Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZVOL (et al) /device node access rights
I can only answer on the first question: Apart from inconveniences discussed above it is stable. In my case I'm using FC based volumes (COMSTAR), directly as raw LUN's and as zvol's.

According to Edward, block devices yield better performance than VDI files for VM disks. A VM can be executed by an unprivileged user, and thus the device node needs to be RW accessible to that non-root user (whom and why to trust - that's the admin's problem, OS should not limit that). So, the problem detected with ZVOLs (and I expect it can have a wider range on other devices) is that the ownership of the device node for a zvol is forgotten upon reboot or other pool reimport. That is, the node used by a VM should be chown'ed upon every VM startup. That's inconvenient, so to say. I played more with this and found that I can also set ACLs with /bin/chmod on device nodes, and that is even remembered across reboots, however with /dev/zvol/*dsk/pool/vol being a dynamically assigned symlink like /devices/pseudo/zfs@0:4(,raw) there is a problem: the symlink and device node is created when I look at it (i.e. upon first ls or another access to the /dev/zvol/... object), and the device node occupies the first available number. The /devices filesystem seems to remember ACL entries (but not ownerships) across reboots only in conjunction with its object names, so upon each reboot (reimport) of the pool, the same device node name can get assigned to different zvols. This is not only useless in terms of stably providing access to certain devices for certain users, but also harmful as after a reboot an unexpected user (among those earlier trusted) can gain access to incorrect devices (and might even enforce that somehow, by being first to access the device at the correct moment) and cause DoS or intentional illicit access to other users' data. So here is the picture as is. I am not sure what exactly to ask, so I guess it's a call for opinions on how the situation can be improved, in terms of remembering correct ownerships and ACLs for those devices (not nodes) that the rights were set for, in order to both increase usability and security of non-root device access. In the particular case of ZVOL devices, I guess attributes can be added to the ZVOLs that would hold the POSIX and ACL access rights and owner:group info (do people agree that is a worthy RFE?). For non-zfs devices like local disk or iscsi or USB - I am not sure if the problem exists the same way (not tested) or how it can be addressed if it exists (some config file for devfs?)

I'm not using that chipset, but as the next step, you could try booting with more logging on. Clear out the graphics parts from grub and add the kernel options as below. 'e' allows you to edit a line. You'll want the section to look similar to below (hoping my VBox setup is similar enough): kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -s -v -k module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive then hit 'b' to boot from the modified entries. -s means single user mode; -v means verbose, and -k means kernel debugger land if something does bomb.

Hi to All new to Solaris and Illumos based, Openiniana :) I hope you will find many benefits in using Solaris / Illumos based systems but you _really get to know what you will get with it's benefits_ and where it shines comparing to other platforms.

List of Illumos distributions: http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos/Distributions Those benefits include open source engineered Kernel with ZFS on the upstream, Light virtualization with Zones, network virtualization with crossbow, KVM integration, DTrace for live server debugging, better hardware scalability, binary compatibility of applications between releases, stable driver ABI, boot environments/snapshots,IP2 mutipathing/Load balancing, role based access control, etc. Openindiana is Illumos based distribution, with IPS packaging as continuation of Opensolaris and is made of mostly same user space packages as Solaris11, plus OI additional IPS publishers/repositories.

That is incorrect.

