Testing Fileserver, storage & DLT S4
Today I spend most of my day building a test environment. The test environment has 1 Sun Fire X2100-M2 with a Sun StorageTek SCSI Adapter connected to a Promise VTrak M210 with 8 x 320GB configured with Hardware RAID6.
For networking a Cisco ASA 5505 is used (because of its VPN functionality) and a 3Com 24 x 10/100/1000 switch.
The X2100-M2 has 4 NIC’s. 2 NIC’s are configured with aggregation, 1 is used for the Service Processor and the other one is not used.
All seems to be working, solaris x64 is installed on the x2100-M2. The VTrak works perfectly and shows a 1.76TB RAID6 partition which is perfectly mountable with Solaris 10. Tomorrow all will be installed at the client on location and will be the heart of the network which consists of severel Mac workstations.
