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 
(build snv_134) at my office to oi_151a. The OSOL box had 
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before, and the : in the names of the snapshots has been replaced by 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 
issues it shouldn't, and obviously isn't working on other oi-151a 
boxes...???


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

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Where is received filesystem

2011-10-31 Thread Attila Fülöp
Harry,

see below for comments.

On 10/31/11 12:25 AM, Harry Putnam wrote:
 I've been tinkering with send/receive trying to understand how it all
 works. 
 
 I've found what appears to my inexperienced eyes to be something of an
 anomaly.
 
 I successfully sent/received two filesystems:
 
   zp2/hosts
   zp2/hosts/reader 
 
 I think I made some changes in a certain script, and maybe more than 1
 since that move.
 
 So since the amount of data in zp2/hosts is nearly minuscule (5
 scripts), I decided to just send/receive zp2/hosts on the old server
 to zp2/hosts_old, then at my leisure, investigate the differences.
 
 Inadvertently, I forgot to take off the -R flag and so used this
 command:
 
zfs send -R zp2/hosts@111030_14:43:17_0 |
   ssh 192.168.1.101 zfs recv zp2/hosts_old
   Password:
 
 And received this warning:
   WARNING: could not send zp2/hosts/reader@111030_14:43:17_0
   exist cannot mount '/hosts': directory is not empty
 
 I don't understand either part of that warning.  I've already posted
 about the first part (reader@111030_14:43:17_0) so here just
 questioning the second part
 
 Why would `/hosts' need to be mounted? (I think it is about the
 receiving host.. right?)
 
 But what is really puzzling, is that newserver reports that data set
 to be present:
   zfs list -r zp2
 
   NAME   USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
   zp2   10.2G   193G31K  /zp2
   zp2/hosts 10.2G   193G   464K  /hosts
   zp2/hosts/reader  10.2G   193G  4.29G  /hosts/reader
   zp2/hosts_old  528K   193G   464K  /hosts

 So has the content of zp2/hosts been overwritten?

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:
 Recently, (about 2 months age) I had terribly experiences while testing a
 PCI and PCI-X cards that both used sil3124 chipsets.  It seems that the
 driver is in serious need of an update to work with these cards properly.
 You can create pools and file systems, but don't try to move any data larger
 than 1gig over to the pool, as the machine will kernel panic, and go into a
 state of constant reboots until you remove the card and/or the disks
 connected to it.

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.

Best Regards,

[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.
