[OpenIndiana-discuss] Console login/No login for user

2012-08-28 Thread Ivan Gualandri
Hi,

i just installed openindiana on a virtual machne, but i cannot login with
the user name just created during the installation (it says Login Failed).

And if i try to access with root  it says: Roles can only be assumed by
authenticated users.

Now i'm just wondering if i can access via console to user account and
check if i just mispelled  username/password. I tried ctrl+alt+f1 but it
doesn't change on text mode.

Anyone can help?

Thanks,
Ivan

 Second: I installed the OS, not using the live cd.
 And during the installation phase it asks also to create a user. Or that

 btw i tried to use jack/jack but it correctly says authentication failed.

The default user usable for interactive login on the Live media
is jack with password jack. Depending on how you installed
the OS, this user may be present in the resulting installation
(and should be removed for security concerns at least); instead,
there should be an unprivileged user with password that the
installation wizard asked of you.

So you login with an unprivileged user (it may be possible that
it fails with some weird characters in the password), and then
you can use pfexec and/or sudo su - to elevate privileges.

In your case, try to boot the system in single-user mode, this
allows root to be precessed as a user for duration of repairs
and login interactively. To boot single-user, press e in the
GRUB menu to edit options for the selected boot environment,
select the kernel line and press e again, and append -s for
single-user mode. Then enter to save and b to boot.

Alternately, you can boot from live installation media, import
your rpool:
# zpool import -f -R /a -N rpool
# zfs mount rpool/ROOT/openindiana
and fix up the root user-role in /a/etc/user_attr (replace
type=role with type=normal) - this should allow root to
always be an interactive user, but would be against new
security habots ;)
# zpool export rpool

Hi again,

i'm planning to install openindiana on my old laptop. But unfortunately
there isn't suppoer for none of both network card installed.

I found that probably the myk driver can be used to add support for at
least the ethernet card.

But the package that i found need to be compiled, and in the default
installation there isn't any compiler installed (gcc or suncc).
So i must install at least one of them manually/offline.

Is it possible ?

Have you tried getting the drivers from the respective part vendors?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] illumos KMS Hackathon in Germany

2012-08-28 Thread Robin Axelsson
I was working with the binaries that Ken Mays supplied so I don't know 
what configuration he used when he compiled them. The location of the 
file in question is in:


/usr/sfw/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/usr/sfw/lib/amd64/libgcc_s.so.1

and it was there before I tried installling gcc4.4.4.


I also tried compiling the binaries myself, without much success 
unfortunately. After weeding out missing file error messages with the 
package manager (installed pkg-config + libtool packages), it seems to 
be able to build the libdr.so but when trying to build the libkms.so I 
got the following error when trying to make libdrm-2.4.37:

Trying to install the mesa-e2e7b467d8a6567437823767af74004a396f1c82

You can download the image of repository (approx 2.6Gb)
which should give you the illumos-gate binaries for your
release locally installed as a repo server on your system.

You can then install packages from this mirror of IPS
repository, including creation of local zones.

we are looking for a new storage system based on a

Been running an SC847 with a four LSI SAS2x36 expanders connected via
two redundant paths from two LSI SAS2008-based cards without any trouble
at all (the chassis itself is loaded with 45 Toshiba MK2001TRKB SAS
drives). Snap together, just works. Only the Toshiba drives needed some
love in scsi_vhci.conf to enable multipath (a trivial operation), but
other than that, that configuration has been a bucket of pure win for me.

these combo seems to work very well, but openindiana or zfs itself has

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI-based PACS DICOM server

2012-08-28 Thread Bryan N Iotti
Folks,

just thought you'd like to know that the Veterinary Sciences Faculty of
the University Of Torino, Italy, is now running an open source PACS
DICOM server based on OpenIndiana, administered by yours truly.

Pretty much, it revolves around a zone that contains a copy of the
DCM4CHEE open source Java PACS, itself running on JBoss and a PostgreSQL
9.1 DB.

