[osol-discuss] Issue With Plumb Dual NIC BGE
Hi, I'm hoping that someone here can help me... it was only thanks to this list and a couple of threads that I was able to get my opensolaris sol11express machine upgraded to solaris 11... that really was somewhat painful. the zone, I eventually had to just blow away and start over with, because it kept wanting to look at opensolaris.org for the ips packages, and refused to upgrade. :( I never did figure out how to get it to stop looking there, I deleted everything referring to opensolaris from /var/pkg on zpools the zone referred to. but, now, I've got another problem, amd motherboard with dual bge nics, bge0 won't plumb up after the upgrade to sol11, I get these exact symptoms, as reported in this bug: https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?format=multipleid=6343 worked just fine in express. my output from dmesg: Nov 27 16:24:52 woden mac: [ID 469746 kern.info] NOTICE: bge1 registered Nov 27 16:24:52 woden pci_pci: [ID 370704 kern.notice] PCI-device: pci14e4,1644@9,1, bge1 Nov 27 16:24:52 woden genunix: [ID 936769 kern.notice] bge1 is /pci@0,0/pci1022,7450@a/pci14e4,1644@9,1 Nov 27 16:24:52 woden ip: [ID 205306 kern.error] bge0: DL_ATTACH_REQ failed: DL_SYSERR (errno 22) Nov 27 16:24:52 woden ip: [ID 670008 kern.error] bge0: DL_BIND_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE Nov 27 16:24:52 woden ip: [ID 328654 kern.error] bge0: DL_PHYS_ADDR_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE Nov 27 16:24:52 woden ip: [ID 954675 kern.error] bge0: DL_UNBIND_REQ failed: DL_OUTSTATE Nov 27 16:24:53 woden smbd[2075]: [ID 702911 daemon.notice] dyndns: failed to get domainname Nov 27 16:24:53 woden last message repeated 1 time Nov 27 16:25:00 woden mac: [ID 435574 kern.info] NOTICE: bge1 link up, 1000 Mbps, full duplex as you can see, bge1 works fine, (thankfully) ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] New update of Solaris 11, how is it?
Now that the full version of S11 is beginning to ship, will we finally see the long=promised code drop of new kernel code or has Oracle decided to permanently close off public access to post-Sun kernel developments? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] fork1() fails with ENOMEM
Bill,
try this as a starting point (it's only a rough outline, you'll have
to fill in the missing bits). As you'll see, it's neither elegant nor
minimal, and will probably spit out *lots* of stuff. Use your
favourite source repo and some judgement to get to the core of this.
/* use dtrace w. -C and include errno.h, also use -F (or pragma flowindent) */
fork1:entry
{
self-s =speculation();
speculate(self-s);
}
fork1:return
/self-s arg1 == 0 errno == ENOMEM/ /* fork1 fails! */
{
commit(self-s);
self-s = 0;
}
fork1:return
/self-s/
{
discard(self-s);
self-s = 0;
}
fbt:::entry,
fbt:::return
/self-s/
{
speculate(self-s);
}
this last probe creates all the output - perhaps you can somehow
reduce it to only produce output if enomem is returned ... or
something.

This isn't really specific to OpenSolaris since it also happens on

I have a java program that is failing because it does something that
calls
fork1(), which fails with ENOMEM (confirmed using truss):
27010/2: fork1() Err#12 ENOMEM
I've used both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the JVM. Using the
64-bit
version, I see the heap expand to just over 4GB before it forks:
27010/30: brk(0x107DE3D90) = 0
I have almost 160 GB of swap space:
$ swap -s
total: 806336k bytes allocated + 167872k reserved = 974208k used,
159746184k available
It doesn't seem like it can possibly be running out of swap space.
What other reasons would cause fork1() to fail with ENOMEM?
___
The vm system is rather fond of using ENOMEM as a generic error bucket.
If you have a way of reproducing the problem, a bit of DTrace will quickly
turn
up the reason. I assume it's only the 32 bit version
that is failing to fork, right?
Sorry, I wasn't clear. The 64-bit version fails as well. With the 32-bit
version I limit the Java heap to 2GB. It doesn't run out of heap, but the
fork fails.
I'm sure dtrace will solve every problem I have, but I don't know how
to use it to solve this problem! :-( Hints?

