similar to: Crossbow integration with Solaris 10/08

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

(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, I have bfu''ed to net-virt_xb-21_snv_81_021308. The dladm command on my machine does not have create-etherstub option. Please let me know what could be the issue. Thanks Khushal

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

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,

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

Dear all: In dtrace.c, function dtrace_probe_create(), there''re a piece of code: id = (dtrace_id_t)(uintptr_t)vmem_alloc(dtrace_arena, 1, VM_BESTFIT | VM_SLEEP); id is uint32_t, and I think id is used as an index to array dtrace_probes[] but why not just use id = cur_value + 1, cur_value is a global variable to record the lastest id? Is this a trick? for what? Thanks :)

I''ve implemented code to send out bogus gratuitous ARP packet from vna in order to fix CR 6701114. The webrev is at: http://jurassic.eng/net/consulte.prc/export/build/xvm-6701114/webrev Some backgroud information (see CR 6701114 for more detail): During live migration of an xVM domain from one dom0 to another, the VNIC will be moved from one switch port to another. But, the

Hi. I would like to print out a field of a vnode, but the argument to the function is of type vnode_t **. If I set "this->vpp" to arg2 in an entry function to zfs_lookup(), I''d like to retrieve the value of one of the fields of *(this->vpp) in the return function. Something like the below (but the syntax below is not right): printf("zfs_lookup:

Can i use dtrace to anlayze my core files ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

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

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.

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

Hi, I''m trying to work out a solution for multiple zones with exclusive IP stacks, and existing on the same VLAN. For example, I have 3 zones on the same subnet (lets say 10.10.10.0/24), and want to put them in the same VLAN (let''s say 20). If they weren''t zones, I would plumb up e1000g20000 or equiv on each and off we go, but with zones and exclusive IP stack, I

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

[Initial version of this message originally sent to zfs-interest by mistake. Sorry if this appears anywhere as a duplicate.] I was noodling around with creating a backup script for my home system, and I ran into a problem that I''m having a little trouble diagnosing. Has anyone seen anything like this or have any debug advice? I did a "zfs create -r" to set a snapshot on all

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

Hi Folks, I have a snv_105 sxce host that I just can''t get to work as expected with crossbow + zones. My test host persephone, is a virtual machine running under VMware ESXi 3.5, with 2 virtual network cards (e1000), all on the same flat network/subnet. It started life just 2 days ago with a clean install of snv_95, and I LUed to 105 yesterday. To rule out any sharing issue, the first
