Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI 151 with C206 motherboard: missing drivers?

2012-02-08 Thread David Wragg
Thanks Andrey, that's the impression I'm left with. Any idea whether
that's likely to remain the case indefinitely? I'm unclear on OI's
likely pathways for hardware support.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] How do I debug this?

2012-02-08 Thread Gary Gendel

Hi,

I've got a service set up via svc and within a few days it crashes.  
Even though fmd it says it dumped core I can't find it anywhere.  I even 
added a cd into a directory and expected the core to go there, but no 
go.  When I run it using the startup script outside of svc, it runs 
fine... No crash after several weeks. So, it probably is something 
particular to the svc running environment.


FYI, The service is a smtp TLS interface into qmail:  sslserver [args] 
smtpfront-qmail [args]


What I'd like to do is get a core when it crashes so I can get debugging 
information. Thanks.


Gary

The easy way is to use `coreadm' to set up global core dumps.
/var/core is a good place for these.  See the man page for details.

Thanks.  I'll give it a go and see if I get a core file.  Interesting 
that I have per-process core dumps enabled but this one just didn't show up.

It is long shot, but check how much space you have where your core dumps 
supposed 
to go. Your root pool may have limited space. 

Also, the visibility of core dumps has security implications, they could be 
inaccessible 
unless you are looking as root.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Event Ports performance

2012-02-08 Thread Rakesh Vidyadharan
Hello,

I have been trying out a few event ports based servers and libraries, and have 
been seeing very poor performance.  I am running the latest OI distribution.  
For eg. Nginx from opencsw maxes out at about 10K pages/second on OI running on 
Parallels Desktop on MBP.  Apache 2.2.15 from the dev pkgs gives me about 22K 
pages/second (the default it works pages for both).  As a reverse proxy or 
fastcgi server, the performance difference is even bigger - more than 5x slower 
than Apache.

I tried the simple http server sample from 
http://arekzb.wordpress.com/2008/04/27/lighttz-a-simple-and-fast-web-server/ 
along with libev (I tried changing between select, poll and ports in his 
source), and got only about 400 requests/second for serving very short text 
from memory.  My own Poco C++ based servlet container implementation gives me 
about 6K requests/second serving much larger volume of data, and not from RAM.  
The Poco HTTP server implementation is a traditional thread/select system.

In particular I wanted to know about a couple of items I learned from the libev 
documentation, and as to what the status is as relates to OI.

http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.pod#SOLARIS_PROBLEMS_AND_WORKAROUNDS
 - mentions patches that need to be applied to get proper event ports 
performance.  The package manager did not list any patches available for my 
system.

The note about EVBACKEND_PORT on the same page mentions that event ports is 
really slow but scales very well.  I can replicate the really slow part :-)

Has anyone noticed the same type of issue with OI?  Any recommendations on 
patches or other settings that I can try?  Or, is it a case of nginx, libev 
etc. not using the event ports framework properly?  I have used only the FEN 
part of the event ports framework directly, but that is never going to generate 
large volume traffic to slow down anything.

Thanks
Rakesh

[OpenIndiana-discuss] switching from IR to IT mode on a LSI SAS2008 card

2012-02-08 Thread Geoff Nordli
I have a Supermicro X8DTH-6F with a built-in SAS2008.

I thought it was just an HBA, but when I went to update the firmware
on the card it told me it was setup as IR mode.

I plan on flashing it to IT mode.

Anything I should be aware before I do this?

thanks,

Geoff

I did it on the same board without problems.

Thank Yuri.

Was there an existing zpool setup on the card?

Another note, this is on the same card where I had some "disconnects"
from a drive.  I would assume there is no connection around a card
misbehaving and having it in IT mode; especially when most of the
errors were coming from a single drive.

No. I reflash controller to IT before setup any pool.

We do not have any errors here.
I think it may depend on hardware.
We use Supermicro 846E16  case and Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 drives.

IMHO you have well solution (Intel SASUC8I card) - at least while OI 
doesn't support your on-board adapters.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Resilver restarting on second dead drive?

2012-02-08 Thread Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk
Hi all

On this server, I had a drive dying on me, and the spare kicked in. I replaced 
the drive, detached the spare and "zpool replace"d the original dev, waiting 
for it to resilver. When this was almost finished (say, 2 hours left), a second 
drive died, the spare kicking in and resilver restarting. zpool status now 
showed resilver having been running for a few minutes, and more time to wait 
for salvation.

Would it be possible/easy/good to change this behaviour to make zpool carry on 
resilvering the initial devices instead of restarting the whole process? 
Restarting it renders my system more vulnerable for a longer time (with two 
drives out of a RAIDz2), and also renders my nerves a bit more shaky, neither 
of which is beneficial.

All the best

roy
