Since solaris 11 ea is meant for companies that are Gold members and not really meant for the general public like solaris 11 express is. I think image-update from solaris 11 express to solaris 11es is not supported. This is correct. We will hope to be able to support 2 upgrade paths to Oracle Solaris 11 - Oracle Solaris 11 Express to Oracle Solaris 11 - Oracle Solaris 11 Early Adopter to Oracle Solaris 11 That second one's good to know, thanks Glynn. The technical problem with upgrading from S11 Express to S11 EA is that the version of pkg included in snv_151a doesn't know how to deal with some of the new package information found in the snv_173 packages, especially around dependency types and the linked image functionality used with zones, so it can't figure out how to upgrade to it. To fix this, a backport of the new pkg software to snv_151a needs to be done, and then made available in the repo so that you can update to the new version of pkg on 151a before then using that to update to a release using these new pkg features, and that wasn't done in the EA release timeframe. Will it be free to upgrade from Solaris Express to Solaris 11? -- Vano Beridze Software Developer Silk Road Group ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Is it good drive layout? Can I have mirrored root pool using only 2 320 hdd-s? It's one option. As long as you don't mind having no parity for your root pool on the 80G disk. And yes, you can create a mirrored root pool using only the 320G disks. That's great that I can do mirrored pool using only 2 320 disks, So I will save 80gb disk for something else. If I create mirrored root pool using only 2 320 disks will I be able to recover easily in case of one disk failure? Yes. I have experienced that with 2x500GB disk drives, back in the S10 11/06 or 8/07 time frame. I was UFS boot, and I don't remember which drive failed. However, the 400GB of data I had on it in a ZFS pool was still there, and re-silvered when I received the replacement drive. I mean it will like: 1. remove failed hdd from the pool. If it if isn't already marked a such. 2. remove it physically 3. install new one physically 4. add new disk into the pool I think replace is the option/sub-command I used. and everything will be rebuilt and my root mirrored pool will be ready? 2. Will I be able create pool at the install time or I should do it afterwards? You have to do that afterwards. Installer only allow you to create a root pool. Personally, and it is just me, in your configuration I would consider installing the rpool on the 80 GB drive, in maybe a 70+ GB slice, and leave another slice handy. Then I would create the data pool on the pair of 320GB drives, mirrored. Solaris does not boot off of EFI labeled disks, so the boot disk needs an SMI label. That means the write cache is turned off. Thus you are leaving a little behind in terms of write performance, which may not make a different--it doesn't in most of my cases. By having the data be on separate, non-boot, it can be EFI. However, you could also use that other slice on the 80GB disk as an intent log. Your OS slice should not get a lot of major traffic to it, so splitting the intent log from the data spindles may do well for some writes, especially NFS writes, without a lot of contention to the intent log. Just a thought, since there will be a risk that if the 80GB drive goes, you are down until it is fixed. Alternatively, it is a good place to put backups, if you boot off of the 320GB disks. Actually it's my development machine so little lag is acceptable. Intuitively I lean to do 80gb 2x320 setup but I would be happy to have 80gb disk for some other task. As I read it's quite easy (at least for me) to install root pool on one of 320gb drives and than make another hdd part of mirrored root pool. It's just a couple of commands. Ideally for the 0 downtime situations I would have 2x80gb and 2x320 drives but that's not the case. So I will go for 2x320gb mirrored root pool. BTW google gave me bunch of blog entries and some solaris 10 documentation entries how to make mirrored root pool. Do you know any official OpenSolaris doc entry for this task? Cheers Vano Steffen The installer will create the root pool for you on whatever disk you choose. You will have to setup the mirror after installation. See the ZFS documentation on how to do that. Ok I will look at it. 3. My motherboard Asus P5B Deluxe has 2 controllers. Should I connect 320 hdd-s to separate sata port of the each controller to achieve better safety/performance? IIRC sata doesn't have this sort of guideline like old IDE interfaces did. In IDE land, you wanted to seperate out the controllers you used so that you weren't blocked when making requests to drives on the same controller. Sata did away with this limitation. I undesrtand, but will it be faster or slower to use two separate controllers?

Hello Is it possible to start with one pool and only one disk in it and after that add another disk into the pool as a mirror of the first disk? Regards, Vano Beridze ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

It will be released when SXDE 1/08 is, which is still about a month away, though it should mostly be the same set of features found in Nevada build 79. Is there available changelog? There is no complete changelog for the Solaris Express/Nevada series. You can find changelogs for the ON X consolidations in their community pages on opensolaris.org, and for JDS SFW in their announcements of new builds in the archives of their mailing lists on opensolaris.org - while that's only 4 of about a dozen consolidations in SXDE, that's probably a bit more than half the code base between them. On what gnome is JDS based that will be shipped with SXDE 1/08?

[osol-discuss] Re: Project proposal: qemu
That would be great. I successfully run qemu on my OpenSolaris x86 on AMD64 and successfully installed windows xp as a guest. But it's painfully slow. I don't know how qemu with kqemu performs compared to VMWare but qemu without kqemu won't succeed I guess.
