After the interesting revelations about the X2100 and it''s hot-swap abilities, what are the abilities of the X2200-M2''s disk subsystem, and is ZFS going to tickle any wierdness out of them? -brian -- "The reason I don''t use Gnome: every single other window manager I know of is very powerfully extensible, where you can switch actions to different mouse buttons. Guess which one is not, be...

Hello all! We are testing virtualization with two Sun X2200 M2 (2 x Opteron Dual Core) with Xen (3.1.3, locally compiled, Debian etch), KVM (Debian Sid) and Windows Virtual Server (Windows 2003 Server). We have tried paravirtualization and also full virtualization (Pacifica). In all cases we have experienced problems regarding stability in the systems,...

Hi, between March 16 and now, bge on a Sun X2200 stopped working, turning off msi (via hw..pci.enable_msi=0) got it working again. I tried first replacing bge with an older version but that did not help. please advice :-) Danny

Hello! Please, help me, I''m totally lost choosing basic budget server for XEN. The variants are Sun (X2200 M2 or Sun X2250 M2) or maybe HP Proliant DL160 G5p. Or maybe some IBM server? Which X2200 configuration will perform better, two Opteron dual-core 22xx or single quad-core 23xx? Which one performing better nowadays, Opteron or Xeon? I know that 2-3 years ago Opteron was the better choice for...

Hi Folks, I''ve got a 4 Tb pool on a 3511 array. The pool was created from, and is mounted on, an old 280r. I''d like to export the pool from the 280r and import it to a shiny new x2200. Will this work? Will the x2200 understand the disk labels made by the 280r? Some tests we''ve done on a smaller, non-production pool suggest not. Suggestions or pointers welcome. Thanks Eddie

Friends, I have recently built a file server on x2200 with solaris x86 having zfs (version4) and running NFS version2 & samba. the AIX 5.2 & AIX 5.2 client give error while running command "cp -R <zfs_nfs_mount_source> <zfs_nfs_mount_desticantion> as below: cp: 0653-440 directory/1: name too long. cp: 0653-438 cannot read dir...

Hi, I know (from the zfs-discuss archives and other places [1,2,3,4]) that a lot of people are looking to use zfs as a storage server in the 10-100TB range. I''m in the same boat, but I''ve found that hardware choice is the biggest issue. I''m struggling to find something which will work nicely under solaris and which meets my expectations in terms of hardware.

Hi, I installed opensolaris on a x2200 m2 with two internal drives that had an existing root pool with a Solaris 10 update 6. After installing opensolaris 2009.06 the host refused to boot. The opensolaris install was fine. I had to pull the second hard drive to get the host to boot. Then insert the second drive and relabel the old r...

Hi I'm having a problem with setting up a kickstart environment based on CentOS 5.2 x86_64, on a Sun X2200 M2 server (both the server and the client in the kickstart environment are Sun X2200 M2 systems): the first attempt to load stage2.img fails with the error screen: "unable to retrieve http://192.168.11.10/source/images/stage2.img". Pressing the "OK" button brings up the "HT...

...node0770 ~]# dmesg|grep eth0 eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 0108e:534b bound to 0000:00:08.0 If I remove our lustre modules that were built for the 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 kernel and reboot, the eth0 interface reappears. Another piece to this puzzle is that this problem only seems to happen on our Sun X2200?s. Our Dell 1950?s work just fine after putting on the 5.3 updates. Anyone know what could cause this behavior?

Hi all, I have a Sun x2200 named Adra running OpenSolaris 2008.11 set up as a Dom0 per Levon''s instructions on this site. It hosts some production services and has been running nice and stable for a number of months now (with NetWare DomUs running GroupWise, believe it or not). The machine is pretty nicely speced...

I am helping a friend who is build a storage server for his company and I have advocated for Solaris and ZFS. But now we are having trouble to find any good SATA controller for 12+ disks, there are Areca cards, but they seems very flaky (24 port support, but hangs with more than 12 in JBOD mode, hangs on disk failures etc). The AOC-SAT2-MV8,AOC-USAS-L8i have been mentioned, but it had

...nload directories for v4.4 are populated with links to 4.3? (And why the torrent files for v4.3 ia64 don't work?) Now, instead of the symptom, I'll describe my actual problem. Has anyone successfully installed CentOS (any flavor, although I prefer ia64 and stock) on a Sun Microsystems X2200 server? The 4.2 ia64 installer I have detects neither the SATA controller nor the updated network controller. Thank you for your time! -- David.Mackintosh at xdroop.com

After having to replace an internal raid card in an X2200 (S10U3 in this case), I can see the disks just fine - and can boot, so the data isn''t completely missing.

I have a current RELENG_7 running on: http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/4U/7045/SYS-7045B-TR+.cfm with the -3+ IPMI card. I can interact with the BIOS, etc, but no joy once we get past the loader. Anyone have ideas?

I had the chance to test out one of the new Sun X2200 M2 servers for a week or so, aiming to check out the status of HVM support on these machines. The machine was a dual-Opteron dual-core, with 8GB RAM and 1 300GB SATA disk. Normally I tend to use Debian on my servers, but due to lack of needed hardware support on Debian x86_64 images, and because...

Hi all! I am running SXCE 121 on a dual quad-core X2200M2 (64 bit of course). During an installation of a NetBSD 5.0.1 PVM domU, the entire machine crashed with a kernel panic.

Hey folks, I guess this is an odd question to be asking here, but I could do with some feedback from anybody who''s actually using ZFS in anger. I''m about to go live with ZFS in our company on a new fileserver, but I have some real concerns about whether I can really trust ZFS to keep my data alive if things go wrong. This is a big step for us, we''re a 100% windows
