SunOS STREAMS-based device drivers wishing to support the STREAMS TCP/IP and other STREAMS-based networking protocol suite implementations support Version 2 of the Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI). DLPI V2 enables a data link service user to access and use any of a variety of conforming data link service providers without special knowledge of the provider's protocol. Specifically, the interface is intended to support Ethernet, X.25 LAPB, SDLC, ISDN LAPD, CSMA/CD, FDDI, token ring, token bus, Bisync, and other datalink-level protocols.

Note: The UART interface provides methods for controlling and accessing a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter).

Thin Provisioned

Controls whether space is reserved for the volume. This property is only valid for LUNs. By default, a LUN reserves exactly enough space to completely fill the volume. This ensures that clients will not get out-of-space errors at inopportune times. This property allows the volume size to exceed the amount of available space. When set, the LUN will consume only the space that has been written to the LUN.

Hybrid Columnar Compression is an Oracle Database compression technology which enables the highest levels of data compression and provides enterprises with cost savings and performance improvements due to reduced I/O. Hybrid Columnar Compression can be enabled on Oracle Databases residing on dNFS shares without ASM on an Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance beginning with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition 11.2.0.3.

If your data does contain duplicates, enabling Data Deduplication will both save space by storing only one copy of a given block regardless of how many times it occurs.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Plug-in for Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance provides monitoring and provisioning for all Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance models. In addition, the plug-in provides the following primary features:

• Raises alerts for preselected configuration and monitoring data
• Gathers and presents storage system, configuration, and performance information for Oracle ZFS Storage appliances
• Ties together Oracle databases deployed on NFS shares from Oracle ZFS Storage Appliances
• Provides Business Intelligence (BI) Publisher (previously in Information Publisher) reports that complement Oracle ZFS Storage Analytics reports
• Provides configurable job utilities in the Enterprise Manager Job Library that can provision users on target appliances, manage dataset retention policies and manage collections of datasets
• Provides target-based storage provisioning on Oracle ZFS Storage Appliances
• Utilizes system health checks that can provide alerts to potential system stability and performance issues