It looks like both must be loaded, usb_as lies below usb_ac, which is the control interface for user applications.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Only one SSD detected on expander
Hi all, I'm new to the list and OI, but I've been running a Solaris box with some version of ZFS on it for a couple years. I recently acquired a Supermicro 6047R-E1R36N. It has an X9DRi-LN4F+ motherboard, dual E5-2620s and 48GB of RAM. I soon learned that I needed a different HBA (it comes with an LSI 2108-based card that doesn't have any JBOD passthrough mode), so I replaced that with an LSI SAS9211-8i, flashed with the latest IT firmware. Being new to SAS expanders (which this server has two of), I quickly learned that some older 2TB drives I had on my older Solaris box simply will not work reliably on the expander. (They would very quickly lock up the entire file system once the load got heavy.) However, I've had much better luck (so far) with some newer 3TB SATA drives (Seagate ST3000DM001). I'm still not convinced that these are going to be reliable in the long run, having now read about a few SATA-on-SAS expander horror stories (and my own experience with the 2TB drives), but this isn't a production system (yet) so I'm willing to see how it goes. But the one problem I can't seem to figure out are the Samsung 830 SSD drives I have for ZIL and ARC. I have 2 mirrored 128GB 830s as the boot pool, but they're on the built-in SATA ports, not the expander ports. Then I have four other 128GB 830s which I installed into 3.5 hot-swap adapters and these are the ones causing problems. The HBA sees the drives just fine—they're listed during POST and I can access them via the card's built-in BIOS. But once OI (151a5) is up and running, it only sees ONE of the 830s. And here's where it gets weird: if I remove all but one of the SSDs from the expander ports, it will see whichever one SSD is connected—it does not matter which port the drives are on. Also, regardless of the port, the attachment path always seems to be the same in the OS. It's like the OS thinks all four drives are the exact same physical drive. $ cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c6 scsi-sas connectedconfigured unknown c6::es/ses0ESI connectedconfigured unknown c6::smp/expd0 smp connectedconfigured unknown c6::w5002538043584d30,0disk-pathconnectedconfigured unknown -- this is the SSD c6::w5000c500513a0efe,0disk-pathconnectedconfigured unknown c6::w5000c5005168b2f0,0disk-pathconnectedconfigured unknown c6::w5000c5005169a612,0disk-pathconnectedconfigured unknown c6::w5000c5005169cc6a,0disk-pathconnectedconfigured unknown c6::w5000c500515199bd,0disk-pathconnectedconfigured unknown c6::w5000c500517042d9,0disk-pathconnectedconfigured unknown c8 scsi-sas connectedconfigured unknown c8::es/ses1ESI connectedconfigured unknown c8::smp/expd1 smp connectedconfigured unknown c9 scsi-sas connectedunconfigured unknown sata0/0::dsk/c4t0d0disk connectedconfigured ok sata0/1::dsk/c4t1d0disk connectedconfigured ok sata0/2sata-portemptyunconfigured ok sata0/3sata-portemptyunconfigured ok sata0/4sata-portemptyunconfigured ok sata0/5sata-portemptyunconfigured ok $ format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c4t0d0 ATA-SAMSUNGSSD830-3B1Q cyl 19932 alt 2 hd 224 sec 56 /pci@0,0/pci15d9,626@1f,2/disk@0,0 1. c4t1d0 ATA-SAMSUNGSSD830-3B1Q cyl 19932 alt 2 hd 224 sec 56 /pci@0,0/pci15d9,626@1f,2/disk@1,0 2. c7t5000C500513A0EFEd0 ATA-ST3000DM001-9YN1-CC4B-2.73TB /scsi_vhci/disk@g5000c500513a0efe 3. c7t5000C5005168B2F0d0 ATA-ST3000DM001-9YN1-CC4B-2.73TB /scsi_vhci/disk@g5000c5005168b2f0 4. c7t5000C5005169A612d0 ATA-ST3000DM001-9YN1-CC4B-2.73TB /scsi_vhci/disk@g5000c5005169a612 5. c7t5000C5005169CC6Ad0 ATA-ST3000DM001-9YN1-CC4B-2.73TB /scsi_vhci/disk@g5000c5005169cc6a 6. c7t5000C500515199BDd0 ATA-ST3000DM001-9YN1-CC4B-2.73TB /scsi_vhci/disk@g5000c500515199bd 7. c7t5000C500517042D9d0 ATA-ST3000DM001-9YN1-CC4B-2.73TB /scsi_vhci/disk@g5000c500517042d9 8. c7t5002538043584D30d0 ATA-SAMSUNG SSD 830-3B1Q-119.24GB /scsi_vhci/disk@g5002538043584d30 This last one is the SSD.
