zvol vs raw devices and SMB

edited Apr 9, 2015 10:02AM in Oracle HSM and StorageTek QFS Software (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

I have a situation where I need to create another SAMFS filesystem.  I may be using devices connected directly to the host machine. That is I will not be using a SAN of any time, only 3 SAS drives.

My question is: Should I use a zpool with zvol's or create a standard QFS file system  with these devices?

What advantages are there over each approach? Disadvantages? Issues? Bugs? Problems?

On a separate system, I will be configuring a new HSM on Solaris 11 with the same issue as above, however I will need to share the filesystem with SMB?  Are there known issues with this configuration?
