[OmniOS-discuss] booting from a raidz
Hi, I'm wanting to try and learn omnios. I've a linux background. This question can seems odd but is it possible to boot from a raidz pool? Kind regards ___ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
Re: [OmniOS-discuss] booting from a raidz
Is there a particular reason that you want to do this? OmniOS takes up just a few gigabytes, and boots just fine (for me) off a USB stick. It makes to mirror that kind of configuration, and there are advantages to having a dedicated boot drive (since the zpool will consume the whole disk). So I don't have an obvious usage case for a RAIDZ pool for the boot rpool, but I very well may be missing something.

[OmniOS-discuss] any way to get virtual consoles?
hello, i mostly use omnios to better understand unix administration with a focus on solaris based systems. most of my previous work has been under linux and various bsd systems. there used to be provision to have virtual consoles which are typically cycled through by a key-combination (ctrl + alt + fnx). such functionality probably does not exist under omnios. i can understand that the intended use is not as a workstation 'os', and hence it's supposed to be accessed only over the network (ssh). but, it would be kind-a nice to have virtual consoles, especially for those situations when there is no alternative but to be at the physical console and manage the system. is there any configuration file i can edit to get that functionality? maybe add in some package? or would stuff like 'tmux' be the only option? it is kind-a painful. ;) thanks, ~mayuresh ___ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
Re: [OmniOS-discuss] any way to get virtual consoles?
Hello Mayuresh! there used to be provision to have virtual consoles which are typically cycled through by a key-combination (ctrl + alt + fnx). Solaris-based systems typically use Alt-FNx. such functionality probably does not exist under omnios. What makes you think that? is there any configuration file i can edit to get that functionality? Do a # svcs console-login to look at the available services, and then enable the virtual consoles that you want. If it is the first virtual console, you also have to enable the vtdaemon service. Example: # uname -a SunOS nfs 5.11 omnios-b281e50 i86pc i386 i86pc # svcs console-login STATE STIMEFMRI disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt2 disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt3 disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt4 disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt5 disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt6 online 15:45:54 svc:/system/console-login:default # svcadm enable vtdaemon # svcs console-login vtdaemon STATE STIMEFMRI disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt3 disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt4 disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt5 disabled 15:45:47 svc:/system/console-login:vt6 online 15:45:54 svc:/system/console-login:default online 9:26:32 svc:/system/vtdaemon:default online 9:26:32 svc:/system/console-login:vt2 HTH -- Volker -- Volker A.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] any way to get virtual consoles?
yes, did it, followed your instructions to the last letter. no effect. # svcs console-login vtdaemon shows the word online for all of the virtual terminals i started. anything i might have done wrong? ~mayuresh On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 09:32:17AM +0200, Volker A.

Don't ask me why... I think it is stupid. So, you need to set the SMF property for the hotkeys: # svccfg -s vtdaemon setprop options/hotkeys=true # svcadm refresh vtdaemon # svcadm restart vtdaemon # svcprop vtdaemon | grep hotkey options/hotkeys boolean true ... then use Ctrl+Alt+Fn to login, and: # who root pts/1Jun 23 10:29 (192.168.111.52) root vt/2 Jun 23 10:30 root vt/4 Jun 23 10:39 root vt/3 Jun 23 10:39 root vt/5 Jun 23 10:39 :-) If you don't want to enter a password every time you switch virtual consoles, you also need to set the value for secure to false: # svccfg -s vtdaemon setprop options/secure=false Good luck -- Volker -- Volker A.
