulty), and the CPU stop working as crazy
    Now impossible to recreate it via the web interface.
    - i can create the pool with zpool and create volume with zfs but they don't show up in the interface
    - if we destroy again and try to create it in the web interface, we have of course no pool in the "Available pool", so I try to create it BUT i can't:
    Model     Sun Storage 7110
    Data Devices     -
    Log Devices     -
    Cache Devices     -
    as is there weren't any disks!
    I checked : the disks are ok from the OS point of view (/var/ak/logs/debug.sys doesn't complain for example, except for a spare disk that I labeled back)
    Any idea how to "reset" the storage pool?
    Do I must go through the "factory reset" (I'm not even sure it can help).
    Or should I forgot Sun/oracle appliance kit, and install freenas instead? :-)
    Any help will be appreciate (or similar concerns :-) )

    I answer to myself:
    factory reset solved the problem.
