[osol-discuss] Is raidz root support on Solaris 11

[Andrew Watkins]

Can I ask if raidz is support on root with Solaris 11?

I am having problem doing it from auto-installer and I just thought that 
may be the reason.


Cheers,

Andrew

No possible; only a mirror is allowed (and only standard  compression, not
gzip).

I don't know if it worths to mention but the version of Solaris 11 is the

root@solaris11:~# ping www.google.com
www.google.com is alive


I suspect that what is happening is that the zdev1/net0 vnic thinks it
is OK to allocate another MAC (Ethernet) address but virtualbox isn't
happy with it and thinks something in the VM is trying to spoof
packets  There may be a way within virtualbox to disable this
behavior, but I've not used virtualbox recently enough to remember.


Perhaps try different virtualbox networking "modes" (I assume bridge 
mode is being used)?  In any case, I'd submit a bug against virtualbox.

Hi Seb,


> (I assume bridge mode is being used)?


Yes, that is correct, I'll try the other "modes" later on. I did a scratch
install of the zone, and I got the same results.

 In any case, I'd submit a bug against virtualbox.

Whatever you do to reconfigure it, you need to do it in the zone.  You
can use sysconfig configure, or use ipadm.  I think the steps are
something along the lines of:

root@zone# ipadm delete-ip net0/
root@zone# ipadm create-ip net1/v4
root@zone# ipadm create-addr -T static -a local=addr/mask net1/v4

My fingers are still learning the new magic, so there could be
something horribly wrong in my advice.  If Seb gives conflicting
advice, he's probably right.

Since you brought it up... ;-)  The objects that ipadm manipulates are 
IP interfaces and addresses.  In the above example, the delete-ip and 
create-ip subcommands are manipulating IP interfaces, and the 
create-addr subcommand is manipulating an IP address over one of those 
interfaces.  "net0" and "net1" are IP interface names.  "net1/v4" is the 
name of an IP address over the "net1" IP interface.  So the sequence is:


# ipadm delete-ip net0
# ipadm create-ip net1
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a / net1/v4

Seb/Mike,

Thanks for your inputs, I also asked the same question in VirtualBox
forums. I'll retry this again tonight and see. I ended up having troubles
with reconfiguration. I am going to go ahead and do another scratch install
tonight!, I'll keep you guys posted.

 Do you mean, sysconfig configure here or some othe procedure. Right now
 it
 looks like this:
 LINKCLASS MTUSTATEOVER
 net0phys  1500   up   --
 net1phys  1500   unknown  --

To be fair, you could buy one solaris server, and run an infinite number of
zones in there.  This is really no different from paravirtualization in
linux, but you have the advantages of ZFS and Crossbow.  So from that
standpoint, I would acknowledge this as a cloud OS.  But then so is solaris
10 and opensolaris and openindiana...   ;-)

But a host based on solaris and zones, versus a linux machine with xen or
whatever...  Sure, it's a solid competitor.  "First cloud OS?"  maybe not,
but whatever.

Been there.  Bought that.  Never again.

[osol-discuss] Change host name on ora-Sol 11

[Harry Putnam]

Is there some different way to change host name in oracle-solaris 11?

There is no /etc/nodename file.  and I find the only place under /etc/
the hosts' current name is referenced is in:
   /etc/svc/profile/site/sc_profile.xml

That doesn't look like the kind of place renaming would be done.

So any special technique involved or am expected to create /etc/nodename?

 When a machine is standalone or its IP address is configured
 locally,  the  svc:/system/identity:node  SMF  service has a
 property, namely nodename, for setting the system name.

 To set the name of the node use the following command:

   # svccfg -s node setprop config/nodename = "mynodename"
   # svcadm refresh node