Re: [osol-discuss] Illumos loosing the SystemV heritage, fork (was: Re: Is anyone planning an alternative to Illumos or a fork?)
Frankly, I don't see why none of the forks/sporks/distros floating around are looking at the modernized, more-featureful versions of the System V tools available from the Heirloom Tools project. IIRC, most of them are even CDDL-licensed (as OpenSolaris code was a starting point for most of them) so they should fit right in with the rest of the code. If I had the time and energy to do so, I'd go ahead and make such a distro myself, but I don't, so I guess I'm left wondering why everyone is looking only at the options of either moving to a BSD or GNU userland, rather than the superior options of using what is essentially an enhanced version of what already exists. Mike ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] OpenIndiana - a new OpenSolaris Distribution!
I just hope that OpenIndiana will intergrate the Heirloom tools rather than completely GNU-ifying the userland like Nexenta. Mike ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Idea for Oracle: Solaris11 and Support for Desktop in combination!
Hi Form my personal opinion Oracle should make only one statement that could resolve and blow away the fear from users / customers contributors, illumnos project members and so on: We - Oracle decide that our effort should be to build the strongest and best Server OS with Solaris11. That's our business, that's our core! On the other side, we of course support contributors to make a desktop version from the source of the upcoming Solaris11 to broaden the user base of solaris OS - show the key concepts and all this. It's as simple: Support Illumnos for working together. Help with Servers, code and technology needed for desktop and small server systems help, belenix, schillix, stormOs and all this people who love to have the best OS on the working machine - NOT ONLY on the BIG IRON in the DATACENTER! It of course makes sense - for Oracle - to ship some things only with the Server Version (Solaris11) but it makes much more sense to support the community and broaden the user base, let them use most of the key concepts of an Big Iron based Server OS and make them hungry really hungry for Solaris11 to be installed and of course payed for on ther server machines! But don't stop all the effort for the people who like to have a home own screwed NAS box with the power of Solaris. Don't stop the community getting more attention on this wonderful OS. I've seen all this with OS/2 from IBM. They made big mistakes. So why should Oracle do the SAME? Only because it doesn't make money? It Makes Money - if the concept is the right one: If your are in Business - and do have Servers - you need contracts (as we do) but I won't pay for my laptop to have an Solaris on it - because it should come fŕom the community So please Orcacle - Think about decisions that will kill on the long run your userbase!

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris cancelled, to be replaced with Solaris 11 Express
So, OpenSolaris is officially dead... They're no longer providing even read-only access to the live source code (only rare dumps of release products), no longer have any interest in community contribution and also reserve the right to maintain complete radio silence, as it were, on any new features that they might be working on. This sounds to me like they're planning on following the Apple/Darwin model here, rather than the Sun model. This really is a sad day.

Re: [osol-discuss] [distribution-discuss] Community distro
Rather than all the negativity that's been going around, let's focus on the positive things: 1. We still have the code, including code that's MUCH more recent than the last public binary build. 2. There are companies like Nexenta that might be able to help maintain OpenSolaris, even if Oracle decides to let it slide. 3. Maybe we can finally take this as an oppurtunity to build the CommunitySolaris around the Heirloom Project's tools rather than unenahanced tools currently used in the official versions or the GNU stuff used by Nexenta. :) Mike ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] More negative press: Oracle maintains silence on OpenSolaris' future
Frankly, I don't see why people are so upset about what's going on here. Why is the lack of an official binary release from Oracle such a big deal? The code is still available and seeing updates, although nobody seems to have been doing public build of those updates since 134... Why can't the community take up the slack? So what Oracle hasn't been pre-building the latest source versions? What's stopping the community from building, say snv_143? Is the sort of closed-off, no-communication stuff from Oracle HQ helping the situation? No! But why isn't the community helping itself rather than whining about it? Heck, maybe if the community were to go and actually do something with the code rather than whining, it might demonstarte to people in charge that the OpenSolaris project is worth continuing...

