Sure....I just found flushes from pkgrecv are slow on stdout, so I
get the output late :)

Hi,
I ran a pkgrecv of openindiana.org/dev to have a local IPS mirror of
OI.
While if I run it in foreground I can see the progress, this time I
ran in with nohup background,
redirecting outputs to files, and this time these files are empty,
they don't show any progress,
but I can see pkgrecv running and downloading using truss.
Why?
Just a guess. Have you redirected stdout and stderr?

sounds like the user which is being used to create the snapshot
doesn't have the right RBAC configuration

I had a problem starting time-slider, and reloading dbus solved it for
me. Your problem seems different.
Could you post the output of these two commands?
# svcs -xv
# cat /var/svc/log/application-time-slider\:default.log

Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Server hangs weekly
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
I have this problem on a system that I was using to back up 50 gbs of
material each night. It would transfer that across the network in zfs
and that would kill it but it would only happen after a week or so of
nightly updates of roughly the same size. This machine has 32gb of
ram
and a cp process would hang and swallow it all bringing the system to
its knees. I just stopped that big transfer job and called it a
night.
I am no longer backing up my files to 3 different buildings but that
is
better than crashing my sunray server every 5 days.

One small suggestion - could you write small script dumping memory
info (from kernel mdb) and list of processes to the disk and run it
from crontab every few minutes? Maybe it will be unable to store data
during "hang" but at least you could see trend.
For lost IP address - are you using NWAM?

Hi there,
I'm seeing roughly weekly hangs on a server running OpenIndiana
151a.
I'm
using it primarily as a home fileserver with ZFS.
The exact behavior seems to depend on when I notice it, but
essentially the
server drops off the network and is only variably responsive when I
try to
access the console directly. Sometimes when this happens the system
doesn't
respond at all (e.g., not even to keyboard input). One time I was
able to
interact with the console (after the server had disappeared from the
network) and tried to see what was going on. Tried pinging
google.com(unreachable, as expected). Next I tried `ifconfig -a` and
got this:
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL>
mtu
8232
index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
e1000g0:
flags=1040843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4> mtu
1500 index 2
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ff000000
which explains the lack of connectivity. But after it printed that
it
didn't return. The console still printed my keyboard output
(including ^C,
^Z, etc.), and there was still output coming from other sources
(e.g., I
have napp-it running regular snapshots, so I saw a notice that it
had
used
sudo to run that) but I couldn't get a prompt back. Next I tried
hitting
the power button on the machine I got this:
poweroff: initiated by user on /dev/console
in.ndpd[994]: phyint_reach_random: SIOCSLIFLNKINFO (interfac
e1000g0):
Interrupted system call
bootadm: /boot/solaris/bin/extract_boot_filelist is not owned by
101,
skipping
syncing file systems... done
WARNING: Power off requested from power button or SC, powering
down the
system!
followed shortly by:
WARNING: Failed to shut down the system!
Tried looking through the logs for anything interesting but didn't
come up
with anything, though to be honest I'm not 100% sure where to look
or
what
to look for. When the machine drops off the network I can still
access it
via IPMI (tried this using both the dedicated jack on the
motherboard
and
by sharing the Intel NIC--worked in both cases, but OI was still
unresponsive), so I doubt it's a bad NIC. Motherboard is a
Supermicro
X9SCM-F.
I know that at least sometimes the system will stop running even
my ZFS
snapshots via napp-it, since I've come back to a frozen console that
showed
the last snapshot being taken 12+ hours before (they're supposed
to be
taken every 15 minutes). My guess is this is just because it takes
me
longer to notice sometimes--seems like it's hitting a deadlock
somewhere
that eventually grinds everything to a halt (like with the
ipconfig call
above).
Also, FWIW, here's what ipconfig -a gets me when it works
correctly (MAC
address removed, although interestingly it wasn't even printed in
the
output above):
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL>

Interesting. I have 8GB of memory, which I thought would be enough
for my
purposes (6 x 2TB drives, RAIDZ-2, no deduping or anything special
like
that). Most of the time the server is on it's idle, but perhaps the
regular
snapshots are causing problems. I'll have to try to track memory
usage and
see what happens.
As for NWAM, I believe I'm using it? I haven't turned it off, anyway.
Thanks for the feedback.
