Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Webmin problems on openindiana

Recently installed webmin package: FMRI: pkg:// openindiana.org/system/management/webmin@1.510,5.11-0.151.1:20110912T025048Z The pkg installer copies the webmin manifest to: /lib/svc/manifest/application/management An error in the installer results in it looking in the wrong place for the manifest, you can compensate for that: Import the manifest by saying: svccfg import /lib/svc/manifest/application/management/webmin.xml Enable by saying: svcadm enable webmin Also, the 'update' facility in webmin does not provide a 'start' script with the updated webmin files and there could be other changes in the OI package. This would be worth investigating if considering an update. -kim ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] What advantages of KVM over Vbox

For example, say you just want to run Windows on your OI desktop. Especially if you're using the VirtualBox GUI. One issue that VirtualBox has is that it doesn't respect disk synchronization. Cheers, GF Hi Geoff. You can force vbox to flush the disk properly. VBoxManage setextradata VM name VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#[x]/Config/IgnoreFlush 0 Thanks, that's good to know. I've sent an email to Phoronix since that's the only useful source of benchmarks I've found. We use VBox for development VMs on developers laptops under OS X. Unifying the deployment environment is very appealing to me since I wear the DevOps hat. Vbox has some nice features and is the core foundation for Oracle's VDI solution, which is built on top of Solaris. I don't know if I would use it for a heavy server workload (still determining this), but for regular server workloads, it has performed well for me. Vbox has a new crossbow network stack, but it only works on Solaris 11 builds = 159. I am not sure what it would take to make it work properly with OI, but that would be nice. This is my other concern with VBox. I won't be buying Solaris 11 anytime soon and I'm very doubtful VBox will get the proper love under Illumos. I've been playing around with SmartOS and I'm very impressed with KVM. I'd much rather pay Joyent support than Oracle should it come to that.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Problem with zone creation
I'm working with zones for the first time. I finally got to the point where I could create a zone, and I am at the step where I install it. Each time I have gotten to this point, it begins downloading packages, gets maybe half-way, and dies. The error is: Errors were encountered while attempting to retrieve package or file data for the requested operation. Details follow: http protocol error: code: 500 reason: Internal Server Error URL: ' http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/openindiana.org/file/1/10283476ec06bd1ad87b851e050b2b35c00ac78d '. ERROR: failed to install package Then I don't see a way I can continue (re-running the install command doesn't work - it says zone is incomplete, uninstall required), so I have to delete the zone and start all over again. Does anyone know a way I can either: 1. Restart the install process from where it died without having to start over creating the zone from scratch 2. Use a more reliable package repo (assuming that's what the problem is with the download) Thanks! -- Mark ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[OpenIndiana-discuss] adding SPICE to KVM
There has been some effort to expand the functionality of the KVM port. Does anyone know if adding SPICE functionality to KVM is a feature people are looking at? thanks, Geoff ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Problem with zone creation
OK, I'm sorry I didn't catch this before. I previously thought it was a random failure, but it seems it is dying at the point of trying to get package runtime/python-26 Is there any way around this? A different mirror gave me the save result unfortunately. Thanks again On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 4:52 PM, Mark Creamer white...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you. Pretty new with this, so I didn't realize I had additional package mirrors available. I should have looked into that possibility. The server is running oi_151a I'll try the different mirror(s) and see what happens.
