The masters run on the 910s and the slaves run against two nds-2441 disk shelves that they share with a sister system. Each system gets 1/2 of each shelf, configured as mirrors. So twelve sets of mirrors of 15k rpm drives for each system. The systems were initially deployed with the x1 as slog for the spinning rust. Over time, the spinning rust was over run by i/o - the latency just got to high. Postgres now does in excess of 1M inserts/hour/zone and is limited by the software used to feed postgres the data. The 910s were added and the masters were migrated to the 910s. The slaves stayed on the shelves. The 910s are now running out of space and I will be moving to a mirrored dcs3700 setup as soon as i can complete a data center expansion. Basically, I am a efficient (cheap?) bastard and cram the most into a system I can. The power whips all run exactly at 80% - nothing goes to waste ;-) > Anyway, my thought is that you're over power, or so close to the limit of the > specification that peak loads are killing you. I guess it is possible. The power budget section of the motherboard technical spec would lead one to a different conclusion. i have support contracts on the gear in Ashburn. i will open a case on one of those and see if i can get a determination from Intel. thanks, j. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

X1 draw is about 10w max 9205-8e is about 15w max 9211-8i is about 15w max 910 is about about 25w max that puts me at 65w max for my add ons. relative to some video cards that doesn't seem like much and that is probably the max for low end consumer boards. however, i can't find any specifications for how much power can be delivered through the pci-e bus for s5520ur m/b. it is not exactly a cheap consumer piece of crap, the thing is really well made. there are however published specs for total power consumption per voltage rail which seems to indicate would be plenty of power available. The power draw for the whole server (less the external disk shelves) is sub 255w (or 14-16% per p/s for the inventory) and the thermal margins on all the sensors are excellent. what do you think? i don't have a good grasp of what typical draw is on a server board in these cases. maybe i can engage intel. j. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
[OpenIndiana-discuss] aide IDS and hipster
The recent update of hipster broke aide IDS (which I compile locally) which crashed while processing. It looked like it was a problem in libmhash.so.2 but after a bunch of fruitless efforts to track down the problem (the traceback stack was always partially corrupted) I wasn't so sure. Bottom line is that I got it working by adding -std=c99 to the gcc 4.7 CFLAGS. I tried this by shear dumb luck because I was also trying to compile an alternative which needed this option. This not only produced a working version, but the executable size is 17% smaller as well. The whole thing is bizarre but I figure I'd pass it along.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Forgot Zone Root Password, Redirect X inside Zone, Reinstall Zone
Thank You all for the Help ( Regarding Root Zone Password ) !!! To Conclude : - If you messed up with root password, but haven't emptied the content of password field in /etc/shadow, then : zlogin Will let you login to your zone and from there you can 'passwd' to change the root password can solve your problem. Courtesy of Saso Kiselkov - If you have emptied the content of the root password field in /etc/shadow in your zone, then write down anything on the password field, and do the first solution Courtesy of Saso Kiselkov - Another solution, set a new root password from the global zone: chroot /mypool/root/etc/shadow passwd root Courtesy of Saso Kiselkov - Copy pasting the content of user password obtained from a known source ( from global zone ), from /etc/shadow, into zone's /etc/shadow is also one working solution Courtesy of Stefan Müller-Wilken - Yet another idea - try 'zlogin -S zonename' to login as a system account, bypassing normal account checks and shell init. When you get into the zone, run 'passwd' to change the root password. Courtesy of Jim Klimov Thanks Pal, you rocks ! Now only left with having X forwarded to another host, or to global zone.

I have to log in as root in order to run zlogin and I can't run : zlogin -l root the reply was : Login incorrect So the only option is to run : zlogin -C But since I removed the password field of user root on /mypool/root/etc/shadow into : root::6445:: when I login to the zone, it says : pam_authtok_get: login: empty password not allowed for root from localhost I wonder why anybody else can zlogin as root with the password taken out, while I can't Regards, Hans ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
