It worked. Undeadly host their site on it, the only issue at the time was the second Ethernet port wasn't supported. I don't know if that changed or not. Search the archive on it, there is information there including dmesg as well.

I have been using a couple of the X2100's in testing environments for a few weeks, they run 3.9 well. In 3.8 the second NIC was not usable.

Out of curiosity what was the issue? I would assume they are both the same hardware type, no? -- U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote - Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror - New York Times 9/3/1967
Re: Sun X2100
Look at: http://www.armorlogic.com/openbsd_information_server_compatibility_list.html?action=detail&id=x2100 The only *real* issue left is the nvidia network card puking under major load, but that might have been solved by the last commit (past 3.9-STABLE) by [EMAIL PROTECTED] I haven't got my hands on this box again to test though.

Although it's not directly OpenBSD related, you'll probably want to flash the BIOS with the latest version, as Sun still seem to be shipping machines with the comically broken first version of the BIOS. Just to give you an idea of how bad it is: USB keyboards don't work reliably (and this is a machine without a PS/2 slot don't forget), and at least one BIOS screen says something like "press Shift-F1" but misses the "f" in "shift". Quality control were probably having an off day. Mercifully the BIOS update you can get from SUN is installable in an OS independent fashion, and after that the machine (and OpenBSD) seem to run fine.

nfe driver and Sun X2100
Has anyone gotten teh nfe port on a Sun 2100 to work on 19M? I have one of these, that I am setting up as a firewall between 2 legacy networks, both of which are 10M, and when I plug that port into the 10M hub, I get continuing kernel error messages. I'm considering locking it down, to se if that works, but have not tried that yet. -- U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote - Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror - New York Times 9/3/1967
hardware: Sun x2100 test results
For those interested, here are the preliminary results of my Sun x2100 tests. More hardware tests results available at http://www.armorlogic.com/oscl/ Issues with Sun X2100 running OpenBSD/amd64 (-current from 22/02/2006) 1) possible bsd.mp issues due to misconfigured apic's ioapic0 at mainbus0 apid 2: pa 0x83738f24, version 11, 24 pins ioapic0: misconfigured as apic 0 ioapic0: remapped to apic 2 2) nfe(4) shows a constant 100/interrupts a seconds without having a link; only configured with ifconfig nfe0 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0; it also has the same interrupt rate when configured normally 3) nfe(4) stops responding during stress-testing with netperf (transmitter box, Dell SC1425, dual em/gigabit) (receiver box, Sun X2100, nfe/gigabit) (both connected to a Dell PowerConnect 2708 gigabit switch) # netperf -H 192.168.0.60 -l 300 -- -s 64K -m 64K -M 64K -S 64K TCP STREAM TEST to 192.168.0.60 Recv SendSend Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size SizeSize Time Throughput bytes bytes bytessecs.10^6bits/sec 65536 65536 65536298.96940.67 (transmitter: 8K/interrupts seconds on em0, 0% system idle) (receiver: 83K/interrupts seconds on nfe0, 0% system idle) All fine. Stress test runs for 300 seconds without a problem. Now, we try the same test, but we increase the remote socket (nfe0) send/recv buffer size to 128K. # netperf -H 192.168.0.60 -l 60 -- -s 128K -m 64K -M 64K -S 128K (transmitter: 8K/interrupts seconds on em9, 0% system idle) (receiver: 100K/interrupts seconds on nfe0, 0% system idle) nfe0 will stop responding after few seconds; tcpdump shows nothing; ifconfig down/up doesn't help; only a reboot does. 4) nviic(4) is probed/found, but provides no values to sensors(4) framework.

Sun X2100 on board RAID support?
I've got a bunch of Sun 2100 machines. Nice machine that i plan on doing a number of things with. I'd prefer to use OpenBSD on them for firewalls, and other network related tasks. I've got 2 x 250G drives in these machines, and want to mirror them. Under FreeBSD the built in RAID controller (OK semi-software RAID) works, but apparently it does not under OpenBSD. Is this correct? or am I missing something? If it's not supported, are there plans to add support for it? BTW, It's the 3.9 64 bit install set I'm trying to install. If I turn off RAID in the firmware, everything works fine. If I enable it the disks are not detected at all. -- Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.

