Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris static IP and hostname
Yes. NWAM can handle static addresses as well. I was running it using the 'edit /etc/nwam/llp' file. But with latest build, that is not working. sysidtool-net on a default install (b134) seems to run DHCP client *after* nwam has run. a quick and dirty is to add an exit 0 to /lib/svc/method/sysidtool-net to prevent this from occuring.

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris static IP and hostname
Hi, - assumes you are current a user or role that has write perms for the relevant conf files... in /etc/nwam/llp rge0 [tab] static 192.168.1.1/24 up - replace rge0 with your network interface instance, and the IP mask as appropriate. Your llp file should already have the instance with dhcp present. and for your default gateway (edit IP as necessary): echo 192.168.1.254 /etc/defaultrouter then svcadm restart nwam echo hostname /etc/nodename - may need to reboot for the new hostname to take affect.

Re: [osol-discuss] onnv 135 MIA? Skipped or delayed? (knock, knock) Is this Mic turned on?...
The BFU for b136 was made available in the past 24 hours: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b136/ (although http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/ still points to a nightly build as I am writing this post) The BFU for b135 has been available for a around 4 weeks (give or take a few days). Given previous history (the past 2 years), this *usually* means that the previous BFU release is in the process of being cut and released. However, also given the past 2 opensolaris releases, and that b134 was originally slated as the 2010.03 release, I am not expecting to see ISO / USB images releases for for anything past b135 until approx 2 weeks after the 2010.03 (or what ever this will now be called). I personally think that bug id 6924824 (and related cases) is a show stopper for 2010.03. Speculation and opinion: I think the unified storage platform (ie - 7000 series) would generate significantly more revenue that opensolaris support contracts, thus show stoppers for that platform would probably drive fixing the bug sooner, provided customers are logging support incidents as Sev1 / Sev2.

Re: [osol-discuss] onnv 135 MIA? Skipped or delayed? (knock, knock) Is this Mic turned on?...
Are you running a development build or the unified storage distro? Currently, *I believe* that the only supported release for zfs dedup was 2010.Q1 of the unified storage platform - perhaps someone else can correct me if my understanding is wrong here 2010.Q1 was only released 10th March. If you are running a dev build (which based on your post, I think this is the case - please correct me if my interpretation is wrong), I think you are very very brave running a dev build in prod... Especially as there has never been any formal support of development builds that I am aware. You do have another option though - but it will probably cost... Given you have 00's of TB of deduped data already... If this is critical to the business, and the business cannot wait, you could approach you account and engage oracle professional services to write the fix you require, particularly if no dates have been provided when a fix will be released. Again, if this is business critical, you could approach Pawel Dawidek from the BSD community - he gave a talk on GEOM at the Kernel Conf in Brisbane last year, and he seemed very knowledgeable on the ZFS code-base - he may also be able to assist, or direct you to someone who can. Internally, we have fairly good knowledge of parts of the ZFS code-base - so we may be able to assist. But our expertise is elsewhere in the ZFS code-base, and not in the dedup code. You best option will still be to approach your account exec directly Although I think my reply to the original poster re this issue being a show stopper may accelerate the natural order in the universe... I can only suggest sitting tight. Cheers, and good luck.

Re: [osol-discuss] Moving Storage to opensolaris+zfs. What about backup?
a number of apps support zfs extended attributes, but not many support backup up snapshots in a format that can be *easily* recovered (ie - as a regular snapshot of a filesystem). hopefully this will change in the future ;-) if you want to backup snapshot too, then perhaps something like: mkfifo /tmp/some_pipe zfs snapshot ... zfs send -I startsnap endsnap /tmp/some_pipe then something that is able to backup to tape from a pipe, and manage your tapes, etc - use what you are comfortable with, but not all backup apps are the same note - if changing tapes takes too long, the pipe *may* actually time out on the send side if you are not careful... opensolaris also has an ndmp service - so if your backup app support grabbing data form an ndmp enabled nas, then you may want to look into this - although, I am not sure if this metho will also grab any zvols (I have never tried the ndmp agent to be honest, this suggestion is purely speculative). recovery is a little more tricky for rpool, but other pools are basically the same...

[osol-discuss] kernel panic on zpool import
I have searched the forums and google wide, but cannot find a fix for the issue I'm currently experiencing. Long story short - I'm now at a point where I cannot even import my zpool (zpool import -f tank) without causing a kernel panic I'm running OpenSolaris snv_111b and the zpool is version 14. This is the panic from /var/adm/messages; (full output attached); genunix: [ID 361072 kern.notice] zfs: freeing free segment (offset=3540185931776 size=22528) This is the output I get from zpool import; # zpool import pool: tank id: 15136317365944618902 state: ONLINE status: The pool was last accessed by another system. action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier and the '-f' flag. see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY config: tankONLINE raidz1ONLINE c9t4d0 ONLINE c9t5d0 ONLINE c9t6d0 ONLINE c9t7d0 ONLINE raidz1ONLINE c9t0d0 ONLINE c9t1d0 ONLINE c9t2d0 ONLINE c9t3d0 ONLINE I tried pulling back some info via this zdb command, but i'm not sure if i'm on the right track here (as zpool import seems to see the zpool without issue).

