Re: [osol-discuss] snv_134 slow down every monday morning

2010-08-24 Thread Daniel Taylor
Will,

I'll quickly blast through the answers,

1) mysqldump of remote server, rsync of files then a ZFS snapshot. Does this 
for 4 servers. And there is a windows backup over CIFS.
2) I have done a scrub, I don't have it scheduled but I did it after the first 
'crash' and have done it since. Doesn't seem to have helped.
3) We have two 2TB disks in a mirror
4) I'm going to skip this sunday's evenings backups and see how it goes.
5) we don't use NFS, we do however have one server backing up over CIFS. Using 
wbadmin. I though briefly it was that, since it does a full backup on sunday. 
BUT I moved that backup to last night to try replicate the issue and no joy. 
(and there was a heavier backup load last night since it was monday, so if 
anything was going to happen it should have been then)
6) The hardware is a brand new DELL T110 (I'm not saying its impossible there's 
something wrong with it, but I think its unlikely)

In the mean time I'll scrub the pool again.

Thanks for you reply,

- Daniel

 What exactly are your backup scripts doing?  Have you run a zpool scrub on 
 your pool(s), and do so regularly?  Do you have a mirror or other RAID 
 config?  Have you tried going one Sunday without any of your backups running 
 to see if they're the culprit?  Details may help someone help you.
 
 My 134 desktop is backed up every night with Veritas and it's stable.  Plus 
 it's an NFS client and server and NIS client and is used by several people 
 all day.  The platform seems stable, so perhaps your hardware can't handle 
 the backup stress or there's some major problem with your ZFS pool.  Only 
 speculating.

Re: [osol-discuss] starting $1, 000.00 - Solaris Premier Subscription for Non-Oracle Hardware

2010-08-24 Thread Richard L. Hamilton
AFAIK, that's pretty much what they said they'd do (as contrasted
with coming out with one more OpenSolaris release, which they had
said they'd do but didn't).  So for those who want to run Solaris on
non-Oracle x86 hardware on the HCL in a business setting, it's (still) possible.

The lack of a low-end support option (no human time spent to respond
to specific problems, just online access to info and updates), affordable
(at least for small systems) by home users or freeware developers, is still
disappointing though.

Any freeware developer, and potentially home users and students too
eventually, increase the value of the ecosystem, whether by writing or
porting software that runs on the platform, or by some of them becoming
future big-ticket customers.  That's  practically free money, too; no
cost aside from bandwidth and setting up the account to provide low-end
software support.  And it's money that wouldn't be there without the
low-end option.  Heck, it's even free advertising!

Yes. However it gives the community a very very good reason to do it's own 
distro, and provide updates for that.

Oracle have made it clear they're going after the top end of the market. The 
community can (and will) provide for itself, now they've stopped spoon feeding 
us :-)

 You are starting a new fork? The existing forks already have names,

 Like Oracle Solaris name is chosen by people working on it like you :).Or 
 Solarix Express :).

For the distros I work on, the names were chosen by the people who decided
to create them or who lead them, again, not by spectators on mailing lists.

It would seem to me that if Oracle was planning to discontinue their support of 
OpenOffice (or even VirtualBox), they would not have taken the time to rebrand 
the product.  That was never done for OpenSolaris, and Oracle clearly doesn't 
like spending money or time if they're going to abandon something.

Re: [osol-discuss] Measuring cost of TLB misses

2010-08-24 Thread Marty Itzkowitz
You can also use Oracle Solaris Studio to profile your application
using one of the TLB HW counters.  Various counters are available
depending on the precise Opteron chip model.

To do such a profile:
collect -h l2dtlbm a.out args

will collect a statistical profile, and show which functions and source
lines had the most L2 DTLB misses.

[osol-discuss] bridging question

2010-08-24 Thread Mark Maule
Hi all:

I'm trying to bridge a couple of physical links and assign an ipaddr to the 
resulting bridge.  I'm not very familiar with OpenSolaris bridging, and would 
appreciate any help.

My system has the following:

# dladm show-phys
LINK MEDIASTATE  SPEED  DUPLEXDEVICE
igb0 Ethernet up 1000   full  igb0
igb1 Ethernet unknown0  half  igb1

I bridge them with:

# dladm create-bridge -l igb0 -l igb1 pmi_if
# svcadm enable pmi_if
# [ network/bridge:pmi_if starting (bridge) ]

# dladm show-bridge
BRIDGE  PROTECT ADDRESSPRIORITY DESROOT
pmi_if  stp 32768/0:25:90:2:9b:6e 32768 32768/0:25:90:2:9b:6e
# dladm show-bridge -l pmi_if
LINKSTATE   UPTIME  DESROOT
igb0discarding  0   32768/0:25:90:2:9b:6e
igb1disabled0   0/0:0:0:0:0:0

And now I'm not sure what to do.  I want to assign an ipaddr to the pmi_if0 
interface.

# ifconfig pmi_if0 dhcp
ifconfig: Aug 24 08:10:12  /sbin/dhcpagent[100422]: insert_pif: SIOCGLIFINDEX 
for pmi_if0: No such device or address
pmi_if0: interface does not exist or cannot be managed using DHCP

or

# ifconfig pmi_if0 plumb
ifconfig: Aug 24 08:10:34  ip: pmi_if0: DL_BIND_REQ failed: DL_SYSERR (errno 16)
SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: Aug 24 08:10:34  ip: pmi_if0: DL_UNBIND_REQ failed: 
DL_OUTSTATE
pmi_if0: Device busy

Full disclosure:  The OpenSolaris I am using is a custom boot archive generated 
by taking bits and pieces in an effort to minimize the footprint.  It is based 
off of build 135.

Thanks in advance.

Just to be completely above board, these Premium Subscriptions also
cover support for things *besides* Solaris - such as the Oracle
Unbreakable Linux distro, the Xen-based VM setup, etc.  See here for a
complete list of what the Premium Support option includes:

http://www.oracle.com/us/support/software/premier/index.html


Also, this being Oracle and all, all prices are subject to intense
negotiation - what you see as the price is not necessarily what you pay.
Though it might be. :-)

[osol-discuss] Raidctl disk description

2010-08-24 Thread Ken Woolard
Have a failed disk in a hardware raid config:-

RAIDVolume  RAIDRAIDDisk
Volume  TypeStatus  DiskStatus
--
c0t2d0  IM  DEGRADEDc0t3d0  OK
 c0t2d0  FAILED
c0t0d0  IM  OKc0t0d0  OK
 c0t1d0  OK

The information I require is the Vendor description of the FAILED disk but 
cannot use raidctl -l -g   to get the info as the -g argument is not available 
on the SOl 10 release I have installed ( 11/06 ).
Any other way of getting the info for the failed disk ?
