We have a SunFire X4500 running Solaris 10U5 which does about 5-8k nfs ops of which about 90% are meta data. In hind sight it would have been significantly better to use a mirrored configuration but we opted for 4 x (9+2) raidz2 at the time. We can not take the downtime necessary to change the zpool configuration. We need to improve the meta data performance with little to no money. Does anyone

The vendor wanted to come in and replace an HDD in the 2nd X4500, as it was "constantly busy", and since our x4500 has always died miserably in the past when a HDD dies, they wanted to replace it before the HDD actually died. The usual was done, HDD replaced, resilvering started and ran for about 50 minutes. Then the system hung, same as always, all ZFS related commands would just

Hi ZFS gods, I have a x4500 I wish to upgrade from a SVM UFS Sol 10u5 to a ZFS rpool 10u6 or Opensolaris. Since I know (via backing up my sharetab) what shares I need to have (all nfs share - no cifs on this 4500 - YAY) and have organised downtime for this server, would it be easier for me to go to Solaris 10u6 (or opensolaris) by just installing from scratch and re-importing the ZPOOL

While I understand everything at Oracle is "top secret" these days. Does anyone have any insight into a next-gen X4500 / X4540? Does some other Oracle / Sun partner make a comparable system that is fully supported by Oracle / Sun? http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/previous-products/index.html What do X4500 / X4540 owners use if they''d like more

I am bumping this thread because I too have the same question ... can I put modern 3TB disks (hitachi deskstars) into an old x4500 ? If not, would the x4540 accept them ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Dear ALL, IHAC who would like to use Sun Fire X4500 to be the NFS server for the backend services, and would like to see the potential performance gain comparing to their existing systems. However the outputs of the I/O stress test with iozone show the mixed results as follows: * The read performance sharply degrades (almost down to 1/20, i.e from 2,000,000 down to 100,000) when the

After applying 125205-07 on two X4500 machines running Sol10U4 and removing "set sata:sata_func_enable = 0x5" from /etc/system to re-enable NCQ, I am again observing drive disconnect error messages. This in spite of the patch description which claims multiple fixes in this area: 6587133 repeated DMA command timeouts and device resets on x4500 6538627 x4500 message logs contain multiple

Has anyone worked with a x4500/x4540 and know if the internal raid controllers have a bbu? I''m concern that we won''t be able to turn off the write-cache on the internal hds and SSDs to prevent data corruption in case of a power failure. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

To all, I am using dovecot --version 1.0.10 and trying to convert MBOXes to MailDir's with the end goal of creating one folder filled with users old MBOXes that when they log in for the first time will be converted to Mail Dir format. I tried this and it did not work and gave me this output; <snip> default_mail_env = maildir:%h/mail/ #convert_mail =

Hello, I am attempting to get flock/file locking working between my -stable (updated ~19 may) nfs file server and -current desktop; the server is running lockd/statd, and both my mail client (mutt) and a simple perl program complain that files on the nfs server cannot be locked. I am aware that there has been work on the nfs locking code in current, and have a vague recollection of a workaround

Hey Guys, Have any of y''all seen a condition where the ILOM considers a disk faulted (status is 3 instead of 1), but ZFS keeps writing to the disk and doesn''t report any errors? I''m going to do a scrub tomorrow and see what comes back. I''m curious what caused the ILOM to fault the disk. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Jason P.S. The system is

I''ve got a Thumper running snv_57 and a large ZFS pool. I recently noticed a drive throwing some read errors, so I did the right thing and zfs replaced it with a spare. Everything went well, but the resilvering process seems to be taking an eternity: # zpool status pool: bigpool state: ONLINE status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was

Hi all, I have setup a CentOS6.3 x86_64 host to act as a nfs server. According to RHEL6 docs, portmap is not needed when you use NFSv4, but in my host I need to start rpcbind service to make NFSv4 works. My /etc/sysconfig/nfs # # Define which protocol versions mountd # will advertise. The values are "no" or "yes" # with yes being the default MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"

Hi Sorry for banal question How to create empty data frame with for example 30 variables without typying: data.frame(x=1,y=1....) Jarek

Running the nightly from two days ago.

Hello, is dotlock supposed to work with NFS? I noticed that the default-locking method causes problems even with nfslockd started. Regards Marten

I''ve recently upgraded my x4500 to Nevada build 97, and am having problems with the iscsi target. Background: this box is used to serve NFS underlying a VMware ESX environment (zfs filesystem-type datasets) and presents iSCSI targets (zfs zvol datasets) for a Windows host and to act as zoneroots for Solaris 10 hosts. For optimal random-read performance, I''ve configured a single

I have a function like this: changedir <- function(dataframe) { dir <- dataframe$dir gc_content <- dataframe$gc_content d <- ifelse(dir == "-", gc_content <- -gc_content,gc_content <- gc_content) return(d) } The goal of this function is to be able to input a data frame like this: > lala dir gc_content 1 + 0.5 2 - 0.5 3 +

Hello all, I know that this is a terribly banal question but I cannot seem to solve it. I am trying to load in data from a tab-delimited text file. Some columns are mixed text-numbers and other columns are strictly numbers. Some cells are blank.
