[OmniOS-discuss] nvme-device hangs after power-on - after soft-reboot all is okay
Hi, I have a problem with a NVMe-Device Samsung SM951 in a virtualized Illumos-environment. My default setup is a HP G8 Server (I have tried others) as ESXi6.02-Host and a newest OmniOS-bloody-VM. I´ve learned to setup the nvme from here: https://www.mail-archive.com/smartos-discuss@lists.smartos.org/msg02873.html. Also I have read this: https://www.illumos.org/issues/6908 and other informations on web. The progress of my installation you can read here (if you speak german) - please follow all posts of effemmess: http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f101/zfs-stammtisch-570052-272.html#post24644356 The problem in http://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/f101/zfs-stammtisch-570052-272.html#post24660135 is solved -it was a old updated vm, now I use an fresh installed vm... But previosly I thought, there is something with the powerstates of the nvme. Because of that I made these additions to /etc/vmware/passthru.map (info is from here: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsp_4_vmdirectpath_host.pdf: # Samsung NVMe 144d a801 d3d0 false 144d a802 d3d0 false These additions are active till now... The actual problem is, that after every cold-boot of the vm the nvme hangs. I test this by running the command "format". I cant see in any logs something interesting. Now I reset the vm via second ssh and the command "reboot -p". Now works the nvme very well for hours. As long as I only reboot the vm all is okay, but if I cold-boot the vm, the nvme hangs again. The whole process is reproducible. Gea says in hardwareluxx-forum, he has also problems with "format" with intel-NVMe. Btw, in all Windows-VMs the NVMe runs promptly after every cold-vm-start. Now I testet it in a freshly installed Openindiana-vm - full updated. Here I have a critical fault after every cold-boot and soft-boot. Also a "fmadm repaired dev:pci@0,0/pci15ad,7a0@15/pci144d,a801@0" doesn't help. In summary, the NVMe runs always very well on bar-metal and on Windows-vm's and after soft-boot also very well in OmniOS. Can anybody help?

[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS & Softlayer
I’m working on bringing up some new mission critical servers at hosting provider Softlayer and wondering if anyone out there also hosts at Softlayer using OmniOS and what they’ve used for disk HBA’s at Softlayer with OmniOS(just to make it more complicated I use napp-it all in one virtual machine setups). My understanding is the current Xeon v3 servers Softlayer is using LSI megaRAID 9361 cards in them and I’ve been unable to find much about running ZFS on the newer megaraid cards and I really don’t want to do some RAID 0 type of setup that I’ve used in the past. Softlayer is using Supermicro X10DRU-i+ MBs that have a bunch of SATA ports on them hung off the C612 chipset, I’m temped to tell them to use those ports, but I’d like to hear someone else’s experience with these since I now OmniOS doesn’t always play well with more modern kit. So far I’ve had great success with all in one setups in the past on Softlayers older generation of servers, but I’ve had to ship to Softlayer and convenience them to install the standard LSI HBA SAS controllers for me which has the downside that if a box goes down they can’t just spin me up a newer server in an hour or so since it requires me to buy and ship them a new disk controller. -Paul ___ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss

Riak and OmniOS should get along fine; it's just not a first class platform for Basho anymore. Anyone who had an interest in illumos-based operating systems left the company. They don't have the people to properly field support calls for it. If you run into issues I'm happy to provide consulting services. OmniTI should also have the knowledge to do the same. -Z ___ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
