After that you can enable the rootfs dataset and get the loader or grub to boot it up, and probably fiddle with various /etc/ files to address hardware changes. Otherwise, quite doable - I've done a fair bit of dual-booted systems with OI in a partition so it can run both as a native OS and as a VirtualBox from another OS (one at a time of course, and have to import-export rpool with firefly recovery image or a liveusb, to address storage device paths change), and systems set up initially in VBox and then expanded to physical hardware, and the opposite too. So while you can have some adventure on the technical side, the general approach certainly works, both ways.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] cloning an OI system to VDMK
If I zfs send into the distro-const that I just installed on virtualbox can the source server keep running and do I have to livecd boot the VM I am moving the pool to or can that be up while I send the pool?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] cloning an OI system to VDMK
My old hardware is dying and I want to move my system to a virtualized environment. I have been digging for ways to do this but I am not sure if I am starting to get frustrated.

It is only a single rpool (file storage is NFSed in from another box). Any suggestions? zfs send the rpool to the new virtual machine I made using distro-const? Will that even work being the rpool and all? is there some super easy dd way that I am missing?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] CIFS and openindiana
Seems pretty straight forward to me now that I did it. I like that its management is part of zfs and besides the little hiccup with that pam.conf mod and having to 're-enter ' your password it was all a pretty good experience. Feels like a couple of little changes (include the missing package in the initial install, and include the pam.conf mod from the beginning) could make it a very easy way to share drives with windows. Would you like to share your drives with windows? zfs set sharesmb=on /pool /it's that easy! If people were interested they could delve deeper for filesystem stuff and abe etc but none of that would be necessary.

Most of the instructions I find are either oracle telling me to make a pool from scratch or samba specific. Do I need to do that or can I use the existing pool? You should be able to use the existing file system. There are some issues with respect to the expected case matching rules for CIFS, but as long as you don't play games by creating files that differ only in alphabetic case, you should be fine. The short answer is that you need this in /etc/pam.conf: other password required pam_smb_passwd.so.1 nowarn and you then need to change the password for each user who will use the CIFS shares. You can change it to the same password as it is now. The important part is that the change process itself will cache information that CIFS needs in order to do authentication. The above is a one-time issue on a system. Once you do it, it's set. I suspect that you've already solved this part, but another one-time issue is enabling the smb server. svcadm enable -r smb/server should do the job. You may want to join a workgroup with smbadm join -w workgroupname.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Anyone using OpenIndiana in production?
My systems are extremely stable but the load is low. Web server serving perl/mysql based databases for pretty active sites, flawless since the day I converted from solaris 10 to OI (139 days up at the moment), that is an old Sun x2200m2. A sunray server running on a Sun v40z, 4x2.8ghz dual-core opterons and 32gb ram, which is also a failover for the webserver and runs nightly backups which are spread around to all three. Again flawless, up 124 days. My file server is an old Sun Ultra20m2 with 8gb ram, a 3.2 ghz AMD (not the original chip), with 2tb of ZFS mirrored space in it, and a high end gamer video card from maybe 2 years ago. That is also my desktop which I do coding, word processing, email, Pandora, videos, music player, etc. etc. etc. Flawless, up 168 days. Oh and the occasional game of Urban Terror. I lock em all down pretty tight. The only outside facing machine is the webserver and I have scripts monitoring the 3 ports open for bad people. As soon as it sees something it doesn't like the IP is locked out entirely (ipfilter). I only bring em down to update to the latest OI release. Which was probably 168 days ago (I always test them on my desktop first). On 03/27/13 08:27 AM, Edward Ned Harvey (openindiana) wrote: From: Gerry Weaver [mailto:ger...@compvia.com] I have been checking out OpenIndiana as a possible file server and KVM host. I have several sites using OI for samba, dns, and VirtualBox. As far as stability is concerned, yes it's stable. But it's not amazingly mature (see below). Others have said that some of the packages are sort of not greatly maintained, and lack configuration. I needed to configure bind and samba from scratch by hand, which was a huge pain. I actually built some linux VM's just to get their default config files and copy them over to OI and destroy the linux guests. I would like to run dhcp from OI, rather than running it from a linux guest. But I never got dhcp working on OI, so I still have the linux dhcp guests just for this purpose. I recommend the latest 4.1.x version of VirtualBox, which was super awesome and stable. Unfortunately I updated to 4.2.x, and it's still very buggy. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss -- Dr. Daniel Kjar Assistant Professor of Biology Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Elmira College 1 Park Place Elmira, NY 14901 607-735-1826 http://faculty.elmira.edu/dkjar ...humans send their young men to war; ants send their old ladies -E.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI Crash
I have had this issue and it turned out to be a power supply with too little power for the 6 hard drives stuffed into my ultra 20. Removed 2 drives and everything was fine. The drives were perfectly fine. The other time I have run into this is when I would lose a required nfs mount (like a home drive). Good luck. The time I had a reset every 14 days turned out to be a problem with the server rooms ups sending me a 'shutdown' message every two weeks. Switched ups and that disappeared.

