As part of your purchase decision of a ZFS be sure you can address each of these questions	What is your Backup Strategy? Incremental Merge or Traditional Backup set Backups? If Incremental Merge (incrementally updated backups) - What are your RTO/RPO requirements? What is the daily change rate and the backup window? What is your Recovery window? How many weeks of backups do we need to retain? What is your Backup Strategy - Full only or Full + Incremental? What is the Size of full backups? What is the Size of incremental backups? Are there replication requirements to a remote site via ZFSSA replication? What are the replication connectivity requirements (10GbE/1GbE/InfiniBand,other)? Do you need space available for test, dev, and/or cloning? What are the General Connectivity Requirements? Dual or single controller design?

Click The (+) Button to the left of "Available Pools" to define a storage pool

Enter the name of the storage pool being created. In this case the pool will hold non-PCI DSS data

Choose the number of disk to be included in the pool from each storage unit

The BUI presents the pool configurations available for the number of disks selected. At right I seleected Double Parity yielding 18.8T of available storage.

Here is the storage screen after creating three separate pools as follows NOPCIDB for non PCI DSS data storage PCIDB for storage containing encrypted credit card numbers DOWNLOADS: A very small pool to hold patches and rpms

ZFS Properties
	The following example sets the atime property to off for tank/home.
	# zfs set atime=off tank/home
	any file system property can be set when a file system is created. For example:
	# zfs create -o atime=off tank/home
Set Storage Quota
	# zfs set quota=50G tank/home/marks # zfs set quota=50g tank/home/marks # zfs set quota=50GB tank/home/marks # zfs set quota=50gb tank/home/marks

ZFS Clone Commands
Create a ZFS Snapshot A clone must be created in a file system with a pool identical to the original file.	zfs snapshot <snapshot_name>@<datetime>
	# zfs snapshot nopcidata/odsp@yesterday
Create a ZFS Clone from a Snapshot	zfs clone <clone_name>
	# zfs clone nopcidata/odsp@yesterday scrubhold/home/odsp
Create a Cloned Workspace	zfs clone <clone_name>
	# zfs snapshot proj/newproj@today # zfs clone proj/newproj@today proj/ops/opsuser # zfs set sharenfs=on proj/ops/opsuser # zfs set quota=1T proj/ops/opsuser
Replace ZFS File System with a ZFS Clone	???
	# zfs create tank/test # zfs create tank/test/productA # zfs snapshot tank/test/productA@today # zfs clone tank/test/productA@today tank/test/productAbeta # zfs list -r tank/test NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT tank/test 104M 66.2G 23K /tank/test tank/test/productA 104M 66.2G 104M /tank/test/productA tank/test/productA@today 0 - 104M - tank/test/productAbeta 0 66.2G 104M /tank/test/productAbeta # zfs promote tank/test/productAbeta # zfs list -r tank/test NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT tank/test 104M 66.2G 24K /tank/test tank/test/productA 0 66.2G 104M /tank/test/productA tank/test/productAbeta 104M 66.2G 104M /tank/test/productAbeta tank/test/productAbeta@today 0 - 104M -
Complete Clone Replacement	# zfs rename tank/test/productA tank/test/productAlegacy # zfs rename tank/test/productAbeta tank/test/productA # zfs list -r tank/test
Remove File System	# zfs destroy tank/test/productAlegacy
Destroy a ZFS Clone	zfs destroy <clone_name>@<datetime> ???
	# zfs destroy nopcidata/odsp@yesterday scrubhold/home/odsp
