[OpenIndiana-discuss] intermittent CIFS loss, spontaneous-reboot with OI148/151a and IBM Megaraid M5015?
We've a number of IBM 3630M3 servers, equipped with BBU M5014/5015s, running as CIFS server, with a mixture of OI148 and OI151a. Nothing fancy (no dedup, no compression), just a pool of mirrored disks aka RAID10, with CIFS access authenticated via MS AD. Intermittently, CIFS/SMB will go down, sometimes this can be restored via restarting the smb service (enable -r smb/server), other times it necessitates a server reset (svcs | grep smb shows that smb/server has an * next to it). And one of the servers (always the same, so far...) will intermittently reboot (more frequently than the SMB service going down). Sometimes in the middle of the day, sometimes in the evening (once it was around 6pm). This particular server will reboot and come back up without much delay, and the pool and zfs shares come back online fine. I'm not sure if these events, the CIFS/SMB service going down, and the intermittent server reboot are related, and I'm not sure if its also related to the mr_sas/mpt bug (https://www.illumos.org/issues/618 and https://www.illumos.org/issues/1069), as the M501[45] are just LSI controllers, using SUNWmrsas. Anybody have any suggestions about how to investigate this further, or if this is indeed the behaviour associated with the aforementioned mr_sas/mpt bugs? Thanks...

If you do svcs -xv, it should show references to log files for the services that are in trouble. For smb/server, I'd expect that to be /var/svc/log/network-smb-server:default.log. Examining that file would be a good first step here. Also, it's common for services to log via syslog. /var/adm/messages might be a good place to start there.

Spontaneous reboot has to be either a kernel panic or a hardware problem. dumpadm should tell you where the kernel dumps are going -- the savecore directory; usually /var/crash. Look for files there. Running mdb on the files and using ::status and ::stack commands might give a good enough signature that someone could identify the cause.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Slow NFS with OI151a host and VirtualBox VM's
I am running an OpenIndiana 151a host that shares files via NFS to my local VirtualBox VM's. It seems to max out around 1MB/s. This is killing the performance of compiles, etc. But due to the amount of source and the lack of disk space on my laptop, it is not realistic to have redundant copies of my source and builds in each VM. The VM's are configured with 2 NIC's. One is NAT'd for Internet access and the other is host-only so that they can communicate between themselves. I am using an entry in the VM's /etc/hosts to automount NFS via the host-only interface and the performance is horrible. After googling, I know there is an issue with network contention when running bridged-mode with VirtualBox VM's and NFS on the same interface and this can be worked around given two NIC's. But, that doesn't seem to be exactly the same as my problem nor does it provide workable solutions for my situation. If anyone has any ideas or a suggestion of a better forum for this question I am open to input.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] GPU driver issues in OpenIndiana 151a and a noisy GPU fan
I'm using an ATI Radeon Juniper card (HD5770) and I reported a little over a year ago that the screen went black as Xorg starts when using the radeon driver on OI 148. The solution was to ditch the radeon driver and use the VESA driver in its stead. Now, when I made a new install of 151a, I used an older monitor (analogue VGA) and the situation looks different. After the install I have a picture in the old monitor when I boot into the system and access to Gnome but when I switch to the new monitor (HDMI) the screen is black like it was a year ago. When I boot with both monitors connected they both are black but when I unplug the new monitor and boot with only the old one, the picture comes back. So the conclusion is that it seems that the radeon driver actually works with 5770 but there are some issues to be cleared out, hopefully only configuration issues. Any clues on how to resolve this would be great. When I boot into the OpenIndiana, the GPU fan slowly ramps up the speed up to max within a few minutes (think slow crescendo but with loud noise instead of music). When I boot into Windows, the fan does not behave that way. What I have found out is that the fan/temperature profile is in the BIOS of the graphics adapter but it needs to be activated by the driver of the operating system, probably a bit flag somewhere that needs to be flipped. Catalyst (CCC) for Linux should take care of this but this is OpenIndiana. So is there a way to make the driver in OpenIndiana activate this fan control as it is quite annoying with having a fan running at full speed while the GPU is only consuming 30W of power (yes, I have measured it with a multimeter)?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Solaris 11 11/11 Opensource part1 and part2
There's very little overlap between those sources and illumos, as only a few bits of the ON consolidation are included (things like grub that are GPL licensed for instance). OpenIndiana already includes most of that code and mirrors it on their servers - it's too late to worry about that, and since this is the code covered by Open Source licenses, I don't know why you'd worry about tainting your open source distro that's already covered by those licenses. (Perhaps you were thinking of something other than the Oracle-released open source bits?)

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Solaris 11 11/11 Opensource part1 and part2
I take it that the once-promised/planned kernel source release for Solaris 11 is officially canceled... Frankly, this whole situation reminds me a bit of the situation with Borland's InterBase DBMS. First, it was released as open source and then new owners got cold feet and took it closed again. Since that point, the fork of the last open release (now known as Firebird) has continued strong, while the closed version has essentially sunk without a trace. Unless Oracle wises up, I forsee a similar outcome in Solaris-land.

I'd love to be able to deploy OI in production environments with the peace of mind that comes with commercial support, but so far, that's been pretty lacking (and NexentaStor isn't for me, I need a proper general purpose OS without all the weird storage GUIs and Nexenta's, frankly, somewhat specialized per-storage-volume licensing model). As much as I love Solaris, currently Oracle is the only game in town when it comes to acceptable support and compared to your average RHEL/CentOS, their pricing is just way out through the stratosphere...