Locks up completely and needs a hard reset. Not very much fun. Whenever I've seen this type of behavior before, it was hardware/driver related, but we never were able to narrow it down to *which* piece of hardware or driver, by any method other than blindly swapping out hardware. I'm not talking, necessarily, about failing hardware. Just some sort of incompatibility bug. On one system, we greatly reduced the incidence of crashes by disabling the on-board broadcom NIC, and buying the intel server PCIE NIC instead. Likely candidates are the storage controller, and network adapter.

So I am overloading the CPU's, but as long as they're not all assigned to a single guest, they seem to load balance well. Virtualbox disk performance is poor if you're using vdi. (IMHO.) So instead, wrap a raw device (zvol) in vmdk file. It works much better. All guests have guest additions. Nothing special was done for CPU usage (default of 1 CPU).

Description:
R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language
developed at ATT Bell Laboratories. It provides support for a
variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true
computer language which contains a number of control-flow
constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to
add additional functionality by defining new functions. On
platforms which support the dlopen (3) interface, Fortran and C
code can be linked and called at run time.
R is very close to S in both syntax and semantics, but is not identical.
Whether this is a bug or feature is an open question.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [developer] Re: Memory usage concern
I have this problem with any VM running on either Sol10 Nevada, Opensolaris, openindiana. I have the ARC restricted now but for some reason, and 'people at sun that know these things' have mentioned it before when sun still existed, when something needs a big devoted chunk of ram, zfs fails miserably at giving up its cache. If I don't limit the ARC, a few days of even a single VM running causes the system to start stalling. With the ARC limit, everything is peaches. This is on a system with 4 dual core processors and 32 gigs of ram.

You can have the same kind of problems with any Illumos-based distribution if you activate a zone and let the machine just sit there for a week or so or have a lot filesystem activity using mmap(). Either way the machines will choke themselves to memory starvation. The only workaround we found are regular reboots (every 24h), or limit the ZFS ARC to an absolute minimum. I don't think you understand. My proxy tier does almost no reads from the file system. There is no content on the server. OK, sorry then. Same symptoms, different cause, albeit it's so bad that it makes the OS virtually unusable for any serious work. Ced This whole discussion sounds bizarre to me. I have a Solaris 10 Update 1 system with over a dozen zones with UFS with 8 Gig RAM and don't experience these types of issues. We reboot once a year, whether we need to or not. This is my limited understanding... - UFS basically consumes all unused memory for paging, without ever telling the OS, but releases it to OS processes when memory is needed. UFS does not tell the OS that it is using the unused memory as buffer cache, so you never know it when you check for your memory usage. - ZFS basically consumes all unused memory for ARC, but tells the OS when it is taking RAM. The ZFS ARC is supposed to give back memory when there is pressure to do so. You always know how much memory is really being used when you check your memory usage. I had issues in the past where disk I/O started to go through the roof, on UFS filesystems, when the free memory was getting below 4 Gig of RAM... a sure sign the apps were starving the invisible UFS buffer cache. I don't really understand how applications can be starved by ZFS unless ZFS can not give back the buffers (lots of constant full-table scans?) Has Illumos developers really confirmed such a ZFS bug, where it is not returning memory to the OS? This just does not sound right, to me.

