We take a look at running ZFS and iSCSI on a NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU. We show how there is a separate Arm Cortex-A72 complex along with the Mellanox / NVIDIA ConnectX-6 100GbE NIC onboard. By carefully crafting a demo, we show how one can run ZFS without using a traditional server.
This is a pre-cursor video to our next NVMeoF and SNAP video where we wanted to lay the framework and fundamentals for the audience.
