I''ve seen the Nexenta and EON webpages, but I''m not looking to build my own. Is there anything out there I can just buy? -Kyle

Hi All: Using the following line, I am trying to install Scientific Linux (a RHEL derivative like CentOS), but the installer never sees my kickstart file : virt-install -n test-dev1 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2 --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/root \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/swap \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/nfs \ --accelerate

I understand that currently, at least under Solaris 10u6, it is not possible to jumpstart a new system with a zfs root using a flash archive as a source. Can anyone comment as to whether this restriction will pass in the near term, or if this is a while out (6+ months) before this will be possible? Thanks, Jerry

Not that I''m much of a Solaris guy, and definitely not a Solaris 10 guy, but since nobody else had posted anything yet: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetSolaris#Solaris10 The good news is that it appears to be a completely hands-off puppetd installation. Just sign the client key afterwards on the puppetmaster and you''re set. The bad news is that it''s

I was shocked to find no RCS on SXCE 107. I needed it to update some RCS archives I had copied over. No problem - go to sunfreeware and copy it over. No OpenSolaris branch? The Solaris 10 package should work. Only the package install appears to complete and does not - as documented only in a log file, not on my screen. OK then, the source for RCS should be easily compiled and installed, I

I want to run a non-global zone as a virtual router and run ipnat inside the non-global zone, however, when I try to enable routing it can''t find route:default or network/ipfilter. I''m using exclusive IP inside the zones and using OpenSolaris 2008.11 build 110. I''ve tried sparse root and whole root zones without success. I''ve read blogs and posts and

Hello, I don't know how off the wall this question will be, but first let me say that I've found your buildpkg.sh script very useful in creating an OpenSSH package for use on my Solaris systems. Currently I'm trying to set up a fully automated JumpStart system at my workplace, and I'm realizing that the 'postinstall' script (and possibly some of the other install scripts)

I have just upgraded my jumpstart server to S10 u2 b9a. It is an Ultra 10 with two 120GB EIDE drives. The second drive (disk1) is new, and has u2b9a installed on a slice, with most of the space in slice 7 for the ZFS pool I created pool1 on disk1, and created the filesystem pool1/ro (for legacy reasons). I them moved my data from the original disk0 UFS file system to pool1/ro. Initially I

I''ve been using a 5-disk raidZ for years on SXCE machine which I converted to OSOL. The only time I ever had zfs problems in SXCE was with snv_120, which was fixed. So, now I''m at OSOL snv_111b and I''m finding that scrub repairs errors on random disks. If I repeat the scrub, it will fix errors on other disks. Occasionally it runs cleanly. That it doesn''t

Hi, I was trying to download the Crossbow ISO from : http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots/ under "Crossbow Beta iso images June 6 2008" and it failed. Does anyone know of a link which is working ? Thanks for any pointers ! Regards, Sanjeev.

I'm poking through Solaris documentation trying to figure out how to make it installable via our PXE server and, as with many things Solaris, I'm hitting walls of completely foreign procedures and setups. Has anyone managed to do this before? I'm trying to set Solaris 11.3 up.

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. Here''s what I managed to salvage from the LOM console of the machine: Sep 2 18:55:19 glaurung genunix: /xpvd/xdb@41,51712 (xdb5) offline Sep 2 18:55:19 glaurung genunix: /xpvd/xdb@41,51728 (xdb6) offline

Anyone have idea how to create ZFS pool and volumes during jumstart instalation ? (I''m using JumpStart Enterprise Toolkit) kloczek

Can anyone answer if we will get zfs de-duplication before SXCE EOL? If possible also anser the same on encryption? Thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, Sorry if this is a dumb question but i can''t seem to find an anwser anything close to what i am trying to figure out... I have a dual boot machine with 3 disks - 2 x 1TB mirror OpenSolaris with ZFS root pool 1x 250GB Solaris 10 with ZFS root pool This is a development\testing\home file server machine only. My question is tho, since I can boot into either OpenSolaris or Solaris

I was trying to think of a way to set compression=on at the beginning of a jumpstart. The only idea I''ve come up with is to do so with a flash archive predeployment script. Has anyone else tried this approach? Thanks, Chad -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I''ve been doing a lot of reading about ZFS lately, and I''m quite enamored of its design goals. The reliability considerations are particularly attractive, and the snapshot scheme is more robust than anything I''m familiar with. I would very much like to keep my personal data in such a filesystem. Some time ago, I caught the launch of Drobo, a USB-connected box that does

I''m trying to figure out what the CURRENT requirements are for configuring the xVM domains to start at boot-time and stop on shutdown. The closest to current I''ve seen is http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/xVM_lowres.pdf which does not address the problem, and http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/docs/xvm-ktde-20070917.pdf which states: *

Folks; During a jumpstart (2nd boot) of a Sun Fire 240 with Solaris 10 Update 3 (11/06), I noticed the following message; Jun 27 11:43:33 first fbt: NOTICE: cannot instrument return of fd_intr at 7b7d6278: non-canonical return instruction Kernel level was Generic_118833-33. Jumpstart was conducted using the standard JET modules. What gives? The jumpstart worked though. Solaris 10 installed