[osol-discuss] can video card and usb resources be allocated in zones ?
it's standard to allocate disk/ram/cpu/net resources in zones ... but what about video card output? or usb keyboard input? my larger goal is: create a 'poor mans' pseudo-sunray-like server/client setup using zones. i envision two, duel headed video cards (nvidia fx380) for a total of four distinct hd monitor output and four distinct usb keyboard inputs(with usb mouse attached to keyboard) all served up from my sun ultra27 running osol.20xx.xx. the idea is to leverage my available resources. essentially, i can turn one workstation into four, for the cost of just 3 more monitors and three more keyboards/mouse. as far as i can tell, this should be more efficient than a sunray setup, but would cost a few thousand less (per year). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] full package set DVD's for 2009.06 (was: FINAL Reminder: End of SXCE)
Alan, so if so many people want it so badly, why have none of them used that to build an image and ask to have it hosted on genunix.org or opensolaris.org? That is probably because the SXCE distribution had all packages included so there wasn't a reason to build it. Besides, my guess is a lot of people are not programmers. Most are probably just systems administrators or users who just want to be able to install the OS; they don't know how to use the distro constructor tool. It needs to be easy if you want people to use it. This is an Open Source community after all, not a venue to demand free products and services from Sun. Didn't mean to get you upset. I understand this is an Open Source Community. I wasn't and I don't believe others who offer their opinions are demanding anything from Sun, I mean Oracle.

[osol-discuss] What's Going to Happen to OpenSolaris?
Given that Oracle's acquisition of Sun is now all, for all practical purposes, a done deal, does anybody know what's going to happen to OpenSolaris? Oracle is not exactly known as being friendly to open source software and given that the SPARC+Solaris+Oracle stack is likely to be at the core of Oracle's business model, I'm worried that OpenSolaris is going to go away. This seems especially likely given that Oracle PR folks didn't even mention OpenSolaris when they discussed the future of various Sun FOSS projects earlier today.

This bug has a state 10-Fix Delivered:Verified (Fix available in build) but where to get the update? Of course I don't want to switch to the development branch. As well as don't want to wait 6 months to get a release build with the bug fixed. Does someone provide a bugfix patches for the release versions? Maybe there is some commercial support for this? I've found commercial opensolaris support offers on sun.com however there's a note the patch could be available within a 6 months, which's actually a period when stable branches of osol are released. I've tried to talk with Sun support in webchat, they don't know anything except a phone numbers. Support on the phone don't know the details, they can just read for you an info from the public website.

[osol-discuss] Exception Handling in 64bit C++ Processes on Intel Xeon
Hi, when running our c++ application on Intel's Xeon 5570 processors with the latest Solaris 10 Update 7 (141415-10), we're having problems with exceptions not being caught properly when running 64bit processes. After some analysis, it seems that if an exception is thrown in a shared library B which was loaded through dlopen() and has its exception handler in its parent library A, the exception handler is sometimes ignored (not found on the stack or whatever...), so the exception runs all the way through and causes the process to crash due to an uncaught exception. When running the same processes on 32bit, this doesn't happen. Also, running it on SPARC (either 32bit or 64bit) doesn't show any problems at all. Has anyone experienced similar problems with 64bit C++ processes on Solaris x86/x64? I'm aware of some bugs related to libCrun and have therefore already installed 119964-16, which unfortunately didn't help. Any ideas appreciated.

Nicolas Michael wrote: Hi, when running our c++ application on Intel's Xeon 5570 processors with the latest Solaris 10 Update 7 (141415-10), we're having problems with exceptions not being caught properly when running 64bit processes. After some analysis, it seems that if an exception is thrown in a shared library B which was loaded through dlopen() and has its exception handler in its parent library A, the exception handler is sometimes ignored (not found on the stack or whatever...), so the exception runs all the way through and causes the process to crash due to an uncaught exception. What kind of exception? There are exceptions that cannot be caught. We should rule out this possibility when running your code on x64. Those exceptions are exceptions that we are throwing ourselves. Within library B, one method b1() cannot find some data it is looking for, so it is creating an exception object (a subclass of our own Exception base class) and throwing it. This exception is then caught in method b2() of the same lib, which is throwing it again. It should then be caught by an exception handler in lib A -- which it seems is not happening.

