Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Python 3.10.0

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

Python 2.7 and 3.0 are not compatible with each other. This occurred
several years ago.

Hope you can get this module working! BTW, does pip have numpy in its
repository?

You mistyped libreoffice in the paths you mentioned. No worries, just
pointing it out.

Your Dell NVIDIA card is probably a Quadro NVS card, which supports dual

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Some opt to open their systems while others don't

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I only wish I had the system engineering training to help port illumos to
an ARM. I'd really like to see that done. If someone else has the
experience, I'd be willing to test on a NVIDIA Tegra K1 based Chromebook.
I'm also putting a Jetson TK1 development board on my Christmas list, which
uses a NVIDIA Tegra K1. You also might want to contact Scaleway, see if
they'd be willing to offer a couple ARM64 servers to use for builds.

Good luck!

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Any 32-bit users?

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I would like the possibility of running a modern operating system on a
32-bit Xeon processor-based system (specifically a NetBurst generation
Xeon), such as a ProLiant DL360 G3.

I'm already limited to an older version of RHEL and an older version of
Windows Server as well...

Still the only thing I've seen from Fishworks is a cool YouTube video

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] about VT-x or AMD-v on HP-wx8600 workstation

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

Hello there,

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01316837

My research points me to the BIOS setup screen (F10 on boot), choosing
Security, OS Security, Intel Virtualization instructions.

My only other thought on why you can't find the option is that the CPU
might not support VT-x instructions.

I've tried doing this before and was unsuccessful. Maybe someone can help

I've made a pastebin, maybe someone could give me some advice on how to
proceed from here. A Google search tells me it's possible, but nobody tells
you how to compile the bitch. I'm running the OI MATE spin in VirtualBox.

Pardon my French.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [off-topic] Samsung acquires Joyant

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

The blog post says that Joyent will stay an independent subsidiary of
Samsung. I don't know any Samsung employees, but I bet a Glassdoor search
will say something about the company and how they treat their employees.

Here's hoping that Samsung will nurture their latest acquisition.

My mistake. I thought I read CDDL in detail, but maybe I didn't read BSD
license in as much detail. Sorry bout that!

I'm just guessing, but probably licensing is on the top of the list of
problems. I don't know how compatible BSD license is with CDDL.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] All 32-bit-only X device drivers removed from Hipster -??

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I have plenty of hardware that doesn't support virtualization instructions,
so 32-bit virtualized guests are my only option.

Doing this removes a large population of potential users. It moves them to
other platforms, such as FreeBSD or Linux, which still has 32-bit support
alive and kicking.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] use cases of Sun Studio-compiled C++ libraries on OI

Wouldn't this break the binary compatibility guarantee that Solaris had
been traditionally marketed on?

I'm no kernel engineer, so I wouldn't know.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenSXCE

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

If sufficient documentation is available, I'd be willing to offer the two
SPARC systems I have as build systems, once I get working again. I'd have
to hang on to them, though...

I have a Sun Blade 2500 Red, as well as a Sun Fire V125, unfortunately they
are both only UltraSPARC III powered, would that be a show-stopper?

I'm not a developer, more of a system administrator that likes to dabble,
and I've been using Solaris since version 8, and have used SPARCstation 4s
as well as a Sun Ultra 5 in the past.

Hopefully I can help in some way.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] nfs oi server - linux clients

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I used NIS when I was doing this, while I was beta testing Solaris 9 and
had a Linux client to work with, and that managed to work pretty well,
given I didn't have any connectivity issues between the hosts.

I know that solution is kinda deprecated, but it's pretty complicated to
set up LDAP comparatively.

I currently have a Blade 2500 Red in storage right now - once I get a job
again, I hope to get it up and running, and I plan on trying out OpenSXCE.
I've let Martin know, and he said he'll be happy to have me help out - the
only thing that slightly discouraged me was the XVR-1200 framebuffer that
until recently was EOLed support.

Hope to play with it soon!

I wish I could get FreeNX to compile and run on some kind of Illumos build

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] paging any HP xw8600 users.. or knowledgeable others

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

It'll provide an SFF8087 connector, which you can get a breakout cable
which can branch out to attach to individual disks, or you can get a
backplane of some kind which might have an SFF8087 connection as well. In
that case, a straight cable would suffice. Most HBAs of this type will have
a multilane connector, versus individual SATA ports, since the SAS disk
support requires a slightly different connector on the cable.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] 2x Xeon XS8600

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

You can remove the drive from the bracket and insert it into the host
internally. The brackets are intended for use in hot-swap drive bays,
usually found in servers (rackmounts primarily, but some deskside as well).

