similar to: CentOS 5.4 x86_64 domU start fails

Dear all, The below is my steps to setup RedHat/CentOS domU on OpenSolaris with ISO image.Although there are some guides to describe how to install Linux on domU,but their install media are from http or OpenSuSe image. I find there is some different from RedHat ISO image. 1) $pfexec svcadm enable svc:/network/nfs/client:default # I find the nfs client is disabled by default, this issue spent

Hi and hello, I have a problem confusing me. I hope someone can help me with it. I followed a "best practise" - I think - using dedicated zfs filesystems for my virtual machines. Commands (for completion): [i]zfs create rpool/vms[/i] [i]zfs create rpool/vms/vm1[/i] [i] zfs create -V 10G rpool/vms/vm1/vm1-dsk[/i] This command creates the file system [i]/rpool/vms/vm1/vm1-dsk[/i] and the

I apologize if this has been covered before. I have not seen a blow-by-blow installation guide for Ubuntu onto an iSCSI target. The install guides I have seen assume that you can make a target visible to all, which is a problem if you want multiple iSCSI installations on the same COMSTAR target. During install Ubuntu generates three random initiators and you have to deal with them to get things

Greetings, my Opensolaris 06/2009 installation on an Thinkpad x60 notebook is a little unstable. From the symptoms during installation it seems that there might be something with the ahci driver. No problem with the Opensolaris LiveCD system. Some weeks ago during copy of about 2 GB from a USB stick to the zfs filesystem, the system froze and afterwards refused to boot. Now when investigating

I''m running a ubuntu 9.04 64 bit dom0 with kernel 2.6.29.6 and xen 3.4.0. My eth0 is bridged to br0 and to my guest VMs. The dom0 is running a dhcp server on br0 which is able to provide leases to physical machines on eth0, and also to a windows xp domU which is bridged to br0. However my open solaris 2009.6 domU is unable to obtain a dhcp lease. On the opensolaris side I can see this:

Greetings, I have a problem that is baffling me. My host machine is an older Dual Xeon machine that does not support HVM - PAE is supported. I have 2008.11 b98 installed as Dom0. I''m trying to install the same as a DomU. In the DomU, I''m starting the ssh service, logging in with X forwarding and starting the gui with: (dom1) jack$ pfexec gui-install The gui displays on my

Hi all, I installed another OpenSolaris (snv_129) in VirtualBox 3.1.0 on Windows because snv_130 doesn''t boot anymore after installation of VirtualBox guest additions. Older builds before snv_129 were running fine too. I like some features of this OS, but now I end with something funny. I installed default snv_129, installed guest additions -> reboot, set

I believe ZFS is causing a panic whenever I attempt to mount an iso image (SXCR build 39) that happens to reside on a ZFS file system. The problem is 100% reproducible. I''m quite new to OpenSolaris, so I may be incorrect in saying it''s ZFS'' fault. Also, let me know if you need any additional information or debug output to help diagnose things. Config: [b]bash-3.00#

Hello, I am desperate. Today I realized that my OS 108 doesn''t want to boot. I have no idea what I screwed up. I upgraded on 108 last week without any problems. Here is where I''m stuck: Reading ZFS config: done. Mounting ZFS filesystems: (1/17) cannot mount ''/export'': directory is not empty (17/17) $ svcs -x svc:/system/filesystem/local:default (local file

I have a system that I''m trying to bring up with a mirrored rpool. I''m using DarkStar''s ZFS Root Mirror blog post as a guide (http://darkstar-solaris.blogspot.com/2008/09/zfs-root-mirror.html).

There seems to be a rash of posts lately where people are resetting or rebooting without getting any data, so I thought I''d post a quick overview on collecting crash dumps. If you think you''ve got a hang problem with ZFS and you want to gather data for someone to look at, then here are a few steps you should take. If you already know all about gathering crash dumps on

Hi, with a low soft limit on file descriptors, dovecot 2.2.15 warns on startup: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required under max. load (256 < 1000), because of default_client_limit It could try increasing the limit first, and only report the warning if that fails. I'm attaching a patch that does just this. Without the patch, the soft fd limit is kept at whatever it

I am running OpenSolaris build 134 on a T1000 (Sparc). It has been an uphill battle getting this far.
