Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris with iSCSI Luns and IPMP 3 x "1 Gbe" eth SAN . Is it sensib
Guys to be more clear, look at the diagram below, and tell me how to get a single load spread 2 Gbps link with IP Multi Pathing on Solaris 10 ? Note : Please see Image Below . http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/8928/ipmpmultipathinghz4.gif";> Now i don't want two public ip , what i need is just one IP which utilizes the bandwidth provided by both the nic's. Can anyone help me out guys . meaning i want active-active configuration and i should use one ip at client side and it should make use of the bandwidth of both the NIC's .. can this be done and how, just outbound load spreading is enough for me, as there is no much in bound load generated, except few scsi commands through ip and stuff.. -- With Warm Regards, Chandan Maddanna.

Okie guys, seems like John pointed me to the right direction and i found the solution, But just want a confirmation with "this will work" stamp for the gurus here, and also request there suggestions.. :) O O o o oo o o i am floating in Air.. So the solution i find is something like this . Use IPMP group in iSCSI target to load spread outbound traffic, it increases the amount of data packets that can be transmitted at a time. ( I am looking at some figures like 2.2 Gbps and above from a IPMP group of 3 - "1 GBE" Nic cards ) and Use Multipathing ( MPxIO ) to import same Lun form two different Ip's ( each NIC attached toa saperate NIC ), SO the the inbound speed will also get load spreaded on the interfaces form which i import. Now the only thing left is iSCSI PGR ... is this enabled guys ... please someone at least tell me if this is being developed, because i am ready to wait if this is going to be out by another 20 or 30 days or so .. :) waiting for all your guidance. -- Chandan Maddanna, Unix Services, Bangalore, CSC India.

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris with iSCSI Luns and IPMP 3 x "1 Gbe" eth SAN . Is it sensib
Thanks John, Yes you are right, now i have a active-active IPMP group "SANGroup" of three Interfaces ( e1000g* of 1 GBe each ). So in simple words what i want to know is the effective speed of inbound traffic. I am sure of outbound traffic, as i have seen it in action. The outbound traffic reaches approximately near to ~ 2.6 Gbps ( actually something like 2.2 Gbps ~ 2.6 Gbps ). So will i get a similar performance gain for inbound traffic, as 99% of the traffic for nodes that import the Lun is inbound, and only SCSI commands and wrappers form the outbound traffic. Please let me know if what i am predicting above is true or not . thanks all for help , Warm Regards, -- Chandan Maddanna, Unix Services, CSC India.

[osol-discuss] Sound problems in SXCE77?
Hi guys and girls, Just wondering, is anyone experiencing sound problems under SXCE77 where they didn't before? I have an Intel HDAUDIO chipset in my laptop. I installed the oss drivers from opensound.com (as I always do), osstest spews out sound but things like Rhythmbox or the volume control tell me the correct gstreamer plugins or sounddevice arent installed. Does anyone here recognize this behaviour? Cheers, Patrick ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Are you referring in using a IPMP, active-active configuration, You should read this, Modifying IPMP Configurations: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3000/deploynetmult-47?l=en&a=view Also this is good reading, USING ISCSI MULTIPATHING IN THE SOLARIS™ 10 OPERATING SYSTEM: http://www.sun.com/blueprints/1205/819-3730.pdf This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] OpenSolaris with iSCSI Luns and IPMP 3 x "1 Gbe" eth SAN . Is it sensible ?
Hi Guys, I just received a new request to provide a SAN for a new project . I was thinking to do the following, Please let me know if it is feasible. OpenSolaris + iSCSI LUNs Setup + IPMP group of three 1 Gbe Ethernet card with group IP and load Spreading. But What i am really worried is Two things. 1.) I am trying IPMP group for performance, "Outbound" load spreading i am not worried of , as i have myself seen it in action and is quite efficient, But does Inbound Load Spreading work with IPMP and will it have same effect. because if this doesn't work, than it introduces a bottle neck at the node which imports and makes use of the LUN. and secondly, 2.) What happenned to the PGR Reservation bits, Is this thing Done or Still in process, if in development, at which build is it aimed at .. This opens a lot of doorways and also makes a cheap replacement to real SANs complete. Please help me out guys, I am particularly concerned about performance, and also about applications which make user of Persistent Reservations and if they fail with this SAN implementation.
