I don't think it necessarily needs to be up, but it needs to be
plumbed in the global zone. You can do this automatically by just
having an empty file located at /etc/hostname.e1000g1, as long as you
are not using NWAM to do the network configuration.

Well, this is strange... because I recently upgraded an OSOL box

auto-snapshots enabled, and they continue working just fine.


It's a bit different now, I see a lot more "frequent" snapshots than 
before, and the ":" in the names of the snapshots has been replaced by 
a "_", but else everything is as before.


So why is this feature working on my box when according to "known

boxes...???


Not that I want to complain ;) - just curious...

No, if you look at the mountpoints you'll see that
zp2/hosts and zp2/hosts_old have the same mountpoint
property. Thats why zfs can't mount zp2/hosts_old
on /hosts

Use the -u flag to recv to avoid the warning. Use
'zfs set mountpoint=/hosts_old zp2/hosts_old' to change
the mountpoint after receiving. Than you'll find your
data under /hosts_old.

The convention in a static IP configuration is to associate your hostname
with the IP of the primary interface. So you put hostname in /etc/hostname.NIC
file and associate that name to the IP in /etc/hosts.
When using DHCP, that should supply a hostname. Otherwise /etc/nodename
is used. Check   man nodename

Moinak.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sil3124 on oi151a

2011-10-31 Thread Mark Humphreys
I'm seeing freezing issues doing 3-way mirrors across mainboard ICH10R (6
SATA 150/300 ports), and two SYBA SY-PEX-40008 cards (4 Port Internal SATA
II ports).

Is there an issue with the si3124 (Sil3124) driver in oi151a?  I noticed a
thread mentioning maybe something was broken from older versions of the
driver.  From http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openindiana.general/1323 :

On Tuesday, December 14, 2010 07:58 AM, Chris Mosetick wrote:

Oh, I wonder when they broke the driver then. It was okay for me ages
ago...I last used it on a box with an ON version before 2008.05 though.

Does anyone have any new insights into the si3124 driver?  Could the issue
be related to the fact that I am spanning my zpool across three different
controllers, as opposed to dedicating each zpool to a specific device?  Do
I need to down-grade the driver for greater stability?

Any insights as to where I could look to begin troubleshooting would be
greatly appreciated.  Especially as the system is freezing, where would I
setup and check for a system dump?  It would be nice to confirm it is
actually the storage system at fault.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] fault-tolerant distributed file systems

2011-10-31 Thread Geoff Nordli
I am looking for a fault-tolerant distributed file system to store
medium sized files (150MB-4GB) which can scale across 100s of servers
and keep N replicas of each file.

MooseFS looks interesting, but I don't like the single point of
failure of the master server.  The development on that project seems
to have stagnated a bit as well, though the forums are active.  It
does to replication logs to other servers, but I need to build an HA
active/passive cluster.  It seems there isn't anything on OI right now
that can do clustering.

GlusterFS does not have an OI client (just server support).

What else are people using?

thanks,

Geoff

You say you need a file system, does that have to be a POSIX
compatible file system (ie. mountable) or do you just need to store
some files?
If you just need to store some files, you could have a look at Hadoop
or more specifically HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), which
consists of java daemons which can synchronize files around for you
and manage all the redundancy. Libraries exists for all kinds of
languages to hook into the system, so there should be something which
could fit into your needs.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OCZ Deneva MLC SSD for ZIL

2011-10-31 Thread Ivar Janmaat

Hello Jason,

The idea is that MLC SSD isn't advised for ZIL.
SLC is a lot better because it can withstand writing to the diks 10x 
beter than MLC SSDs.

The best solution however is a DRAM ZIL.
It has better sustained iops and will be much durable.