Hi Alex, this extra step indeed only required on the SB2500.
And maybe it was only caused by my cheap JLDS (or what it was,
manufacturer as reported by Joerg's cdrecord) DVD+R 4.7GB disks, with
the cheap label Kaufland.
I had no other media anymore, will re-test the SB2500 Red and Silber
(both behave identically) tomorrow, with other vendor's DVD's.
There is a full gcc environment available, correct?
I compiled /usr/sfw/bin/gcc and /usr/gcc/4.4/bin/gcc from
consolidation oi-build.
As I wrote yesterday somewhere, I was required to add an auto-applied
patch that changes the ./configure command line to include
--disable-multilib. Otherwise gcc doesn't compile on SPARC. However,
so nice so good. But this cause OS/Net or Illumos to fail instantly.
The solution is hidden in the special diffs that Sun used since
Solaris 10. But at the first place I had believed, a distro like OI
would years ago have included them And secondly I was under immense
time pressure, so I didn't look where we can get these diffs (or if
they are in the open at all). So I just kept it like that, for now.
Because, and here it comes: The LiveDVD does include /opt/onbld,
/opt/dtbld and /opt/SUNWpro with Studio12.1 !
So you can still compile a lot of software, even that which requires
multilib support to be present in the compiler.
And the most famous example of such a src tree is OS/Net Illumos. To
build that customize illumos.sh to disable shadow compilation.
How large are the IPS
package repos so far, Martin? If I could get a howto on building
packages
for IPS, I might be willing to help compile some software and publish
it. :)
Hmmm, thanks Alex.What shall I respond to this?
#0.) The difficulty lies not in compiling the code.
As you see all the consolidations are already built, and copied over
to the 11GB LiveDVD (clofi gzip-6 compressed less than 4GB).
The problemm is also not building a repo when skipping dependency
resolution.
#1.) As I wrote yesterday, the best IPS repo documentation available
is on openindiana.org.
Go there! And save a copy before they may shut down the servers or
whatever.
It is excellent inside information that is available there.
Eric Lowe has a substantial share in that work!
Your help is really appreciated.
And we SPARC users can and will somehow work as a community.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Mitigating the performance impact of scrub
I see the same on my file server when I scrub the home pool. I can't do it when users are on as it slows down quite a bit. That is just the file server, the users are running off a devoted 8 processor machine with 32gb of ram, the file server just serves them their home folders but the I/O must be considerably slowed for requests from the users. Openoffice and firefox and rhythmbox, all of them get hit hard during a scrub so I assume it's anything that is asking the fileserver for disk access (nfs).

It's possible that I'm just wrong about this. The only case where I've seen NFS entries in /etc/vfstab was with mount-at-boot set to no. (And since the introduction of ZFS, I don't really put much in vfstab anymore.) In any event, I think automount provides an easier-to-manage solution. And unlike some other operating systems, it actually works reliably on OpenIndiana. But regardless of mounting mechanism, I don't think I'd consider using NFS for anything under /etc. It sort of defeats the point of that directory to have anything remote there. Even if I'm sharing configuration between machines, I set up rsync to keep them up-to-date, so that a failure (or unreachability) of the NFS server doesn't cause otherwise-independent machines to fail. -- Dr. Daniel Kjar Assistant Professor of Biology Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Elmira College 1 Park Place Elmira, NY 14901 607-735-1826 http://faculty.elmira.edu/dkjar ...humans send their young men to war; ants send their old ladies -E.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenSolaris on SPARC
Hi Martin, hate to pester you but I just got my two 1.2 ghz chips in my sb1000 and was trying to put an old version of opensolaris on it (to hold me over till OI) and it can't find drivers for any of the video cards during install. I have tried xvr1200,xvr100, and an old expert/elite 3d (not sure which). Is this to be expected? I have never tried to put open solaris on it before.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenSolaris on SPARC
minutes to prepare a LAN installation resource from a stashed SXCE snv_129_sparc image, and boot the T2000 from the network, into single user mode. OpenSolaris found nothing suspicious about the data pool and the rpool, imported and exported them without complaints. While at the rpool, we deleted the /etc/zfs/zpool.cache file to allow the system to boot its Solaris 10. It booted, but also hung at subsequent zpool import -R / pool request - in the same way: no iostat operations to report, and no errors in the logs... Back to the networked boot of OpenSolaris, where we imported the data pool, destroyed the remaining old uncompressed datasets and completed the renaming of compressed datasets to take place of those ones, transparently to the zones and other consumers. This did unclog something, so the Solaris 10 image did afterwards quickly import the pool and happily uses it today. Yesterday the old OpenSolaris SXCE for SPARC did save the day. I can easily imagine hitting some bugs in ZFS that were fixed after the last SXCE release, where a hypothetical OpenIndiana for SPARC image would be able to save us - even if it is not (yet) used as the everyday OS for the box.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] can't mirror these disks
This is not good news. I guess i will do the send and move to the newer disk and get another new disk for that mirrored pool.

