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

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?

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:

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.

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

I''ve been thinking about hardware that has multiple transmit rings ("tx resources"). We really should have a way to expose this up to the stack. And ideally, the stack should guarantee that a given flow will always be sent down using the same hardware tx resource. I''ve heard that crossbow will deliver this, but I can''t find evidence of it in the crossbow

Hi, I'd like to keep all emails coming from alom-alert at anydomain and not forward those but rest of the emails will be kept and forwarded as well. I put following in the .dovecot.sieve if header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert@" { keep; if not header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert@" { redirect "my at emailid on server"; redirect "xyz

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

Guys, OK, now that we have the new core contributors squared away, we can go back to finishing the contributors list. There were some people who got added and then there is existing contributors list. I think Darren''s suggestion to wait to add new core contributors is fine (let the new constitution settle down and we can in the meanwhile have a more inclusive look at both rather than

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

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.

Hi. Can a virtual switch have more than one physical NIC? Or, can a VNIC have more than one NIC? (this is the same question, I think)? emike

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

The minimum is set at 1200Kbits/second. However, in testing, if I set that for a VNIC, the domU gets no traffic at all (maybe the occassional packet). Is the minimum too low? If I set a maximum of 2000Kbits/second, I get this from nicstat (expecting around 250Kbytes/s total: Time Int rKB/s wKB/s rPk/s wPk/s rAvs wAvs %Util Sat 04:35:38 xvm15_0 146.6 5.32 102.0

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

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.