Re: [osol-discuss] Exception Handling in 64bit C++ Processes on Intel Xeon
Hi all --
To Milan: Yes, the exception is thrown on any architecture. So, the same code
with the same exceptions runs fine on SPARC 32/64 bit and x86 -- it only fails
on x64.
To Martin: We're using SunStudio 12 to compile the code. We currently don't
have a version compiled with gcc.
To John: I'm sorry, I was a little wrong here and have to correct the
re-throwing statement. Our developer just corrected me that the exception is
not thrown in a sub-method as I assumed, but in a macro that I've missed...
Therefore it is thrown just once.
The code in lib B has a makro like this:
#define CHECK_RES(result, name, namelen) \
if (result != 0) { \
MyChar* nameformatted = GetHexString((MyChar*)name, namelen); \
MyException e(ERR_OPERATION_FAILED, \
nameformatted); \
e.setErrorId(result); \
delete [] nameformatted; \
throw e; \
}
... and the method which is using this makro to throw the exception is:
void B::b1() {
...
if (local) {
...
result = ...;
CHECK_RES(result, name, namelen); // exception thrown here is not being
caught on x64!
}
...
}
... and the two exception classes MyException and the base class
MyBaseException:
class MyException: public MyBaseException
{
public:
MyException(void) throw() : MyBaseException()
{}
MyException(const MyChar* msg, ...) throw();
MyException(MyInt64 errorId, const MyChar* msg) throw();
/** Copying instance allowed */
MyException(const MyException rhs) throw();
/** destructor */
virtual ~MyException(void) throw();
};
class MyBaseException
{
public:
MyBaseException(void) throw();
MyBaseException(const MyChar* msg, ...) throw()
/** Copying instance allowed */
MyBaseException(const MyBaseException rhs) throw();
/** Assigning instance not allowed */
MyBaseException operator=(const MyBaseException rhs) throw();
virtual ~MyBaseException(void) throw();
};
Thanks for your help,
Nick.

[osol-discuss] [SOLVED] Re: sendmail internal forwarding to different domain
Hi everyone, The trick, thanks to John B. at Sun, was to remove the use of smarthost from the sendmail configuration and move all routing to the mailertable function. Basically, smarthost is an all-or-nothing switch and this is what was causing my problem. By switching to the mailertable, sendmail will process the domains locally. By adding the smarthost machine as the last entry in the mailertable as a wildcard entry, anything that doesn't match a locally managed domain will be sent out via the smarthost. For example: 123mail.example.com esmtp:123mail.example.com . esmtp:[smtp-server.myisp.com] The dot (.) is the wildcard symbol in the mailertable. Be sure to remove the SMARTHOST entry from the sendmail.mc file and the resulting sendmail.cf file and restart sendmail. I hope others find this helpful. Again, all the credit goes to John B. at Sun. -Michael -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] sendmail internal forwarding to different domain
Hi everyone, I wasn't sure where else to go for this issue, so I hope this question isn't too inappropriate for this forum. I have an internal mail server (mailhost.domain.com) that receives all mail for several domains. It is behind a firewall and uses my ISP's smarthost for outbound mail. Nothing too special here and it is working just fine. I have the situation where for *some* users I need to be able to keep a copy of their inbound mail while at the same time forwarding their mail to another host. As an example, on mailhost.domain.com in /etc/aliases, I have lines similar to this: joe: /var/mai/joe, j...@xmail.domain.com sue: /var/mai/sue, suesm...@xmail.domain.com These entries allow the mail to be written locally as would normally happen and also be sent to specified accounts on another host. As long as the host is in domain.com, this doesn't seem to be a problem. Mail for j...@domain.com and s...@domain.com gets written to the file and forwarded as expected. The issue is that I need to have an entry like this: fred: /var/mail/fred, f...@123mail.example.com Where fred's address is f...@example.com. It gets handled by the main mailhost as normal, but I need to send it elsewhere internally as well. A separate host in a separate domain. 123mail.example.com is fully resolvable from mailhost.domain.com -- meaning, nslookup sees the host and the appropriate MX records using our internal DNS. The problem is that sendmail doesn't seem to pay any attention to the local lookups and sends the mail out to the internet via the smarthost. 123mail.example.com is not reachable from the internet, nor is it resolvable from the internet. This causes all mail for this user to bounce with: host 123mail.example.com not found I think what I need is a way to tell sendmail not to use the smarthost for specific host delivery. But it must still handle outbound mail from u...@example.com and pass it to the internet via the smarthost. I know I can use mailertable to send the mail to the other domains, but that affects all users. What I need is a way for mail to hit the primary mailhost.domain.com, pass through /etc/mail/aliases for local file handling, and allow delivery to internal 123mail.example.com without using the smarthost. I am at a complete loss as to how to do this and any help would be appreciated.

