Hi everyone, I'm quite new to OpenSolaris (not to Solaris in general). I installed 2008.11 recently to replace our constantly crashing FreeBSD box serving ZFS+NFS (thanks 3ware for releasing raid card drivers!). Imported zfs pool, everything is fine, disabled nwamd etc. I updated the system to snv_111, everything still worked. To finish building the server I had to configure link aggregation for e1000g0 and e1000g1. Here's where problems started. Terminal hangs when I try to plumb or unplumb an interface and from that moment, "ifconfig -a" also hangs. Even when I managed to create the aggregated link, I still couldn't plumb the aggr interface. I rebooted back into 2008.11, and everything worked just fine. I deleted the 2009.06 env and updated 2008.11 with working aggregated link to 2009.06 again, and booted back into the new 2009.06. The link came up nicely and works fine, but I still can't plumb or unplumb anything. I'm in a rush and the system has to go live, so I didn't have much time to investigate, I only ran ifconfig via truss and the process hangs after reading /dev/udp (which probably isn't related).
Can you suggest any steps I can take to debug this? Sorry, but I'm more of a Cisco person and my Solaris experience is more with sol8/9/10. Is this a known issue? I found this: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6775380 on this forum but I'm not sure if this is related. The system is a dual dual-core opteron board with an nvidia chipset, nge onboard and e1000g in a slot. Also, by the way, let me sneak in a newbie question. On 2008.11, once it found all the updates, I can hardly install anything as everything requires SUNWcsl snv111. Is it safe to install csl_111 onto snv_101? If not, how, other than installing from pkg.opensolaris.org can I still use the 'old' repository? Many thanks, owczi -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
