Oracle Solaris operating systems

DISKMAP

The DISKMAP option specifies how the server performs I/O to a disk storage pool.

There are two ways the server can perform I/O to a disk storage pool:
  • Maps the client data to memory.
  • Writes the client data directly to disk.
You can switch from one method to the other. The default is to write directly to disk. To determine the best method for your system, perform the same operation (for example, a client file backup) for each setting.
