Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [OmniOS-discuss] Shopping for an all-in-one server
I like what Ian said. although, 4U is a bit daunting. You can opt for 1U-2U, 1-2 processors. You can have a chassis with 8 drive bays. Fit for = 18TB of storage. From there you can get solid state HDs and regular drives of your choice. Simple controller that can handle them - and has a driver for it. Your HD vendor/OEM usually know that info on controller/HD compatibility. You can also go for a separate NAS storage unit. Point is there are a few options and custom servers or the cheap ones on eBay for $500 (i.e. Dell R710 or similar)... The HP N54L are well supported by the community. ~ Ken Mays On Monday, June 2, 2014 1:56 AM, Ian Collins i...@ianshome.com wrote: Jim Klimov wrote: Thus the box we'd build should be good with storage (including responsive read-write NFS) and VM hosting. I am not sure whether OI, OmniOS or ESX(i?) with HBA passthrough onto an illumos-based storage/infrastructure services VM would be a better fit. Also, I was away from shopping for new server gear for a while and its compatibility with illumos in particular, so I'd kindly ask for suggestions for a server like that ;) SmartOS would be a good fit if you are combining storage with KVM. USB booting also saves a couple of drive slots! The company's preference is to deal with HP, so while it is not an impenetrable barrier, buying whatever is available under that brand is much simpler for the department. Cost seems a much lesser constraint ;) HP's bundled RAID controllers can be a problem, make sure you can get something with IT firmware, or at least JBOD support. I am less certain about HBAs (IT mode, without HW-RAID crap), and the practically recommended redundancy (raidzN? raid10? how many extra disks in modern size ranges are recommended - 3?) That all depends on the number of drives and the workload. Also i am not sure about modern considerations of multiple PCI buses - especially with regard to separation of ssd's onto a separate HBA (or several?) to avoid bottlenecks in performance and/or failures. SSDs can be SATA and the hard drives SAS. Finally, are departmental all-in-one combines following the Thumper ideology of data quickly accessible to applications living on the same host without uncertainties and delays of remote networking still at all 'fashionable'? ;) They are with Joyent! Buying a single purchase initially may be easier to justify than multiple boxes with separate roles, but there are other considerations too. In particular, their corporate network is crappy and slow, so splitting into storage+server nodes would need either direct cabling for data, or new switching gear which i don't know yet if it would be a problem; localhost data transfers are likely to be a lot faster. I am also not convinced about higher reliability of split-head solutions, though for high loads i am eager to believe that separating the tasks can lead to higher performance. I am uncertain if this setup and its tasks would qualify for that; but it might be expanded later on, including role-separation, if a practical need is found after all. You can easily get all you are after in a 4U all in one. Keep the system simple if you can. PS: how do you go about backing up such a thing? Would some N54L's suffice to receive zfs-send's of select datasets? :) Another, low spec Illumos box with plenty of storage. Performance won't be an issue, so you can use wider raidzN vdevs to boots capacity. -- Ian. ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

David ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss Were you unable to navigate (cd) or delete (rm)? It seems like you have a case of single-pool machine, and the rpool has overflowed. You likely have regular auto-snapshots, so deleting files from live datasets does not really free up space - to the extent that zfs refuses to borrow some bits from space it has system-reserved anyway in order to mark blocks from the deleted files as last-referred by a snapshot. And so 'rm' fails even as root. Does this guess match? ;) Kill a snapshot and further deletions should then proceed well, although won't free up space until you remove snapshots that reference the deleted data. Other failure to delete may be to read-only and/or ocerlay mounts, attempts to delete from snapshot (directory representation), immutable file/dir attribute, access over nfs to a host that does not trust you as root and maps to nobody. These are the most likely secondary reasons...

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Root access to home directories
Thank you. I'm a bit of a novice with Solaris but from what I understand that would make sense to use the mount command. To explain the symptoms and what led up to the failure... I have open Indiana as an os replicated across 2 500 gb drives. A zfs pool for storage which holds my media and a virtual machine, made up of 3 1tb drives and a spare. Virtual box is on the os disk but it's vms are on that separate pool. Sometimes, virtual box catches me out and installs a new/cloned machine onto the os drives The day of the failure, everything slowed down. I tried deleting content from the media pool via vmb. I thought this was working but it all came to a grinding halt. Then, the screen saver of the host reported error message and I was eventually completely unable to log in. Sadly I don't remember the errors. Eventually I had to give into a hard reboot. Upon reboot it would only go into maintenance mode. The boot process reported something about not being able to make a boot copy due to no hd space or similar. Could the deletion of files from the separate media pool have spilled over to the operating system causing it to crash? The deletion of some poorly placed vbox files free a lot of space when I was eventually able to boot into it. I knkw they shouldn't have been there but seems odd it should suddenly run out of room I hope that provides a little more detail.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS replacement problem
You created the pool using slices and not whole disks (that's why it's cXtXdXsX instead of just cXtXdX). That's necessary only for the root pool, it's better not to do that for data pools. If that pool is empty, destroy it and rebuild it using whole disks (just the cXtXdX part, no sX), then your commands will work as expected. Bryan Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS replacement problem
Hi Tim, I don't recall creating them with slices; like you say, only the root pool needs that, which was done because originally it had two SSD units for root in another machine. There was a bit of kerfaffery with other versions, but I do beleive I copied everything off, then destroyed the set and re-created it ... ... but given what you're saying, I think I'm better to copy all the data off again, blast the pool and re-create again using whole drives.
