Implementing these accounting statistics helps end-users gain a quantitative understanding of
the instantaneous and historical resource consumption and quality of service (QoS) for their
specific implementation.
Configuring the Client NFS Mount
When configuring the ZFS Storage Appliance, any server that accesses the appliance, including
Oracle SPARC SuperCluster nodes, is considered a client. Configuring the client NFS mount
includes creating the target directory structure for access to the ZFS Storage Appliance as well
as the specific NFS mount options necessary for optimal system performance. Mount options
for Solaris clients are:
rw,bg,hard,nointr,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,proto=tcp,vers=3,forcedirectio
The mount points of the directories created on the ZFS Storage Appliance should be created on
each of the Oracle SPARC SuperCluster nodes and added to their /etc/inet/hosts table.
Tuning the Solaris 11 Network and Kernel
1.
The following entries should be added to the /etc/system file of each of Oracle
SPARC SuperCluster node:
set rpcmod:clnt_max_conns = 8
set nfs:nfs3_bsize = 131072
2.
Additionally, the following commands need to be run on each Oracle SPARC
SuperCluster node every time it is rebooted:
