[zfs-discuss] Opteron 6100? Does it work with opensolaris?
I was looking at building a new ZFS based server for my media files and i was wondering if this cpu was supported...i googled and i coudlnt'' find much info about it. I''m specificially looking at this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182230 I''d hate to buy it and find out it doesn''t work. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I agree on the motherboard and peripheral chipset issue. This, and the last generation AMD quad/six core motherboards all seem to use the AMD SP56x0/SP5100 chipset, which I can''t find much information about support on for either OpenSolaris or FreeBSD. Another issue is the LSI SAS2008 chipset for SAS controller which is frequently offered as an onboard option for many motherboards as well and still seems to be somewhat of a work in progress in regards to being ''production ready''.

This is how i understand it. I know the network cards are well supported and i know my storage cards are supported....the onboard sata may work and it may not. If it does, great, i''ll use it for booting, if not, this board has 2 onboard bootable USB sticks....luckily usb seems to work regardless On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 1:18 AM, Geoff Nordli <geoffn at gnaa.net> wrote:> > > On Behalf Of James C.

The problem is the Solaris team and lsi have put a lot of work into the new 2008 cards. Claiming there are issues without listing specific bugs they can address is, I''m sure, frustrating to say the least.

I should have worded my reply differently instead of posting my perception, but I really didn''t think I would get piled on for it. This subject interests me because we are going to have customers deploy OpenSolaris on their own equipment and I have been concerned about compatibility. Is the MOBO/Chipset/CPU actually something to be worried about with OpenSolaris compatibility? I know this is not an all-encompassing list, but I got my hardware info from the Nexenta site (http://www.nexenta.com/corp/supported-hardware/hardware-supported-list) because that is the distro I started with. Have a great day! Geoff

FAIR STATEMENT: Linux shares most of these problems except over there bnx is open source. USUAL OPTIMISM: crossbow-supported cards with L4 classifiers in the MAC other than bnx, such as 10gig ones, may be the future, much more performant, ready for CoS pause frames, and good multicore performance, and having source. god willing their quality might turn out to be more uniform but probably nobody knows yet, and they''re not cheap and ubiquitous onboard yet. I''m hoping infiniband comes back and 10gig goes away, but that''s probably not realistic. WELL POISONING: saying ``if you want open-source drivers go whine at the hardware vendor because they make us sign an NDA, so there''s nothing we can do,'''' is hogwash. (a) Sun''s the one able to realistically bargain with the vendor, not users, because they bring to the table developer hours, OS support, a class of customers, trusting contacts within the vendor, and a hardware manufacturing arm that can make purchasing decisions long-term and at a motherboard component level; no user has anywhere near this insane level of bargaining power; see OpenBSD presentation and ``the OEM problem'''', (b) usually only one chip works anyway, so there is no competition, (c) Linux has open source drivers for all these chips and is an existence proof that yes, you can do something about it, and (d) the competition for users is between Solaris and Linux, not between Marvell and LSI. If we want complete source for the OS we will get it faster and more reliably by going to the OS that offers it, not by whining to chip vendors. This is not flamebait but just obvious reality---so obvious that almost everyone who really cares enough to say it is already gone.

So far, there''s been a bunch of FUD cast on a driver that I worked on (mpt_sas), and I''m still trying to find out from you and others what you think is a problem with it. James C.

I''ve gotten a couple of the newest prototype AMD systems, with the C34 and G34 sockets. All have run various flavors of OpenSolaris quite well, with the exception of a couple of flaky network problems, which we''ve tracked down to pre-production NIC hardware and early-access drivers. This is a similar problem I see all the time on prototype Intel stuff. The problems go away when we put in production-ready NIC cards (even when such NIC cards have the same actual chip series, the bugs inevitably are nailed to the beta-level original NIC chips). So I would NOT expect any problems if your MB passes the Device Check tool (or whatever we''re calling it nowadays). -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800)

Well i just wanted to let everyone know that preliminary results are good. The livecd booted, all important things seem to be recognized. It sees all 16 gb of ram i installed and all 8 cores of my opteron 6128 The only real shocker is how loud the norco RPC-4220 fans are (i have another machine with a norco 4020 case so i assumed the fans would be similar.....this was a BAD assumption) This thing sounds like a hair dryer Anyways, I''m running the install now so we''ll see how that goes. It did take about 10 minutes to "find a disk" durring the installer, but if i remember right, this happened on other machines as well.

[zfs-discuss] Opteron 6100? Does it work with opensolaris?
well, i haven''t had a lot of time to work with this...but i''m having trouble getting the onboard sata to work in anything but NATIVE IDE mode. I''m not sure exactly what the problem is....i''m wondering if i bought the wrong cable (i have a norco 4220 case so the drives connect via a sas sff-8087 on the backpane) I thought this required a "reverse breakout cable" but maybe i was wrong....this is the first time i''ve worked with sas on the otherhand, I was able to flash my intel Intel SASUC8I cards with the LSI SAS3081E IT firmware from the LSI site. These seem to work fine. I think i''m just going to order a 3rd card and put it in the pci-e x4 slot. I don''t want 16 drives running as sata and 4 running in IDE mode. Is there any way i can tell if the drive i installed opensolaris to is in IDE or SATA mode? On Thu, May 13, 2010 at 4:43 AM, Orvar Korvar < knatte_fnatte_tjatte at yahoo.com> wrote:> Great!

Take as many pieces out of the mix to see what helps. Is the backplane just a backplane, or a SAS expander? Norco has a "Discrete SATA to SFF-8087 Mini SAS Reverse breakout cable" listed on the 4220 page, so you''ve probably got the right thing. -B -- Brandon High : bhigh at freaks.com

hey, when i do this single user boot, is there anyway to capture what pops on the screen? It''s a LOT of stuff. anyways, it seems to work fine when i do singleuser -srv cpustat -h lists exactly what you said it should plus a lot more (though the "more" is above, so like you said, it shows what it should show at the bottom) I''ll capture all that later and post it.

[zfs-discuss] Opteron 6100? Does it work with opensolaris?
no.....it doesn''t. The only sata ports that show up are the ones connected to the backpane via the reverse breakout sas cable....and they show as empty....so i''m thinking that opensolaris isn''t working with the chipset sata..... In the bios i can select from: Native IDE AMD_AHCI RAID Legacy IDE I have it set to AMD_AHCI....but my board also has an IDE slot which i was using for the CDROM drive (this is what i used to load opensolaris in the first place....) I also have an option called "Sate IDE combined mode" I think this may be my problem...i had this enabled, because i thought i needed it in order to use both sata and ide....i think now it''s something else. I''m going to try to boot without it on, if it doesn''t work, i''ll try to reinstall with it disabled.

[zfs-discuss] Opteron 6100? Does it work with opensolaris?
ok, well this was part of the problem. I disabled the Sata IDE combined mode and reinstalled opensolaris (i tried to just disable it but osol wouldn''t boot) now the drive connected to the SSD DOES show up in cfgadm so it seems to be in sata mode...but the drives connected to the reverse breakout cable still don''t show up. On the bright side, the drives connected to my SAS cards (through the same backpane, with a standard sff-8087 to sff-8087 cable) DO show up. SOOOO, now i just need to figure out why these 4 drives aren''t showing up. (my case is the norco RPC-4220, i thought i''d be ok with 2 SAS cards (8 sata ports each) and then 4 of the onboard ports using the reverse breakout cable.....something must be wrong with the cable....i''ll test the 2 drives connected directly in a bit....i have to take everything appart to do that) On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 4:04 PM, Brandon High <bhigh at freaks.com> wrote:> On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 12:51 PM, Thomas Burgess <wonslung at gmail.com> > wrote: > > In the bios i can select from: > > Native IDE > > AMD_AHCI > > This is probably what you want.

