Hi, Can you tell why my vnic built on top of an aggregation of 2 NICs of 1 Gbit/s doesn''t report a speed of 2 GBit/s ? [root at nazgul /]# dladm show-dev bge0 link: up speed: 1000Mb duplex: full bge1 link: down speed: 0Mb duplex: unknown bge2 link: down speed: 0Mb duplex: unknown bge3 link: down speed: 0Mb

How do I create a vnic that represents the factory assigned MAC address of my physical nic? The bge device in my system (x2100) appears to support 4 MAC addresses. The driver reserves the first as the ''primary/default'' address and allows manipulation of the other three via the MAC_CAPAB_MULTIADDRESS interface. I''d like to use vnics on this system, as I have Xen guest

In crossbow, each mac_srs has a kernel thread called "mac_rx_srs_poll_ring" to poll the hardware and crossbow will wakeup this thread to poll packets from the hardware automatically. Does crossbow provide any method to disable the polling mechanism, for example disabling the this kernel thread?

Hi, I''m afraid I have some problems understanding how crossbow is supposed to work ;) On my machine (OpenSolaris, snv_111) I''m running VirtualBox with couple of linux / XP installation and additionally a zone with exclusive IP. My network configuration looks like this: [6]elsinore:~>dladm show-link LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER bge0 phys 1500 up

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

Hi, how can ip instances be used with vlans ? Is that possible ? I don''t know how to configure this, if I only have one interface (e.g. bge0), and want to assign e.g. bge1000 to a zone. Any cookbooks available ? Thanks Detlef

I decided to take a stab at 6601421 dladm set-linkprop should support multiple -p options along with some related linkprop fixes, but when I looked into dladm.c, was surprised to find that "dladm_parse_props()" is called from do_create_aggr and do_create_vlan in addition to the expected (by me, at least) do_create_vnic *linkprop functions. What happened here? Why do we pass in

(Bcc''ed to networking discuss). Hi All, Have enclosed man page draft for dlstat(1M) herewith. This is part of the effort to gain better visibility into network traffic in light of crossbow features like virtual NICs, interrupt vs. polling modes etc. This in turn would greatly assist network performance analysis. It is also aimed at segregating link/flow configuration from

Hi all, Link protection is a new feature we are planning to introduce to Solaris and we would like to solicit your feedback on it. Please see attached document for details.

Folks, I''m playing with maxbw on links (as opposed to flows) in Crossbow, and I have a couple of questions. First, the limts seem only advisory. The first example has the main host talking to a zone that has 172.16.17.100 configured on znic0. When there is no maxbw, the throughtput is as expected; when maxbw is 55M the throughput only drops to 76 Mbps: # netperf -H

Actually, it is not a list.. but just something that''ll be very useful to me in my business. If crossbow/virtual interfaces can provide a flow that can capture bandwidth usage over a period of time (including 95 percentile), that''ll be great! Is this possible? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Recently I found that the mac_srs_rx_poll_ring thread may never stop in kernel, please see the following mpstat, cpu 2 is in 100% kernel usage, but no syscalls and no interrupts.

1 simple question about network statistics for vnics: We noticed that the statistics for vnics (used by Virtualbox guests) are not there. When the nics are plumped in the host OS, we do see them showing up, but all all records are 0. Can someone tell me how to get the correct network info via snmp on the Vbox Host?? Thanks in advance.

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

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:

I opened a bug report earlier today but it doesn''t seem to have been added to the bugs database. I''m posting here in case one of the Crossbow developers might see it and confirm this behavior. Description Duplicate packets are generated whenever an aggregate is introduced into the network configuration. We''ve ruled out switch ports and physical bge interfaces as

Folks, I just posted an updated Crossbow virtualization architecture document. The new revision is available at: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/Docs/crossbow-virt.pdf The main changes are the addition of support for multiple MAC addresses per client, and an explicit separation between consolidation private and project private MAC API entry points. See in particular the

Howdy, I just installed the crossbow snapshot from opensolaris.org, and bumped into an issue when attempting to create a virtual nic: $ dladm create-vnic -i 192.168.1.101 -d ni0 2 dladm: VNIC creation failed: No such file or directory (unknown diagnostic) When I truss the process, it looks like it''s failing when attempting to open the vnic pseudo-device: 100878/1:
