similar to: How to have ZFS root with /usr on a separate datapool

Using build 70, I followed the zfsboot instructions at http:// www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/ to the letter. I tried first with a mirror zfsroot, when I try to boot to zfsboot the screen is flooded with "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" Than I tried with a simple zfs pool (not mirrored) and it just reboots right away. If I try to setup grub

Hello, I''m using the latest b75 ISO to try and get a solaris dom0 running on my laptop, a Sony SZ-330P. The Xen LiveCD works just fine, so I know that theoretically it should work. Build 75 also works just fine on my Sony, including sound and video, etc. But when I try and boot the Xen kernel, the system hangs. There''s no panic printed to console. If I pass a -v option at

Hi, Given two disk c1t0d0 (DISK A) and c1t1d0 (DISK B)... 1/ Standard install on DISK A. 2/ zfs boot install on DISK B. 3/ I change the boot order and my zfs boot works fine. 4/ I install grub on the mbr of DISK B 5/ I disconnect and replace DISK A with DISK B 6/ Reboot, get the grub menu select Solaris ZFS and it panics that it cannot mount root path @ device XXX... This is not a ZFS

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

I have created a script that gets a snapshot and backs the snapshot to tape. I would like to keep the snapshot around for one week, than destroy it using the following command: "zfs destroy snapshotlvolume." Is there a way to automate the destroying of snapshots that are older that x amount of days? This message and its attachments may contain legally privileged or

Hi, I was just wondering if ZFS root is likely to be an install option any time soon, either in SXCR or the June Solaris update? The mechanism at Tabriz''s blog seem to work well, but it''d be nice to get it out of the box. -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/

After an "exaustive" search on what may be causing this, I still can''t figure it out. I keep getting this same error when trying to run virt-install: # virt-install Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 666, in ? main() File "/usr/bin/virt-install", line 518, in main conn = libvirt.open(options.connect) File

Hey All, So, just to get this idea out of my brain, and on to the screen, I''ve got a prototype of a mechanism that takes automatic snapshots. More info (and a tarball!) from my blog at http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/timf?entry=zfs_automatic_snapshots_prototype_1 cheers, tim -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Operating Platforms Group Engineering Operations

Hi All, I just posted version 0.6 of the automatic snapshots prototype on my web log. The new features are: * ZFS send/receive support * Multiple schedules per filesystem More at: http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_automatic_snapshots_now_with Note, this is just something I''ve been messing about with in my free time - it''s not an official ZFS project and may not be

Hi, As a part of the next stages of the time-slider project we are looking into doing actual backups onto removable media devices such as USB media. The goal is to be able to view snapshots stored on the media and merge these into the list of viewable snapshots in nautilus giving the user a broader selection of restore points. In an ideal world we would like to detect the insertion of the

Hi Is it possible to convert live 3 disks zpool from raidz to raidz2 And is it possible to add 1 new disk to raidz configuration without backups and recreating zpool from cratch. Thanks This message posted from opensolaris.org

I don''t seem to have access to the web administration interface. It worked fine up to svn_B37, but B38 and B39 don''t appear to have it deployed. I can start the web console server "/usr/sbin/smcwebserver start" and log in as root but ZFS does not appear in the list of applications. Is there something additional I need to do?

hi everyone, I am planning on creating a local SAN via NFS(v4) and several redundant nodes. I have been using DRBD on linux before and now am asking whether some of you have experience on on-demand network filesystem mirrors. I have yet little Solaris sysadmin know how, but i am interesting whether there is an on-demand support for sending snapshots. I.e. not via a cron job, but via a