[zfs-discuss] Opteron 6100? Does it work with opensolaris?
Something i''ve been meaning to ask.... I''m transfering some data from my older server to my newer one. the older server has a socket 775 intel Q9550 8 gb ddr2 800 20 1TB drives in raidz2 (3 vdevs, 2 with 7 drives one with 6) connected to 3 AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards spread as evenly across them as i could The new server is socket g34 based with the opteron 6128 8 core cpu with 16 gb ddr3 1333 ECC ram with 10 2TB drives (so far) in a single raidz2 vdev connected to 3 LSI SAS3081E-R cards (flashed with IT firmware) I''m sure this is due to something i don''t understand, but durring zfs send/recv from the old server to the new server (3 send/recv streams) I''m noticing the loadavg on the old server is muuuuuch less than the new one.... this is form top on the old server: load averages: 1.58, 1.57, 1.37; up 5+05:13:17 04:52:42 and this is the newer server load averages: 6.20, 5.98, 5.30; up 1+05:03:02 18:49:57 shouldn''t the newer server have LESS load? Please forgive my ubernoobness. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Load average is really how many process are waiting to run, so it''s not always a useful metric. If there are processes waiting on disk, you can have high load with almost no cpu use. Check the iowait with iostat or top. You''ve got a pretty wide stripe, which isn''t going to give the best performance, especially for random write workloads. Your old 3 vdev config will have better random write performance. Check to see what''s using the CPU with top or prstat. prstat gives better info for threads, imo. -B -- Brandon High : bhigh at freaks.com

[zfs-discuss] Opteron 6100? Does it work with opensolaris?
yeah, i''m aware of the performance aspects. I use these servers as mostly hd video servers for my house...they don''t need to perform amazingly. I originally went with the setup on the old server because of everything i had read about performance with wide stripes...in all honesty it performed amazingly well, much more than i truly need...i plan to have 2 raidz2 stripes of 10 drives in this server (new one). At most it will be serving 4-5 HD streams (mostly 720p mkv files, with some 1080p as well) The older server can EASILY max out 2 Gb/s links..i imagine the new server will be able to do this as well...i think a scrub of the old server takes 4-5 hours.....i''m not sure what this equates to in MB/s but its WAY more than i ever really need. This is what led me to use wider stripes in the new server, and i''m honestly considering redoing the old server as well, if i switched to 2 wider stripes instead of 3 i''d gain another TB or two....for my use i don''t think that would be a horrible thing.

I can''t tell you for sure.... For some reason the server lost power and it''s taking forever to come back up. (i''m really not sure what happened....) anyways, this leads me to my next couple questions: Is there any way to "resume" a zfs send/recv Why is it taking so long for the server to come up? it''s stuck on "Reading ZFS config" and there is a FLURRY of hard drive lights blinking (all 10 in sync ) On Sat, May 22, 2010 at 12:26 AM, Brandon High <bhigh at freaks.com> wrote:> On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 7:57 PM, Thomas Burgess <wonslung at gmail.com> > wrote: > > is 3 zfs recv''s random? > > It might be.

well it wasn''t. it was running pretty slow. i had one "really big" filesystem....with rsync i''m able to do multiple streams and it''s moving much faster On Sat, May 22, 2010 at 1:45 AM, Ian Collins <ian at ianshome.com> wrote:> On 05/22/10 05:22 PM, Thomas Burgess wrote: > >> yah, it seems that rsync is faster for what i need anyways....at least >> right now... >> >> ZFS send/receive should run at wire speed for a Gig-E link. > > Ian. > >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You can "resume" a send if the destination has a snapshot in common with the source. If you don''t, there''s nothing you can do. It probably taking a while to restart because the sends that were interrupted need to be rolled back. Sent from my Nexus One.

yah, unfortunately this is the first send. i''m trying to send 9 TB of data. It really sucks because i was at 6 TB when it lost power....

i only care about the most recent snapshot, as this is a growing video collection. i do have snapshots, but i only keep them for when/if i accidently delete something, or rename something wrong.