I dont know where to go next? – am I meant to try and recover using an older txg? E. I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can offer advice on how to resolve this issue as the pool contains irreplaceable photos.

Whats more pkg isn't even specific to Solaris it works on other UNIX like systems and even on Windows. So it is clearly false that it requires ZFS since that doesn't even exist on all the other platforms. Don't confuse the decisions made for the OpenSolaris 2009.06 releases of only supporting and allowing install to ZFS root with the capabilities of the package system. An installer that depends on the availability of a specific root filesystem is based on a design bug. What is the reason? Is there still no pkgrm command in IPS? If Yes, then it is obvious that IPS is not yet ready for production use. See the man page for pkg: pkg uninstall [-nrvq] [--no-index] package...

Re: [osol-discuss] Auto fsck filesystems upon reboot if disk corrupt?
So here's the scenario. We have roughly 800 boxes out in various locations running OpenSolaris snv_81. There is no technical staff at these locations. Often if there's a connectivity issue, the staff will just power cycle the machine, which is not ideal. Sometimes there is disk corruption as a result of these repeated power cycles and the machine will go into system maintenance mode. Ouch. The default is for UFS filesystems to be in logging mode and ZFS always has logging. So a simple power outage shouldn't cause corruption. Are you talking UFS or ZFS? If UFS, can you confirm the filesystems don't have 'nologging' set as a mount option? I'm wondering if there's anyway to configure the OS to auto fsck the filesystem upon reboot if the OS detects the drives as being unclean, because what happens is that if the box goes into maintenance mode, we need to build a new one and ship it out to the remote location and as a result they are down for 24 hours or so. fsck can't fix everything. I'm very worried that if the log replay fails, you're going to have serious corruption. However, as with all things in the computer world, it is possible to do this (even if it may not be a good idea). The default startup action is to fsck all filesystems. But it only does operations that should be pretty safe. If things are bad enough, it stops and demands an administrator examine. The result of running 'fsck -y' at this point could be to remove valid data. If you look at /lib/svc/share/fs_include.sh, there's a section on the default fsck options. You'll see that UFS is set to -o p, which does a safe check. If you change that to -o y, it'll answer yes to all checks, even unsafe and potentially dangerous ones. -- Darren -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

You can't really add a drive to Raid-5 either (at least not in SVM). You can do it, but it's not really RAID-5 any more because the data isn't striped across the new disk. It's concatenated.

Mritun As I stated earlier I had done this already and it does not work. The switch is D-link and has 5 other machines connected one is a PS3 and all work fine. Including this machine that works fine in all but opensolaris. So go figure the opensolaris driver for Nge is not handling the card correctly, this method may have worked to give you a work around for your M2NPV, but hardly a solution. Hence the word used Rubbush for a solution or option, don't take it personally. I am very serious about moving away from Windows and hate the fact that the machine runs great on windows but not on opensolaris. THis is not a reflection on opensolaris merely a reflection of the market today. Solaris is the best operating system in the world as far as I am concerned and second rate fixes and work arounds are not appropriate. Especially if we want a development community to shift away from that aborable operating system of MS windows/Vista. Sorry ranting But this is stopping me from shifting complety onto OpenSolaris and having windows in a domU.

[osol-discuss] Veritas volumes on Global zone, best way to present to the Local Zone
I've been searching the web for some advice, but can't seem to find a definitive answer on this subject. Perhaps there's no real benefit either way. I have a Global zone with x5 local zones, each local zone has file-systems that need to be on SAN. We use VXvM to create the volumes and we need to present those to the local zones in the shape of a file system. Now we understand you can mount the volumes on the global zone and then present these to the local zones as a loopback fs (lofs), or we can just present the volumes to the local zones directly using a ufs mount. Is there a best practice ? we are using the ufs approach, but now sure if we'll encounter any issues.

I never bothered to package anything though. FWIW, I agree with the above - often # ./configure make make install is all I need to do. What I find annoying is when you use some package system (blastwave, pkgsrc, etc) to build a package as they often insist that all of the dependencies must be present rather than some - which defeats the purpose of having ./configure.

NTP adjusts the clock constantly. What changes is the poll intervals. Unless you override it, it will begin polling servers at 64 second intervals.

Pretty easy, and in fact I have it prototyped (I did the work about 2 or 3 years ago) by using a new user_attr(4) key=value pair. Users who need to access DB2 (at least, DB2 V8) must have their passwords stored with CRYPT. Or at least, whatever DB2 we are running Seems like it must have a statically compiled in version of crypt(3C) in that case. This might be able to be fixed with some linker magic. here where I work gets tripped up by anything other than crypt. Storing such a users password in md5 causes their DB2 authentication to fail. As far as I can tell, the only way to get that users password into crypt format is: 1. Make CRYPT the default in policy.conf. 2. Manually delete the users password from /etc/shadow. 3. Set the users password. 4. Now you can set the default back to md5, blowfish, etc. Step 2 is required because passwd will always use whatever hashing algorithm was last used for that password, regardless of any policy.conf settings. Not quite true, if the last algorithm is NOT on CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_ALLOW (or is on CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_DEPRECATE) and is NOT the default then it won't be used. Having a switch so I can passwd -z md5 user1 and passwd -z crypt user2 would be great, especially if it we transparent to the actual user account repository (e.g. passwd -z ssha would work with LDAP). Of usermod -K crypt_alg=md5 user1 Where the values are the algorithm names from /etc/security/crypt.conf The problem at the time when I did this was changing smc(1M) GUI to have an equivalent. The Sun policy at the time (which still stands for Solaris) is such that that work would still likely be required. Updating libc/libsecdb and usermod is pretty easy.

