xVM Ready for serious use ?
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

Two zvol devices one volume?
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

Dedicated server running ESXi with no RAID card, ZFS for storage?
Morning all... I have a Dedicated server in a data center in Germany, and it has 2 3TB drives, but only software RAID. I have got them to install VMWare ESXi and so far everything is going ok...

Xen Store error : out of memory
Hi, I''m running snv84 on a SunFire x2200M2, 2 dualcore opterons, 8GB ram, 2 mirror sata disks (zfs). I tried to install both Ubuntu 7.1 Desktop and Fedora 8 into a HVM domU but failed everytime. The VNC-Server for the domU dies, but the domain still consumes CPU time, disks go idle after a while (zpool iostat or iostat show zero I/O). The domUs booted up fine, the installer started,

xvm + zones = panic (?)
i''m crossposting from the opensolaris help forum: i''ve just migrated some zones to newer hardware running b94, and find that after a while working with an hvm in xvm, the machine hangs/panics. if i leave xvm stuff alone, the machine is perfectly reliable. it''s x64, intel chipset/procs anybody else having these troubles - zones and xvm together causing hangs/panics?

Solaris 10 HVM on Intel VT?
Can I run 8/07 fully virtualised on an Intel VT CPU (with a Linux Dom0)? I gave up on 11/06 because of real mode problems. If not, does anyone have an estimate of when this might be possible, if at all? Thanks - Evan

Xen dom0 and ZFS boot?
Some background - I have a couple of NetBSD (i386) boxes and CentOS 5 boxes that I want to virtualise and I''m trying to work out which OS will be most suitable as the dom0. I have a desire to run at least RAID1 and ideally ZFS mirroring on the dom0 so I can have all the domU''s not have to worry about disk redundancy etc. My hardware : I have a brand new Intel E8200 core2duo and

dumpadm and using dumpfile on zfs?
Hi All, I''d like to set up dumping to a file. This file is on a mirrored pool using zfs. It seems that the dump setup doesn''t work with zfs. This worked for both a standard UFS slice and a SVM mirror using zfs. Is there something that I''m doing wrong, or is this not yet supported on ZFS? Note this is Solaris 10 Update 3, but I don''t think that should

zfs list improvements?
To improve the performance of scripts that manipulate zfs snapshots and the zfs snapshot service in perticular there needs to be a way to list all the snapshots for a given object and only the snapshots for that object.

xvm no go
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