Great, the nexenta bge driver really works for me. ibm intellistation a pro 6217, amd 8111 chipset, broadcom netxtreme bcm5703x. It was a real adventure to install solaris on this box. Jumpstarting b110 failed with a very funny message, something like can't use bge driver which was actually used for booting ;-) opensolaris 2008.11 installation from live cd went through but without network. On both platforms adding -Bacpi-user-options=0x8 was necessary, otherwise the box rebooted immediately with a kernel panic. The error message for add_drv when trying to attach bge manually was add_drv -i pci1014,16a7 bge devfsadm: driver failed to attach: bge Warning: Driver (bge) successfully added to system but failed to attach modinfo actually showed the bge driver loaded, but I still could not plumb this interface. Downloaded the sunwbge package from nexenta core, unpacked it on a linux box, and copied the bge files to /kernel/drv and /kernel/drv/amd64. No problems to attach the driver and plumb bge0 anymore. I used package sunwbge_5.11.85-1_solaris-i386.deb, could not find the newer version. hilbe: you can unpack those deb packages with the ar tool (ar vx ...), then you have data.tar.gz which contains the actual files.

Re: [osol-discuss] GNU libc on OpenSolaris
The kFreeBSD port has had a lot of considerable issues with porting software.

Re: [osol-discuss] GNU libc on OpenSolaris
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I don't have a problem with two separate ports. Like for people who want Solaris based system for stability and ZFS, and a solaris based one. A nice and practical upshot of this is the possibility of a kopensolaris-amd64 port which has been a bit of an issue with the current ON based system. The only question is if we ever became an offical Ubuntu port, which one would/should be accepted upstream. If we're legitimentally going to set up a second port, then I'll install dak (not mini-dak), and configure it for this adventure (mini-dak is great for single ports, not so much on multiple ones in my experience). As a second benefit, its likely the base system will not require the same amount of work to get buildds working, so you can probably leverage the existing Debian autobuilder system, and get hardy built much faster than we can since we need to work on improving the ON base.

If some people want to go for Solaris libc, let them do so; likewise for those who prefer an even more GNU-styled userland (with GNU libc being the cornerstone). What we should note though is that Nexenta (CP2) is already much more GNU-like than Solaris has ever been, in my experience... Which is one the reasons I like Nexenta more than I've ever come to like Solaris, after working with a Solaris-based Perl web application for around one year. Of course, my background is much more GNU/Linux-based so I'm biased... Anyway, I think GNU Solaris should be able to umbrella both of these two branches. They can probably not be combined in the same distribution, because we are talking about such core pieces of the system that it would be weird having GNU libc installed when packages have been compiled against Sun's libc, and vice versa. Of course, we could have double packages available for each and every package - one compiled against GNU libc and one compiled against Sun libc. But that would really be a kind of weird operating system... It is much better (IMO) to let the branches be branches. They can share the same infrastructure; both of them can have their autobuilders (when they are ready) hosted on the same machine, but in different zones. And so forth. For the time being though, it might be best to hold some kind of referendum among the core developers (which I am not a part of myself) of GNU Solaris as to which of these branches that should be emphasized. It's not like we have 1000 developers just sitting around and waiting for more work to be done, so a bit of focus (with the clear allowance of letting people with different opinions do their own thing, within the same infrastructure) might be a good thing.

I too never got wpi0 to work stably but on a T61p in any mode, wep, wpa, or neither the two. It'll connect and work for a bit, then either it'll drop the connection over and over or the data rate will be all over the place down to a few bytes a second even when the laptop is a few feet away from the access point. In any case, it's unstable and unusable. I was never sure where to file bugs; so I just posted to bugs forum in hopes that someone from Sun would file the bug and get it fixed at some point.