Does anyone know how to override this sector alignment issue? Apparently, only by creating a new rpool on the 4KB drive and zfs-sending data to it from the 512b drive. The idea was discussed in detail a few times in the past few weeks on this list and/or on zfs-discuss. What is strange to me is the news that ZFS would refuse to attach a 512b disk as a mirror to a 4KB TLVDEV (the rpool). I did not test this myself, but it sounds like a bug - a 512b disk should certainly receive 4KB writes safely and quickly (the opposite is not necessarily true) ;) Did you certainly test that it doesn't work? If so - I think some noise is due on the lists ;) Also, for a bit more safety against data corruptions on a single-disk rpool, you might want to use copies=2 (or =3) and rewrite the data to the pool (i.e. zfs-send|zfs-recv within the pool) - in this case the userdata blocks would be cloned like metadata is, and corruption (or mis-read) of a single sector would not cause big problems. Saved me on my home NAS quite a few times - nearly every scrub finds a few CKSUM errors on the old root disk :) HTH, //Jim Klimov ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss -- Dr. Daniel Kjar Assistant Professor of Biology Division of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Elmira College 1 Park Place Elmira, NY 14901 607-735-1826 http://faculty.elmira.edu/dkjar ...humans send their young men to war; ants send their old ladies -E.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Server hangs weekly
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?

Best regards, Milan On 22.02.2012 07:32, oimlt...@skidde.net wrote: 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=2001000849UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff00 e1000g0: flags=1040843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DEPRECATED,IPv4 mtu 1500 index 2 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ff00 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=2001000849UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL mtu 8232 index 1 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff00 e1000g0: flags=1040843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4 mtu 1500 index 2 inet 192.168.10.10 netmask ff00 ether [MAC address here] lo0: flags=2001000849UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL mtu 8252 index 1 inet6 ::1/128 e1000g0: flags=20002004841UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv6 mtu 1500 index 2 inet6 fe80::225:90ff:fe50:2c2a/10 ether [MAC address here] Any ideas/suggestions on where to go from here?

I'm somewhat afraid of using Intel hardware, especially on the internet, due to the bios and network hardware security issues that OS's can't prevent. OpenBoot is far more powerful than typical x86 bios. It would be nice to have a Niagara dev box, for multi threading development. How portable is Openindiana, from what I can tell it's intel only? How easy is Openindiana to build, do you think there would be enough interest in a sparc port? Or perhaps an ARM64 port? Arm seems to have much greater economy of scale and could displace x86 the same way x86 displaced the big Unix vendors (well actually it was more like top brass knee jerk reactions, like Alpha's untimely and premature death). Unlike Intel, anyone can license arm (or sparc for that matter, but ARM has the numbers). If Openindiana was to support ARM64 some time in future, now would be the time to start, while hardware vendors are looking to enter new markets. Cheers, Peter.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI friendly external drive
interesting. I am not sure what the box is (either usb2 or 3) but the system is attached to a usb1 only machine. I think the ultra20 is usb1 as well. On my machines the disk shuts off automatically if the system goes down so I assume the fact that the box shuts off in a minute or two after being hooked to the machine (via usb) that all contact through the usb is closed by OI.
