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.

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. See you all there. Cheers, Sunay -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [osol-discuss] SVOSUG - This Thurs, August 24, Sunay Tripathi presents Crossbow 7:30pm SCA03 Date: Mon, 21 Aug

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

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

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,

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 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. 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

(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

Smooth review. The case was approved unanimously by the members present. This is the summary of actions: . Advice to the team to follow on issue djr-02, clarifying the rationale for -p vs -a. . TCR - Add a format specifier (e.g. -F gnuplot) to show-usage . Two spec updates: - EOF of the VLAN PPA hack removal - Clarify mac_intr_t . Opinion fodder about the extensibility of the

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 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

Hi Everyone - Here is a draft of the first of two "pages" that I will submit to Wikipedia. The first page is a general network virtualization page. From this page, I will contribute a subpage on the Crossbow projects. These two articles are the first of a number of online articles on Crossbow that I''ll be creating on behalf of the Crossbow iteam. The article uses

I have installed on a VirtualBox vm the crossbow ISO Now I''m trying to create the network map described in the "getting started" pdf I have this situation: On global zone, I have the real NIC: e1000g0 with ip 10.0.2.15 (VirtualBox NAT this IP, I can get web access with it) I have created an etherstub (etherstub n?2) with 2 vnics (vnic5 and vnic6), I''ve plumbed

Hi everyone, I''m Ezequiel from Buenos Aires. I''m new in this list, so please forgive me if my questions are not the correct one''s fro this alias. I''m working as a campus ambassador in Sun, while finishing my engineer degree, creating communities around opensolaris in Argentina. I discovered this project, and this group, looking for something that I could

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

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).

A revised illustration that incorporates Meem''s earlier recommendations has been posted on our project page: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/clearview/cv-linkif.gif Aside from showing the interrelationships between the devices, links, and interfaces, it also shows how vanity naming might be applied to the configuration. The illustration continues to be a work in progress

Hi, I maintain a driver for a 10GbE nic which supports multiple hardware tx/rx rings. We can steer rx packets into rings using the "standard" NDIS6 Toeplitz hashing on TCP port numbers, IP addresses, etc. We can also steer packets based on MAC address. Would this NIC be considered to be capable of supporting crossbow? Also, can crossbow do things like steer outgoing packets to the
