similar to: X4500 ILOM thinks disk 20 is faulted, ZFS thinks not.

Hi, I''m struggling to get a stable ZFS replication using Solaris 10 110/06 (actual patches) and AVS 4.0 for several weeks now. We tried it on VMware first and ended up in kernel panics en masse (yes, we read Jim Dunham''s blog articles :-). Now we try on the real thing, two X4500 servers. Well, I have no trouble replicating our kernel panics there, too ... but I think I

Is ZFS efficient at handling huge populations of tiny-to-small files - for example, 20 million TIFF images in a collection, each between 5 and 500k in size? I am asking because I could have sworn that I read somewhere that it isn''t, but I can''t find the reference. Thanks, Brian -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/

Hello, i''m new to puppet (and ruby). I have a problem when using a variable name containing a variable name and containing a reserved variable name : I have a class : class kernel-Linux-binary { $test = $operatingsystem ? { Fedora => "/usr/bin/test", default => undef } } and i want to call "test" and replace Linux by

Hello * this morning I tried to upgrade from pxelinux 3.11 to 3.84 and discovered that the localboot stuff does not work on HP DL360 G3 and G5. The latest syslinux Version I found with a working localboot is 3.36. pxelinux.cfg/default: default harddisk prompt 1 label harddisk localboot 0 implicit 0 timeout 250 This so simple, it should just work, shouldn't it? The

Hi all, yesterday we had a drive failure on a fc-al jbod with 14 drives. Suddenly the zpool using that jbod stopped to respond to I/O requests and we get tons of the following messages on /var/adm/messages: Sep 3 15:20:10 fb2 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /scsi_vhci/disk at g20000004cfd81b9f (sd52): Sep 3 15:20:10 fb2 SCSI transport failed: reason ''timeout'':

Syslinux 3.85 is a bug fix and minor new feature release. The biggest change is undoubtedly that gPXELINUX is now considered feature complete, and should be able to be a drop-in for PXELINUX for all uses. Special thanks to Intel Corporation, my current employer, for their support for my Syslinux work. Changes in 3.85: * gPXELINUX: updated to gPXE 1.0.0. gPXELINUX can now do NBP

Hi, I am not able to execute the commands on ILOM using ssh . Have a look below screenshot. Can you help me in creating SSH session with ILOM . root at localhost ~]# ssh root at 10.255.17.102 "show /SYS" Password: shell: Invalid credentials But directly i am able to connect ILOM using ssh .

If I use the Xvm pv guest console in ILOM GUI, I can''t detach it because I can''t press ctrl + ] Even when using the lock altgr key, when pressing ctrl this lock is silently disabled. Maybe some one could tell me how to press ctrl + AltGr + 9 in ILOM thx, florian

Thanks to debugging information from Thomas Mieslinger, I have root-caused the failure of chain.c32 in Syslinux 3.85. I have put out Syslinux 3.86-pre1 and Syslinux 4.00-pre33 which fix the problem. I expect to release a Syslinux 3.86 relatively shortly (ideally in the next two weeks), with bug fixes only. I would like to figure out if there are other bug fixes we can get in in reasonable time,

It say to give a copy of dmidecode or sysdump if I need to use localboot -1 pxelinux.0 worked with localboot 0 but gpxelinux.0 didn't it needed localboot -1 This was on my hp machines

Hi there, have a strange behavior if i?ll create a zfs pool at an EMC PowerPath pseudo device. I can create a pool on emcpower0a but not on emcpower2a zpool core dumps with invalid argument .... ???? Thats my second maschine with powerpath and zfs the first one works fine, even zfs/powerpath and failover ... Is there anybody who has the same failure and a solution ? :) Greets Dominik

Under Solaris 10 on a 4 core Sun Ultra 40 with 20GB RAM, I am setting up a Sun StorageTek 2540 with 12 300GB 15K RPM SAS drives and connected via load-shared 4Gbit FC links. This week I have tried many different configurations, using firmware managed RAID, ZFS managed RAID, and with the controller cache enabled or disabled. My objective is to obtain the best single-file write performance.

Hi all, I''m running Puppet on FreeBSD and recently I started building my own packages. I would like to set the PKGROOT variable on all hosts so that packages are fetched from my server instead of freebsd.org. Is it possible to set this with puppet? I''ve read the suggestion on Trac [1], and it solves the problem when puppet is run with an rc script, but it won''t work

Hello... Since there has been much discussion about zpool import failures resulting in loss of an entire pool, I thought I would illustrate a scenario I just went through to recover a faulted pool that wouldn''t import under Solaris 10 U5. While this is a simple scenario, and the data was not terribly important, I think the exercise should at least give some piece of mind to those who

I had been running CentOS 5 happily on my Sun Fire X4200 M2 systems, then I upgraded the BIOS and iLOM firmware. Now I'm running into what seems to be a fairly common problem with newer motherboards. I cannot boot unless I use the 'noapic' kernel option. If I try to boot the kernel normally, I get the error: "MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC" I can

Hi list, I'm new to clustering, and I'm running a little cluster at home. The cluster is running on a workstation hardware and running on Centos 6.5. Component: corosync, pacemaker, drbd and pcs.

Hi. After running with the crossbow bits for a while, I discovered that the network management port on my T1000 wasn''t working properly (no link light). When logging in on the serial management port and running "resetsc", I got this: --->8--- ALOM POST 1.0 Dual Port Memory Test, PASSED. TTY External - Internal Loopback Test TTY External - Internal Loopback Test, PASSED.

This was previously posed to the sun-managers mailing list but the only reply I received recommended I post here at well. We have a production Solaris 10u5 / ZFS X4500 file server which is reporting NLM_DENIED_NOLOCKS immediately for any nfs locking request. The lockd does not appear to be busy so is it possible we have hit some sort of limit on the number of files that can be locked? Are there

I am bumping this thread because I too have the same question ... can I put modern 3TB disks (hitachi deskstars) into an old x4500 ? If not, would the x4540 accept them ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Dear ALL, IHAC who would like to use Sun Fire X4500 to be the NFS server for the backend services, and would like to see the potential performance gain comparing to their existing systems. However the outputs of the I/O stress test with iozone show the mixed results as follows: * The read performance sharply degrades (almost down to 1/20, i.e from 2,000,000 down to 100,000) when the
