Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Bloody update on Repo, plus Kayak for ISO is almost beta

Hello, thanks for the new iso and your work. I tested it in Vmware (one virtual disk) without problems. Later that day I will try it in our Oracle VM system (Xen). The only thing I am missing is the selection of the keyboard layout, can this be implemented? Jens -Original Message- From:

Hi Pieter, how much disk space do you have allocated for swap? Jan On Wed, Mar 08, 2017 at 07:32:23PM +, pieter van puymbroeck wrote: > Hi, > > > I want to start 12 kvm machines in my global zone and I end up in an memlock > issue after the 6th machine: > > > qemu_mlock: have only

[OmniOS-discuss] Bloody update on Repo, plus Kayak for ISO is almost beta

If you're using bloody, please use "pkg update (-r)" to update to the very latest: omnios-master-650595c. This is a merge-with-upstreams update, with one or two other fixes to help the Kayak-for-ISO work move along. (Notably, "diskinfo" is now part of the "entire" consolidation.) More

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] qemu: too many IDE bus

Hello Nahum, My apologize in the meantime I had found the solution with changing the IDE with the virtio, the ide is indeed limit to 4 devices but now it's running perfectly thanks ;) But another question, do you have experience with adding raw devices in KVM ? Thanks in advance.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] new supermicro server

So quick google on "razor cards" came up pretty empty(lots of using a razor blade on your cpu).. I will assume that is some sort of switch? pci switch? Does latency stay in tact? Ok so I read the first part of the manual.. It looks like it has 4 nvme ports via OCuLink, which if I am reading

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] new supermicro server

We haven't used this particular system, but we had the same problem with SuperMicro Gen 9 motherboards. The solution for us on those systems was to disable BIOS loading for the particular PCI slot the SAS HBA was installed in. This was a system BIOS setting, rather than an HBA BIOS setting. It

SuperMicro SuperServer SSG-2028R-NR48N I have been looking at those too.. Maybe someone can help me understand how you can have nvme on a sata bus? I thought the benefit or primary function of nvme was that it was low latency and sits on the pci bus? It looks like these are nvme modules with

I have been using the 6037R-E1R16L for several of my builds for archive, but the 6038 is also a nice frame. It always depends on what you are doing with it. lk On 3/7/17 7:21 PM, Dan McDonald wrote: On Mar 7, 2017, at 8:16 PM, Geoff Nordli wrote: Hi. I am looking at

I would think that depending on how you're invoking QEMU (it looked like the full qemu command line was truncated from the output you pasted) it' allocating one of the 4 available IDE slots to a virtual CDROM. Depending on your guest OS you could consider using a different virtual controller for
