Re: [osol-help] Importing a zones rpool?
Sorry, Its been about a year since I last had to mess with the Zones, so my memory is a little fuzzy on the original configuration. The root file systems for the zones should have been in the safe pool (tank) and not the lost one (the original Rpool). I don't seem to have the configs for the Zones as I believe those were in the Rpool. Heres the output of "zfs list -r" rpool 6.72G 22.6G 77.5K /rpool rpool/ROOT 3.64G 22.6G21K legacy rpool/ROOT/opensolaris 3.64G 22.6G 3.52G / rpool/dump 1.46G 22.6G 1.46G - rpool/export55.4M 22.6G23K /export rpool/export/home 55.3M 22.6G23K /export/home rpool/export/home/sam 55.3M 22.6G 55.3M /export/home/sam rpool/swap 1.56G 24.0G 112M - tank1.24T 1.44T24K /tank tank/serve 894G 1.44T23K /tank/serve <--Directory for the File Server tank/serve/ROOT 894G 1.44T19K legacy <--File servers Root (currently seems empty) tank/serve/ROOT/zbe 45.8M 1.44T 999M legacy tank/serve/ROOT/zbe-1894G 1.44T 822G legacy tank/torrents367G 1.44T 344G /tank/torrents <--The shared folder 'owned' by the global zone (this seems fine) tank/web2.52G 1.44T22K /tank/web tank/web/ROOT 2.52G 1.44T19K legacy <--Web servers root (also seems empty) tank/web/ROOT/zbe 2.52G 1.44T 2.46G legacy tank/weblx 4.18G 1.44T21K /tank/weblx Good news (I think) the problem directory still seem to be taking up the right amount of space. Also, not sure it matters but in "tank/serve/ROOT" and "tank/web/ROOT" root is not actully in all caps.

[osol-help] Importing a zones rpool?
History: I had a nice little home file server running OpenSolaris with ZFS. The server used 2 1.5TB drives for data and Compact Flash for the root drive. It was set up with one large Zpool dubbed tank with to separate zones for a file and web server. The directory tree looked something like this: /tank -/file server --/dev --/root -/web server --/dev --/root -/shared folder The Rpool for each zone was kept in the root of their respective directories with the global Rpool kept on the CF boot disk. Everything was happy and awesome. A few day's ago, something went wrong with the global Rpool disk (it seems everything except grub simply vanished). After a slight heart attack and possible mental break down, I went about trying to recover my data. I Installed OpenSolaris to VM on my windows machine with the 2 drives containing the Zpool hooked up and imported the pool. All seemed well. The Directory tree above is intact as well as the contents to the /shared folder. However, the directories containing the data form the Zones appear empty. The /dev and /root directories are there, but empty. Before I could always access the data there form the global zone as long as I had root access. The web stuff I can live without, But I had a ton of data on the File server that I need to recover. I guess basically the question is: Is there some way to import a Zones Rpool? kinda like how I just imported the global Zpool? Or do I proceed with the regularly scheduled mental breakdown for not backing up the Global Rpool?

[osol-help] Can't see hardware RAID array size
I'm trying to use the EON storage package to set up a NAS, but the issue is that I don't have a lot of experience with solaris. I'm trying to find out which disk to install it to: I have a hardware RAID array, one controller with mirrored SCSI drives, and another controller that has 14 SATA drives in a raid6 configuration. when I use the hd command, I see two drives, but it doesn't show the size, so I can't determine where to install the OS (obviously I want to install to the mirrored scsi drives). Any way I can tell which volume is which?

Re: [osol-help] nvidia ethernet (again....)
To add to the mystery, If I change the MAC it seems to work. At boot ifconfig nge0 reports: ether 8b:3d:7e:90:1e:0 If I run: ifconfig nge0 ether 8c:3d:7e:90:1e:0 then the network starts working, and I get all the expected traffic. It also won't let me set the MAC back to what it was at boot saying "DSLAP address in improper format or invalid" Rebooting breaks it again until the MAC is changed. I know nothing about MAC addresses and if somehow the one on this device is et to something invalid? Or if it's an error state? Is there a way for me to arrange for the MAC to be set to something that works before the network fails to come up?

[osol-help] nvidia ethernet (again....)
The nge0 device comes up ok, but I never manage to get any traffic on it. However, when I ping the machine from another machine on my LAN "arp -na" reports the correct MAC address for the other machine on each machine. If I run snoop then I see ICMP Echo Requests from the ping, but no replies and the other machine never gets a response. If I ping from the opensolaris machine I see Echo Requests being sent and Echo Replies from the other machine in the snoop output. But the ping never sees them and reports "no answer from ..." (eg:, snoop output: 192.168.1.116 -> 192.168.1.101 ICMP Echo request (ID: 825 sequence number: 19) 192.168.1.101 -> 192.168.1.116 ICMP Echo reply (ID: 825 sequence number 19) and ping reports: # ping 192.168.1.101 no answer from 192.168.1.101 tcpdump on the other end also sees both the responses and replies.) So it seems like the hardware is vaguely working, it does get the arp data correct, and snoop sees traffic, but ping doesn't work. Any ideas, what I'm doing wrong?

[osol-help] Creating 14+ disc media fileserver, suggestions for a noob to the OS?
Hi All, I stumbled on Solaris after talking to my CEO about the server I was setting up and his eyes got all big and he started going on about Solaris and ZFS. I'm experienced with Unix and Linux so I have some idea of what is going to go into this but I've already tried building my file server on Redhat, a couple custom fileserver distros and finally Windows Server 2003 (raid5) and wasn't happy with the performance of any of them. In the end I broke down and went to Frys and got a NAS enclosure :p So, Solaris, this post is essentially asking for any obvious suggestions or pointing out pitfalls I may be getting myself into, just a nudge in the right direction. Later I'm sure there will be more direct questions :) Here is the vision: -Solaris 10 running software RAID/ZFS2 managing 8 drives at first with room for expansion -I'm under the impression that ZFS2 is similar to RAID6. -Couple other smaller mount points on IDE -All it needs to do is serve files to a windows machine (SMB). The hardware: -I have a 4U rack case which I plan on jamming full of discs, a mini-ATX board (4xSATAII ports) and a PCIe 8x Raid card (8xSATAII ports). -Solaris will run on a 60GB IDE drive -I'm putting 8x500GB SataII drives on the Raid card as JBOD so Solaris can manage the discs in ZFS2 -Likely add 2x750GB SataII drives on the motherboard's sata ports shortly.