Due to budget restrictions, my hardware choice was the HP Proliant
Microserver, with 8GB RAM and 2x250GB mirrored root disks, along with
2x1TB mirrored 7200RPM SATA drives for the tank pool. All of these
disks run a weekly scrub and are SMART monitored. For now we rsync
backups of the data to a mirrored 2TB LaCie network disk (on the other
side of the building is the best I could do), but I'm not too happy with
that solution and would prefer something that is SMART capable. The OS
and zone have been dumped to USB media and are manually backed up (no
modifications are made to the system itself during normal operation, we
really only care about the patient data).

No hardware issues at all. It recognized everything fine. Deployment
took two hours and then we were loading data (I had preinstalled
everything in the zone at home and migrated it, greatly simplifying the
process).

It runs very very well and has been performing fine for the past six
weeks. During the summer break we loaded the 640GBs of X Rays, CT and
MRI scans that the hospital has acquired over the past eight years. We
have had no problems so far and are very happy with it.

This system also carries the Weasis DICOM viewer as one of the
deployable packages, so it has a centralized update point for all the
workstations that use that viewer in conjunction with the PACS.

The staff is happy because they can finally find all of their diagnostic
images in one place, instead of going through three or four systems by
hand. Makes getting all of your thesis data together a breeze ;).

I have been asked to give a small presentation on this system both for
the Faculty and for some Vet congresses that are coming up. In the past
I was very clear with the Profs about the fact that this service is made
possible by the unique features of OpenIndiana, with zones, ZFS and its
networking stack, I will be sure to stress this point during the
presentation as well.

I hope I get the chance to install several similar systems in the future.

Thank you all, such a system would not exist without your continued effort.

   Bryan

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] LiveUSB and oi_151a5

2012-08-28 9:19, Jim Klimov wrote:

Hello all,

   Did anyone test in practice the LiveUSB for oi_151a5 GUI image?
I'm trying to flash a 1Gb USB token from windows using the procedure
in OI wiki (with liveusb creator utility), and the resulting image
does not boot - only shows GRUB _ and flashes the cursor.


After some tests I ended up with an incredible working toolchain,
albeit possibly sub-optimal: I tried to get some bootloader boot
the ISO or USB images straight from files on a USB storage device
while back at home, so I could go to the shop and lockpick the
notebook to test its compatibility with various OSes. Ultimately
this idea has partially failed, but I had a lot of fun doing it
today. So:

The USB HDD now has a 32Gb FAT32 first partition and is bootable
with syslinux, which can potentially boot ISO images with memdisk,
but is VERY slow doing this. While a 110Mb clonezilla image took
about a minute to transfer into RAM, the OI livecd took about 20
minutes and the something stacktraced and the machine rebooted.

Then I googled around and got grub4dos which is booted from the
syslinux menu, and in turn loads the ISO image quite well and
quickly (but fails to boot a USB image from file). This works
until svc:/filesystem/root:media tries to find either a cdrom
or usb distro media, and no longer sees the CD image instantiated
by GRUB. Maybe I did something wrong here?..

The Live media does not include a pcfs driver, so I can't mount
a loopback device with the ISO image from my HDD either.

However when I created a second partition and dded the USB
image onto it, booting the ISO image with GRUB4DOS from file
on FAT32 partition *did* get the LiveCD to the point where it
found the USB media and continued to boot into GUI okay.
GRUB chainloading into the partition with the USB image from
both grub4dos and the Solaris-compatible grub image on the
ISO did not boot the system, speaking of Error 13. Lucky :)
I guess the partition should have included some GRUB stage,
it has many zero-bytes as the starting part.

So with this setup I got the OI_151a5 image booting on my dying
notebook at home, and it worked in the shop as well. So soon
we'll be closing the purchase of the Lenovo E335.



