Known Limitations and other notes
OpenSolaris
- 3tera has tested both OpenSolaris build 2008.05 and build 82
- All OpenSolaris appliances distributed with AppLogic are based on build 2008.05
Solaris 10
- AppLogic does not distribute any Solaris 10 appliances or applications due to licensing restrictions. However, AppLogic does support Solaris 10 based appliances. In order to use Solaris 10 on your grid, please contact Technical Support.
zfs support in AppLogic
- zfs may not be used on the boot volume for an OpenSolaris appliance (this will be fixed in a future release, most likely as a hotfix to AppLogic)
- The AppLogic Solaris filer that is used for Solaris volume operations does support zfs. However, currently this is limited to single device zfs pools. In order to take full advantage of all of the zfs capabilities under AppLogic, users may assemble their own zfs pools inside of their own appliances. If a zfs pool is going to be used for mirroring, the AppLogic volumes that are used in the pool should be created with the AppLogic mirroring disabled (using the
mirrored=0option when creating the volumes). Please see the Solaris filer data sheet for more information on all of the zfs limitations. - Solaris 10 uses an older version of zfs that is incompatible with the version of zfs used by OpenSolaris 2008.05 and does not work with the AppLogic filer. However, zfs may still be used if the user manually assembles their own zfs pools in their Solaris 10 appliance.
