Dear all, since some time I have set up a mirror system as a "cold" stand by / backup to my main FreeNAS system. The main problem is the 1gbit connection. My last full sync took >36h (complete rebuld of the 2nd system).
Now I had the opportunity to get two 4gbit fibre channel PCIe adapters including a 30m fiber cable - but: I have no clue what to do now... (the cards are QLOGIC QLE2460, flashed to the newest firmware, connected and I have a nice orange light) I started reading and am getting more and more information ... and as more I read as more I am getting confused and by now I fear I can not achive what I really want:
freeNAS main-server (pool@snapshotxyz) --ZFS send-->--(fiber)--> freenas(pool/mainpool)-->zfs receive
The backup-server shall be online once per month and then offline again, the send/receive process will be started manually.
Is it possible to set up a fibre connection to achive the zfs sync? If yes, can I please ask for advice?
Thanks in advance!!!