However, the SAS connector is a single connector that you would have to get
an adapter cable for use in a non-hotswap configuration. Here's an example
of one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Pin-SATA-Serial-ATA-to-29-Pin-SAS-Connector-4-Pin-Power-Cable-Adapter-New-/111409680629?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item19f088d0f5

SATA drives work on a SAS controller, but SAS drives will not work on a
SATA only controller.

In some cases, the SATA ports in these configurations will report as being
attached to the motherboard chipset. You'll see 4 SATA ports, and 4 SAS
ports. I don't remember off the top of my head how they report in all cases.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] 2x Xeon XS8600

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

SATA disks can run on a SAS controller no problem - they are backwards
compatible, however SAS disks will NOT work on a SATA only controller.

The blue colored SATA socket is port 0, probably for the boot volume. I
can't see from the angle of the photo, but I bet the white colored sockets
are for SAS. Are there any SFF-8087 connectors on the mainboard, by chance?

With the LSI HBA, if it requires it, just make each individual disk a RAID
0 volume. That's how I did it with MegaRAID.

Best of luck!

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Powerloss protected SSDs for ...Re: Low low end server

Wouldn't a UPS with monitoring be a better alternative? Allow the server to
power down safely on UPS when it detects a power lost state. Most UPSes I
know have either serial or USB monitoring, sometimes even Ethernet on
higher-end models (although I've never looked at the monitoring systems in
depth, YMMV).

I don't know if it affects your setup, but I thought the 9211 was 6Gbps SAS
only, and 3Gbps SATA. Are your disks SAS? I'm not familiar with any drives
that WD makes being SAS, but maybe it was just the environment I was in
didn't use them.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Accessing smb shares from windows

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

Sorry bout that, I'm scouring the documentation now and I can't find the
sharecifs property. Maybe I'm out of practice.

Here's a link to some documentation from Oracle for Solaris 11 re: SMB and
Windows interoperability. Maybe it'll be a little more helpful:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1449/managingsmbshares.html

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19120-01/open.solaris/820-2429/createstaticsmbsharezfstask/index.html

Hope those help. My mistake!

You might want to change the sharesmb property to sharecifs. Man pages
might be of use here. I've done it with the sharecifs property instead of
smb.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Mirror IPS package repos?

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

Hey, I'd like to make a mirror of the IPS repos for openindiana.org, anyone
have a command they could suggest that could run, maybe using rsync, wget
or curl?

Any other suggestions? I'd like to try out mirroring it on an Amazon S3
bucket, see how much it'd cost to use.

Thanks in advance. Happy New Year! :)

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Future of OI

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I wonder if CheapBytes is still around - I remember back around 1999-2001 a
website called CheapBytes.com offered various free and open source Linux
distributions for a minimal cost for a CD and shipping. Maybe $5-10 for a
multiple CD set of discs for a Linux distribution at that time.

If they're still around, maybe we should give them the most up to date
version of OpenIndiana?

They're still online, however it looks like their site is not completely
operational... :(

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Linux software-raid with two Comstar iSCSI volumes

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

If the targets are mirrored via ZFS and COMSTAR, why would the Linux host
require RAID? If it's using iSCSI anyway, wouldn't the Linux volume
management just needlessly redundantize the data, that ZFS is mirroring
already?

Or do I not understand your problem, or how ZFS works?

My apologies if I'm talking out of my *EEE-HAW* ! ;)

Don't do that, you may completely blow up the installation and keep

You may want to look at the user roles to see if that may do what

He may not be aware of the hot-swap capabilities, he may be going by
the fact that they aren't in a backplane type cage, but even on their
own, SATA and SAS is designed to be hot-swappable.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [developer] Preliminary Download link: Illumos based MartUX_OpenIndiana_Edition for SPARC LiveDVD (without installer)

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

True, but I'm talking about the native SVR4 packages for NoMachine NX
on SPARC Solaris, already bundles for Solaris 8-10. It may work with
minimal hacking on OpenIndiana for SPARC.

