I am trying to use crossbow to simulate a low latency multicast messaging test environment on a single box.
I've BFU'ed crossbow from nightly-nd-bins-20081031.i386.tar.bz2 onto a clean Opensolaris 2008.5 build running in VirtualBox. All seems to work well except any etherstubs created and associated vnics disappear after a reboot. After reboot, they do not appear in the list with "dladm show-link", but if I try and recreate the etherstubs I get the error "dladm: etherstub creation failed: object already exists". Is this because I've installed crossbow on opensolaris 2008.5 and it has dependencies in Nevada that are not in the 2008.5 distribution? If so, is there anything I can do to get crossbow to work on opensolaris 2008.5? Will crossbow work with 2008.11? When will crossbow be released into the opensolaris tree as a pkg? Thanks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
