It does seem to flush the buffers, but it doesn't release the drive that 
I can tell.  I get an error in syslog for disconnecting a device that 
still has users.

(Buffer flushing I infer from the fact that the pool shows no 
ill-effects on import; and that could just be luck, since I don't do 
these things really quickly after writing to the pool.)

Perhaps we should also ask another Solaris kernel developer Eric Schrock to 
quote what his dad might or might not have said.  :-)  As we all know, Dr. 
Richard Schrock is a very recent (2005) Nobel prize winner.  (It's a good 
feeling to know that the Solaris kernel has good genes.  Another smiley.)

I have heard rumors that one of Sun's employees was/is being considered for the 
Nobel prize (for her contributions to the internet security).  Don't know how 
that is progressing?

Sorry for the interruption.  Now back to the nonsense.

Re: [osol-discuss] Hi all, i Badly need LSI53C1030 lsi drivers ( not solaris mpt ones )

2007-12-15 Thread Chandan Maddanna
Thanks for update Ian,

Actually the solaris mpt drivers, panics fro scsi disks added on vmware 
enterprise server - Sol 10 - nodes. 

and using lsi drivers seems to be the solution ... tahts why .. Btw if you feel 
that any other virtualization technique can act as a better base, for 
implementing Sun CLuster Test Bed, please let me know..

i was also investigating on xVM with Nevada build 76 and above.. but seems liek 
its still in early stages and had lots of doubts on its working.. 

waiting to hear form you . 


With Warm Regards and Best Wishes,

I thought they stopped providing drivers after Solaris 8?  Why not just
use the mpt driver?

I'm not sure if this is the best way, but I find that doing a zpool export will 
properly flush and buffers and release the drive.

The Thermal zone driver should take care of active thermal zones;
have you install "acpidrv" and look at the thermal zones reported;
in principle, when an overtemp condition is reached, the BIOS should
generate an ACPI event so the OS can deal with it.

That might not be true. On my a mobile platform machine,
fan worked in BIOS but stopped after enter solaris and never worked,
even if the CPU temperature was getting more and more hot.
Eventually the console print
"press any key to reboot"

I'm using snv_77.

Well, here I learn something new. I was always installing the

BSD-4.2 even introduced a name conflict (2 different "mail" programs) that
was solved via your PATH. But nearly 30 years ago, things have been much 
simpler than today.

We had a long ARC discussion when the first /usr/sfw/bin -> /usr/bin/ request
came out and I wrote some text that explains expected problems from moving
too much sw to /usr/bin. Several people that obviously did not grok the 
problem replied fast but there have been a few replies that looked as if my 
message was understood.

At that time it was obvious to me that there is an agreement on only putting
non-critical names into /usr/bin because this is the only way to allow people
to control their envionment via PATH.

/usr/bin/ on Solaris is a SVR4 dominated generic program store. Everything that
is neither SVR4 nor generic needs to be in different directories unless you
like to bnreak usability. My understanding of the ARC is that ARC is responsible
for preventing problems. In out current case, a problem has been introduced
by ingonring basic rules.

I am not sure if you know that the Solaris users that survived the Sun crisis
(which started around 1997) stayed with Solaris _because_ Solaris was well 
planned and did not suffer from the "Linux probllems" that now start to swamp
Solaris too. If we like to keep these users, we cannot blindly follow mikstakes
that have been introduced on Linux.