Jonathan, could you maybe give me some pointers on how you compiled it
from source? I was trying to read the documentation that came with the
source, and it was so confusing that I wasn't able to finish the task.

I'm a big fan of NoMachine NX, and would *love* to see it in action on
the Solaris and illumos platforms! I already filed an RFE a while ago
when the illumos project was originally forked, but I haven't any
activity since.

Cheers!

If SVR4 packages work on the current OpenIndiana, you may want to look
into NoMachine NX instead. That would probably be your easiest and
best solution for what you're trying to do.

Don't be embarrassed to ask questions. However, there are some references
that may be helpful and may answer your questions faster than posting to
the mailing list.

The Rosetta Stone for Unix - add Linux and/or Mac OS X in addition to
Solaris, and you'll get some useful command references, however some of the
commands here are not in use on OpenSolaris anymore, so ask any questions
you may have after reading these.

Also good reference books include the OpenSolaris Bible by Nicholas A.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] SPARC-OpenIndiana Screenshots

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I have a Sun Blade 2500 (red, XVR-1200 graphics) available for testing, and
I may be able to convince one of my colleagues to fire up a Sun Fire V240
that I gave him to try with this as well, if you like, Martin. There is
still plenty of sun4u hardware out there that would love to test OI on. :)

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Which mobo allows 24 GB ram and ECC

Wish I could help you, but I don't even know if our servers in our

Best suggestion would be to check Tyan and Intel server boards.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NFS4 users

My bad - I haven't done heavy NFS sharing since Solaris 9 and that was

this time, so I'm probably not the best person to ask lol.

Let us know what works for you.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NFS4 users

If you don't use a unifying authentication system such as LDAP or
NIS+, look up the root_squash and no_root_squash NFS share options.
I'm not sure if this will fix your problems, I've used pure NFSv4 most
of the time.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Brainstorming for OpenIndiana server

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I'm thinking about setting up a RAID-Z training server, with Linux as
a base. Yes, I know it's weird, but hear me out.

I have an AMD Opteron server that I'm repurposing from my old
workstation. I may be putting a hot-swap cage in here, and using the
onboard nforce (ahci) controller with a Linux host, running
OpenIndiana in a VirtualBox instance. Could it be possible to pass the
raw devices to the VM via a SATA controller, and then run the drives
in a RAID-Z configuration? Unless the root pool can be set up on
install as RAID-Z, I can use a virtual disk

Host will have an AMD Opteron 1352 with 4GB DDR2 RAM.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS mirror or stripe support on boot volume

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I'm looking at setting up OI in a VirtualBox instance, allowing direct
access to two disks.

Is it possible, using the existing OI installer, to set up the boot
volume to be a ZFS stripe or mirror? I have two 80GB IDE disks (which
I may set up as SCSI controlled in VBox) on an openSUSE host.

Let me know. I have a Dell Precision 670 set aside for the task. Thanks!

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] E-sata PCIe card problems

The motherboard BIOS setting only controls the integrated SATA
controller - it won't do *anything* for discrete SATA controllers on
separate cards.

I guess that it's good that my DL360 G3 will be running ESXi, with
OpenIndiana in a VM. I just hope that I can get open-vm-tools to
compile properly on OI - I haven't tried to do this in a *long*

Almost all of the stuff in the OpenSolaris Bible will be valid. The

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] General question about motherboards

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

ATX cases will come with standoffs that you will screw into the
chassis' motherboard tray to match holes in the motherboard.

ATX cases will take up the entire motherboard tray, MicroATX boards
will take up a smaller footprint in these cases. There are sub-ATX
cases available that will only handle microATX boards, however if you
have a tower (mini, mid or full) it is highly unlikely that you will
not be able to fit a board into it.

My mainboard on my desktop is a microATX with a Thermaltake BachVx
mid-tower case. I had no problems fitting it.

Hope this helps.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Suggestions for SATA HBAs

[Alex Smith (K4RNT)]

I'm looking for PCI-E x1 SATA HBAs - any suggestions on ones that
would work out of the box with OpenIndiana and related distros? I've
been tracking chipsets as they come out for other things, but not
storage.

I hope to repurpose my current desktop as a file server and general
purpose server in a home hobbyist setting. Are there any other options
besides x8 PCI-E HBAs out there? I'm not sure what current Silicon
Image controllers work.

Thanks in advance! :)
