Team, We are trying to install Crossbow on VirtualBox. Siva first tried it on Linux and reported it in Hyderabad Open Solaris User Group alias. http://opensolaris.org/os/project/hosug/ Today both of us tried it on VirtualBox running on OpenSolaris. Both attempts have the same results. a. Selecting Solaris Developer Express during boot process exits the installation. See this picture:

The following is mainly a capture of parts of multiple off-line discussions within members of the Crossbow team (Gopi, Thiru, Roamer, May-Lin, Thirumailai, Nitin, KB, ...), I thought I''d open it up to other participants. Crossbow''s core scheduling involves switching a NIC (or individual Rx rings on the NIC) to polling mode. The receive interrupt will become not only rarer,

(networking-discuss Bcc''ed) Good morning, The Crossbow team would like to invite you to participate in the project''s third and last phase of code review. The third phase of the review starts today, and will last for two weeks. It covers the following parts of the code: VLANs Link Aggregations Xen mac_datapath_setup All drivers

As requested by several people, an Overview document has been posted at http://blogs.sun.com/sunay The reference section also contains a pointer to the slides that will be used for tonights presentation.

Howdy, I just finished reading through the Crossbow presentation: http://blogs.sun.com/sunay/resource/crossbow.pdf And have one question. If you create a virtual NIC with dladm: $ dladm create-vnic -d bge0 -m 0:1:2:3:4:5 -b 10000 1 Can you then add vnic1 directly to the zone? e.g.: zonecfg -z zone1 zonecfg:zone1> create zonecfg:zone1> set zonepath=/zones/zone1 zonecfg:zone1> add net

Hi All, >From the design documents, I see there is an option "DLADM_VNIC_OPT_NODUPCHECK" for checking if the vnic MAC is unique on the same physical NIC. I have a question here. Does crossbow check if the MAC address is unique on the same subnet? E.g, create a vnic on hostA with hostB''s MAC address. Thanks, Karol

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.

Hey ..This looks very much like the user-mode linux i used to work on. not gone thru the Xen specs but what crossbow looks like is solaris version of UML[user-mode linux] . last time i was almost killed testing free/swan on a virtual testbed using UML. gosh... matching the root filesystem version with the kernel was the biggest fight...lately had to build my own with mkrootfs :) ... best view of

We have had an interesting issue with Market Data and Network Interface failures in the past with ipmp (or even VCS multinicA).. Multicast groups can not span multiple interfaces and in our environment when we have a network failure the interface is failed over however the multicast group does not. The only way to recreate the multicast group is to restart the application with the active network

Hi, netvirt-src-20080310.tar.bz2 appears to the last beta release. Is this synced against Build 81 ? Also when is the next beta expected ? Regards, Moinak.

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

Crossbow team, The following is of interest to the Crossbow project. Since a large chunk of these changes also exist in the Crossbow gate, the delivery of this wad will result in fewer lines of changes for Crossbow''s delivery. If someone on Crossbow could participate in this review, that would be a bonus (Eric Cheng made original changes in the Crossbow gate at some point last year).

Hi all, As part of IPv6 version specific classification support in crossbow we are introducing ip_version option in flowadm interface and associated classification functions. If ip_version option is not specified, but v4 or v6 address is passed as arg. to ip_addr option of flowadm cli that can also help to populate version specific bits in flow_mask to specify if policy (and flow entry

Hi, >From what I have read, the create-vnic feature in dladm is only available within the context of crossbow...? Specifically, what I am wondering is whether it is at all possible to successfully install crossbow on top of Sun''s "Standard/sunsolve supported" Solaris 10/08 rather than OpenSolaris, per. Se.... Is this at all feasible? Many thanks in advance.. Best

Hi. I tried to send this to the mailing list, but it never showed up in the archives, so I''m trying the forum instead... I recently installed the Crossbow Beta October 31 2008 on my SunFire T1000, and let me first say that I''m very pleased with the functionality it provides. What''s not so pleasing is the fact that after installing this, the computer now get very

On OpenSolaris 2009.06 I created a flow, half a dozen VNICs, and I set some properties, and everything was working, then I rebooted my system and everything disappeared from show-vnic, show-flow, and show-prop. When I tried to re-create the objects, dladm said they already existed. While I could not see the objects, I could delete them. Example: # dladm show-vnic # dladm create-vnic -l bge0

Among other things, I run an http server on my home DSL line (6M/768kbit). The content includes several large image galleries, and when certain crawlers hit our server w/ multiple large image uploads, we end up with large ping time delays - sufficient to disrupt the kids'' on-line gaming. Attempts to control this with robots.txt has not be very successful; Solaris IPQoS appears quite

Hi, all I want to get some information of How xVM is integrated with Crossbow project. Do some buddies have those documents or blogs? Thanks --luke

Hi the Crossbow team, I am testing my UV fastpath bits and I found several issues that need your suggestion: 1. dladm show-usage won''t work if UV fastpath is enabled. Since the link usage data are collected based on the statistics of the mac_client_impl_t, and UV fastpath skips the GLDv3 processing, that won''t be available. I don''t see a solution for this except