   How lacking is USB3 support? Would the ports not work at all,
or can they drop back to compatibility modes like USB1 or USB2?
Can they be passed through as is to a VM (VirtualBox, KVM) that
would have drivers to support them better? ;)


The USB3 ports did not work with the OS - not even for the
mouse. One port is powered, so the mouse laser shined there ;)

Also the WiFi driver is missing, at least from the LiveCD -
apparently the laptop uses a BCM 4313 WiFi abgn chip, IIRC.
Does anyone know off the headtop if that driver is in OI,
or where it can be found? I'll go google for that now ;)
I've already seen that Broadcom opensourced their drivers
for Linux 2 years ago, and the code drop included support

I knew that beforehand, from the list - so no surprises here.
It only remains to hope that as USB3 gains momentum on desktops,

 (under what looks like a BSD or MIT license, as well as an
 apparent usable license for the firmware blobs), it would
 be useful to port these to Illumos

Did this proceed anywhere? Do we at least know the licensing
for that code drop, and if illumos can use it (or an encumbered
SFE repo?)



No, Broadcom WiFi chips are not supported by Illumos :-(



By now I've seen several issues on this in the bug tracker,
where you were active too, and a suggested workaround to use
either a different wifi device (for which a driver exists),
or hack up an NDIS-wrapper driver. I plan to play with the
latter when I get a hold of the computer for long.

Are NDIS drivers known to cause some problems (stability of
radio link or the OS, capability for WiFi encryption and other
standards, etc.)? Does anything prohibit successful binary
builds from being redistributed (as in an IPS repo), or is
this a semi-legal hack due to reverse engineering involved?

 500gb datasets.


Have you priced out self-encrypting aka hardware-based encrpytion drives?

Hi Julius,

Seems like nobody picked up the question, so I'm going to.

 Hi guys,

 due to a lack of high-speed networking, we're unable to replicate our ZFS
 pool offsite, so we're relying on a zfs send to a USB disk.  We'd like that
 encrypted.

 Currently i have an automated process which creates a zpool Offsite on a
 big USB HDD, and then runs something like this, then exports the Offsite
 pool.

 /sbin/zfs send -R Backups/natoffice@offsite | /usr/bin/encrypt -a aes -k
 ~/encryption.key -o /Offsite/encrypted_zfs_send_blob

Seems like pretty much the best way to do it. I'd personally go for gpg,
but that is merely a thing of personal taste.

No, there probably isn't. Encryption is fairly quick process, though for
large data volumes it can take its toll on system resources. You could,
in the interests of lowering the data volume, do incremental sends and
receives - this would only transfer blocks which had changed between two
successive snapshots. Piping it though a fast compressor might also be a
good idea prior to encryption, as this might lower the data volume by
around 50% (see lz4 or lzo compression algorithms for this).

Reliability is assured, so you can sleep peacefully. Send streams are
AFAIK checksummed too, so no need to worry about your bits getting
corrupted on the way. Anyway, you can always just use something like GPG
which hashes the encrypted output by default and checks integrity on
decryption, something like this:

# zfs send fs@snapshot | gpg -c --cipher-algo AES --digest-algo SHA512 
/media/usb/stream.gpg

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] DELL R320

2012-08-28 Thread Rich
The H710 should work great with the mpt_sas or mr_sas driver in OI -
you may need to add a PCI ID, but I believe it should Just Work(tm)
otherwise.

What problem are you having with the Broadcom cards? I haven't run
into any such problems.

 I made a small (read huge) mistake by ordering a DELL R320 that I
 want to use as a Openindiana host.

 I discovered that I can't install Openindiana because it lacks
 drivers for the following parts: 1. PERC H710 Integrated RAID
 Controller, 512MB NV Cache 2. Broadcom network cards

 Is there anyone who knows how to get Openindiana running on such a
 server?

 Have you tried getting the drivers from the respective part vendors?
 (LSI and Broadcom) Broadcom at least does offer driver downloads for
 Solaris.
