6.2 · Fully Stateless What's new in 6.2

Storage OS. Fully Stateless.

OviOS never has to be installed. Boot it from a USB stick, an ISO or the network and it runs entirely from RAM. Your whole configuration lives on your ZFS pools and comes back by itself at every boot.

Resilience

Protect your data. Keep it online.

A cluster mirrors your primary, even to a DR site, and replication backs your data up. Both are built in.

Free · automatic failover licensed

HA & DR — ovios-cluster

A secondary that mirrors your primary, in the same rack or at your DR site, managed with a single command.

  • Free forever: clusters of any size, witness nodes, monitoring, fencing and manual failover
  • With a license: automatic failover, with no manual step. Without one, failover is manual.

Replication & backup — retadm

Replicate volumes and LUNs to one or several remote nodes. Usable for disaster recovery with manual intervention.

  • Full copy first, then fast incremental updates
  • Runs in the background, even if you close the terminal
  • Self-healing: diagnose and repair a broken replication in one command
