[osol-discuss] Network adapters

2008-04-12 Thread Emmanuel De Paepe
I'm currently using a simple Sweex network adapter for internet connection. The reason was that the on-board network adapter did not work in Solaris 10. How can I still see what is missing for the on-board network adapter. This brings me to the following question, how are two network adapters in on

Has anyone seen any movement on these issues? I tried a vpnc package from sunfreeware but got no joy with that on SXDE for some ugly reasons. Cisco vpn client for sparc support has pretty limited utility. People are more likely to need it on x86 than on sparc at the least just due to use on lap

Hi, I am in need of a NAS at home, I am currently running Linux (ubuntu), but I would like to have a look at opensolaris and especially ZFS and Zones. My problem is that I don't really know what hardware to buy, since the HCL (http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl) does not contain the hardware I wan

I tried the in verbose mode but the read out is quite long do you really need this? I'll try to figure out the chip set of the on board network adapter. This is the motherboard: ASUS P5KR By the way, I only plugged in another network adapter after Solaris 10 internet connection failed. So, I don

If I'm correct at least SXDE seems to recognize there is an on board network adapter. I will check for Solaris 10 too. bash-3.2$ prtdiag System Configuration: System manufacturer P5KR BIOS Configuration: American Megatrends Inc. 020107/31/2007 Processor Sockets ==

This is what I found about the on-board network adapter: PCIe Gigabit LAN controller featuring AI NET2 I'll check the manual of the motherboard for further details. 'prtconf' in Solaris 10, 'prtdiag' returns the same results as in SXDE. bash-3.00$ prtconf System Configuration: Sun Microsystems

Yes - the verbose mode gives the detail required - specifically the PCI ID of the network chip. From looking on the web, it seems that the chip on you motherboard may be an Intel 82556DC, which is supported on Solaris Express since build 58. Can you run the following command on your SXDE install

Thanks for the feedback, this is what I got back for SXDE: # ifconfig -a plumb ifconfig: SIOCSLIFNAME for ip: rtls0: already exists # This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

That message means that the rtls0 interface (which is a Realtek card) was already plumbed - presumably this is the card that you bought? Can you run this command as root: ifconfig -a and post the output here? Thanks Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi Jurgen, On our Thumpers running MySQL, we limit the ARC to 4GB. On systems with less RAM we limit the ARC to 1GB. What kind of disk is backing the pools? Might be some kind of array cache flushing issues going on. Also, you might try putting your InnoDB log files on a UFS partition and see if t