Indeed. Just tried with if_nfe.c (r1.47). 0 interrupts/seconds without activity. Also, under the stress test, "systat vmstat" shows around 55% system idle (r1.47). Previously, it was 0% (r1.45). > > 3) nfe(4) stops responding during stress-testing with netperf > > This also possibly. Still happens. Settings the receiver (nfe0) socket buffer size to 256K rendered x2100/nfe0 useless. Still, only a reboot helps. This happened before (r.1.45) with socket buffer of 128K; now, it's just pushed a bit further.
Sun X2100 M2 ELOM and OpenBSD?
Has anyone gotten this system set up so you can use three NICs and connect to the Service Processor on the fourth? I got console redirected to the SP easily enough, and have tried disabling and cloning bge* via config(8) so it only binds to one of the bge ports as opposed to both of them. The interface I add (bge0) comes up, can be configured, upped and downed, but it it seems to be hosed: bge0 at pci6 dev 4 function 0 "Broadcom BCM5715" rev 0xa3, BCM5715 A3 (0x9003): apic 2 int 15 (irq 15), address 00:16:36:88:46:6e OUI 0x000818 model 0x0034 rev 0 at bge0 phy 1 not configured bge0: no PHY found!

Current AMD64 DMESG on Sun X2100 M2
Hi all, Just for the records and for the interested in case you were looking at the new Sun X2100 M2. Here is the DMESG for it as of Sun Oct 22 22:42:18 MDT 2006. A few more devices are present in the current version oppose to the 4.0 release version.

The core problem ELOM had initially is it defaulted to stupid port speeds, and was bound to ttyb instead of ttya. ILOM/ELOM speed has been unified for a while now, thankfully. Initial runs were pretty broken, though. The ttya/ttyb divergence between X2100 and X4xxxs is still true, and can't (afaik) be changed on the 2100s.

Sun x2100 M2 DMESG weirdenn and remote access. OpenBSD 4.0
Hi, I loaded 4.0 into a nice new Sun x2100 M2 and looks like it's working pretty well so far anyway. But I see a few weird things in the dmesg, like the dual core cpu display one core at 1.8GHz and the other at 2.4 sometime? Some device show not configure, but looks like they work. Compare both dmesg below for the cpu speed for example. Rebooting it looks like give different result. Different in setip was in one instance a MAC USB keyboard was connected to the USB port to do the setup and local access. Also, is there a way or trick to get the remote management port, or even the local serial port to continue working as usual to manage the box remotely. It work,s but as soon as the setup for OpenBSD start to boot the bsd.rd, the access to both the ethernet management port as well as the serial console is lost and the only way is to use local keyboard and monitor. Is there a trick, or is that normal? Also, after the system is fully working, would, is there anyway to actually have this working, so some setup that I can't figure out, or is that just normal? That's a pretty nice box so far. I am testing it good as I need a good amount of them and I was wondering to either get the x2100, or the x2100 M2. The M2 does have dual core, so that's very nice and the difference is price is not that bad and support serial ATA as well and the full management port, that may not be working in the end anyway, but not the end of the world. Look like the M2 is a much beter choice. Idea feedback on this, or am I wrong thinking that way? Thanks for the feedback.

Usually BIOS serial redirection stops after the bootloader, so you have to 'set tty com0' (either typed or, if you're booting from PXE you can place it in $TFTPROOT/etc/boot.conf) The ethernet management is probably asf/ipmi and I guess it would be on one of the broadcom nics, bge(4) doesn't support this at present (was added for a short while but removed again, if_bge.c 1.104-1.106) 4 ethernet, 2 card slots, LOM improvements... sounds like it's a lot more useful machine.

The choice are in the BIOS to enable it. I didn't buy two drives as it was for testing only, so I can't say if it would work or not for sure, or if it would be supported in OpenBSD or not. No clue. If there is feedback as to it should be supported, not only in Windows, and some are interested to know if it does or not, I could buy an other drive and try it. Not that I will need two drives for what this baby will be use in. Best, Daniel

In v65x it was a u320 aic79xx, Adaptec only provides Windows drivers for it, and is not so willing to share with the microcode needed to support built-in RAID. Someone also mentioned that enabling these kind of RAIDs is of little use, since they put almost the same strain on the CPU, making it run controller's microcode. Why Sun picks that kinda hardware for it's servers, is another kinda question But the controller manufacturers play evil here... Thanks, Pawel.

Well, I just found about a half-dozen of these machines in the back room... It's not easy to get to, but the RAID controller is an NVidia nf4-ultra-n-a3; I didn't see any sort of EEPROM or SRAM chip to hold metadata. From what I've heard, there are only Windows drivers available. -Damian

Windows drivers only. I have heard rumors that a recent build of OpenSolaris includes driver support though. -Damian

Unfortunately, our Sun AMD64 boxes were slated for Windows installations, so they only ran Solaris (pre- installed) for a short while. I had little time to play with them before our Windows admin setup the LSI RAID controllers via BIOS and wiped the disks. If it helps, the e1000g driver was released in Solaris Update 2 (U2) 06/06 I believe and is documented here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5177/6mbbc4g54?a=view and the following page lists Solaris 32-bit and 64-bit support: http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x2100/os.jsp -Mike
