similar to: zfs list improvements?

Wouldn''t it be great if the opensolaris community creates a fs fzfs (for flash zfs) that could be the the filesystem for SDXC cards? Two main point for this are already there Sun is a member of SD Card Association and the code writting smart on a flash should be there as well with stuff of l2arc. I think that could give the opensolaris a more visiblie/ markting in the IT space and would

[Cross-posting to ldoms-discuss] We are occasionally seeing massive time-to-completions for I/O requests on ZFS file systems on a Sun T5220 attached to a Sun StorageTek 2540 and a Sun J4200, and using a SSD drive as a ZIL device. Primary access to this system is via NFS, and with NFS COMMITs blocking until the request has been sent to disk, performance has been deplorable. The NFS server is a

I just installed build 41 of Nevada on a SunBlade 1500 with 2GB of ram. I wanted to check out zfs since the delay of S10U2 I really could not wait any longer :) I installed it on my system and created a zpool out of an approximately 40GB disk slice. I then wanted to build a version of thunderbird that contains a local patch that we like. So I download the source tar ball. I try to untar it on the

Hello, I''m a grad student working at University of Michigan in computer architecture. I''m writing to open up the idea that instrumentation of the xvm would be extremely useful tool for the research community. Those of us interested in virtualization are very interested in monitoring the behavior of these systems and with low engineering effort! I was hoping to get feedback on

I am running OpenSolaris build 134 on a T1000 (Sparc). It has been an uphill battle getting this far. Many of the commands I find in the various documentation won''t work for me. ------------------------------------------------------------ steve@t1000:~# pfexec pkg install xvm-gui Creating Plan pkg: ''xvm-gui'' matches multiple packages

Hello all. We''re a pretty traditional old school sun shop w/a few dozen sun boxes from 1999-2004. We''re doing a try and buy on a sun blade 6000 with a couple of 6250 intel blades and a 6320 blade, looking to use multiple chassis to do a consolidation, using ldoms and xvm server with xvm ops center to manage it all. At least that''s our forward looking plan.... to move

Hi all, (down to the wire here on EDU grant pricing :) i''m looking at buying a pair of 7110''s in the EDU grant sale. The price is sure right. I''d use them in a mirrored, cold-failover config. I''d primarily be using them to serve a vmware cluster; the current config is two standalone ESX servers with local storage, 450G of SAS RAID10 each. the 7110 price

I''ve searched all night long on google, discussions, threads, and the xen wiki... but I can''t find how to do this: vif = [''type=ioemu,mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,model=ne2k_pci''] where should I put this? I have sxce94, dom0 works nicely, and domUs too, but I''d like to select ne2k for an hvm openbsd dom0 that I''ve created because I''ve read

Hi all, We just got a shiny new T5440, and one of the first things I noticed (besides the insane number of hardware contexts), is that dtrace takes 30 seconds to a minute to fire up scripts with 5-6 probes, where our T5220 usually takes under a second. Shutdown is similar, though slightly faster. This is mostly annoying because it takes so long to attach that it''s hard to tell when

Hey all, I''m not sure if this is a ZFS bug or a hardware issue I''m having - any pointers would be great!

Hi, Can anyone explain the following to me? Two zpool devices points at the same data, I was installing osol 2008.11 in xVM when I saw that there already was a partition on the installation disk. An old dataset that I deleted since i gave it a slightly different name than I intended is not removed under /dev. I should not have used that name, but two device links should perhaps not

Hi, I''m running SunOS Release 5.10 Version Generic_118855-36 64-bit and in [b]/etc/system[/b] I put: [b]set zfs:zfs_nocacheflush = 1[/b] And after rebooting, I get the message: [b]sorry, variable ''zfs_nocacheflush'' is not defined in the ''zfs'' module[/b] So is this variable not available in the Solaris kernel? I''m getting really poor

I currently have 2 x ESXi boxes that have VMs stored on a NFS/iSCSI debian lenny linux box. I had purchased a new whitebox server as an intended replacement for the linux box. I had always planned on installing opensolaris on the new hardware with this config; 2 x 640GB mirrored rpool 6 x 1TB in raidz2 This box was going to be built in parallel with the current server and I would have simply

Hi everyone! I''m planning to migrate a little firm''s Windows server to a HVM machine. The test setup woks fine (it''s basically an MSSQL server tied pack of programs for an accountancy office), all programs can reach the mssql from the outside on the hvm windows. If fact it turned out to be so good, that I''m even planning to simply copy the win image(s) to the

Under Solaris 10 on a 4 core Sun Ultra 40 with 20GB RAM, I am setting up a Sun StorageTek 2540 with 12 300GB 15K RPM SAS drives and connected via load-shared 4Gbit FC links. This week I have tried many different configurations, using firmware managed RAID, ZFS managed RAID, and with the controller cache enabled or disabled. My objective is to obtain the best single-file write performance.

Hi, just found: PSARC/2010/250 EOF of Solaris xVM dom0 approved. So does this mean, Xen is officially dead on Solaris?

hi folks, is there a straightforward or well-documented way to migrate my physical sxce snv_115 (x64) system into an xvm ? searching for "p2v" in an opensolaris context seems to pick up a few hits on zones, but nothing obvious relating to xvm on opensolaris for what it''s worth the host system is opensolaris (2010.02 snv_126), but i''m hoping that''s not very
