[Lustre-discuss] [Fwd: Is IBRIX supported under Solaris 10]

[Brennan]

Hi Terri,

A year and half ago we tried to implement Ibrix on FLX-380s and  
x4200's and do qualification on the fly at the customer site. Due to  
a series of inopportune issues things did not go well. Last year we  
did some qualification of Ibrix on Thumpers, but it was done using  
Linux. For details talk to Art Licht. The software is *very  
expensive*, but I don't know if they have a special pricing model for  
Thumpers.
If you look at the current efforts the CFS is going through to port  
Lustre to Solaris+ZFS, I am not sure that Ibrix would be
interested in porting to Solaris given that they are a small  
organization.

If the customer is interested in a clustered filesystem and Solaris  
why don't  you propose Lustre? The complete port to Solaris
(OSS+MDS) is supposed to be completed by the end of the calendar year  
and pricing model is much more palatable.