Providing that it is on the CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_ALLOW list or not on the CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_DEPRECATE list (only one of which can be in use). If it is not on allow or is on deprecate then the algorithm listed in CRYPT_DEFAULT will be used instead. So by default my passwd file can have all sorts of different types of encryption, and it will stay that way? It can and it may depending on the above. Is there a way to force changed passwords to be stored in a newer format as people change them? Yes. Set the policy you want for CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_ALLOW or CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_DEPRECATE and set CRYPT_DEFAULT to be what you want the hashes to move to. Then expire their password using 'passwd -f'. I read through the man pages on crypt.conf and policy.conf and it seems I can disallow use of some methods, and/or change the default method, but if both 1 and 2 above are true, I don't think that will force changed passwords to the new default? will it?

[osol-discuss] Reflections from the GSoC Mentor's summit
On Saturday, I walked over to the googleplex to attend the Google Summer of Code mentor summit. This is for all of the mentors from GSoC projects to get together and reflect on what worked, what didn't work, etc. Most of the sessions were people talking about what they worked on (which wasn't that interesting) but the standout was the security software session, led by the author of nmap. Some of the highlights in hearing about how other projects got involved with students: - GSoC led to the students becoming more involed with the projects by doing support (bug fixing, answering questions) after their GSoC project was completed and integrated; - some students have come back in successive years, building familiarity with the project, code, and becoming more of a regular contributor; - effort is required to weed out bad submitters but even when you think you've done this successfully, things can still turn out bad; - students will put participation in GSoC (for good or bad) on their resume. While I'm not sure what will be happening next year, it is likely to run again. This year I believe there were 6 to 8 submissions for GSoC projects on OpenSolaris, of which 4 were accepted. Next year we, opensolaris, should be thinking about how we can drive greater interest through GSoC, get more submissions and hopefully increase the number of acceptances to 6-8.

Better than ugen is proper modem support: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/wwan/ Already included in SUNWuacm in recent Solaris Express builds. From the man page: The usbsacm driver is a loadable STREAMS and USBA (Solaris USB architecture)-compliant client driver that provides basic asynchronous communication support for USB modems and ISDN terminal adapters that conform to the Universal Serial Bus Communication Device Class Abstract Control Model (USB CDC ACM) specification. You can download the USB CDC specif- ication from the USB website at http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/usbcdc11.pdf.

As ON makefiles allow to run something like rpcgen, it is possible to hide the dynamic stuff here. Once star is in, it would be a task of minutes to integrate more from the schily enviroment. I think you are making it harder for yourself by targeting ON. Given that you have a known working stable build environment SFW is probably a better choice. The only something should be in ON are usually: 1) it exposes a private interface to other things in ON 2) the ON build depends its source - not binaries (ON already depends on binaries from SFW and other consolidations to build) 3) it depends on a consolidation or project private interface in ON and an ARC contract isn't a suitable way to coordinate because of the complexity of a cross consolidation flag day. Replacement of something currently in ON isn't necessarily a reason. For example replacement of tar by star doesn't imply that start needs to be in ON just because tar was (unless one or more of the above also apply). -- Darren J Moffat ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Thanks to the advanced resource management tools on OpenSolaris this is actually possible: http://blogs.sun.com/darren/entry/limiting_users_to_one_login Why would you even want to do something like that??? A user can't be in two or more physical places at one time, depending on the environment having them logged in at multiple desktops units (workstation, xterminal, Sun Ray DTU etc) could be considered a security issue. You need a single user OS, non-UNIX OS for that. Windows, AmigaOS, older MacOS and the like would be good candidates. I didn't take it that a single user OS was being asked for. Instead that a multi user system be able to be configured so that a given user can login once and only once on a given machine.

And in formalising the role of SIGs in OpenSolaris, I'd like to suggest that people take pause to consider the current structure of OpenSolaris into the various communities and ask themselves if it is correct or is it just the only way to map OpenSolaris into our existing structure? In short, the current formation of OpenSolaris has largely been to fit various projects inside Sun and not to model groups of interested people. For example, why shouldn't SMF be a SIG inside the sysadmin community, as afterall, SMF is well and truely in the province of system administration. Or where would someone go that wanted to work on VFS and/or the interfaces that support filesystems in OpenSolaris? Shouldn't there be a filesystem community that brings together ZFS, UFS, CIFS, and many of the other filesystems as SIGs inside it? Why isn't there a developer community, that can be broken down into kernel development, library development, tools, build environment, etc, as SIGs?
