Running SunOS 5.11 snv_134 I’m testing OpenSolaris as a potential NAS solution for our Windows users to provide storage via CIFS. I’ve installed and then patched OpenSolaris on an HP DL380 G5 using the cpqary3 drivers. I’ve an LSI SAS3801E connected to a JBOD of 24 disks and created a RAID-Z zpool using 3*7 raid groups. The only device driver issue I could find with the install was the HP ILO card which I couldn’t care less about – I’ve since disabled it. All firmware is the latest including the LSI. The disks are Seagate 1TB SAS - ST31000640SS.
No problems adding to AD. Idmaps wildcarded to local (solaris) users and smbautohome config works fine. Using the correct chmod to set the acls and no problems there. I’m aware of the issue with the base install hence my need to upgrade. (http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=118670&tstart=105) I’ve been copying a fair amount of data (about 20TB) to this server over the last two weeks and observing the metrics – especially the 4 port network aggregation using LACP which is new to me. All seemed to be working well. I'm doing snaps and creating/deleting zfs. On at least four occasions the server has become completely unresponsive to anything other than pings – no ssh or console access. I’ve needed to switch off the server to get it back. Nothing obvious (to me at least) is in the logs and there are no cores I can find. I’ve already posted in the cifs discussions and it was suggested I post here. (http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=128634&tstart=0) Some advice would be appreciated. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
