[OpenIndiana-discuss] LSI 3GB HBA SAS Errors (and other misc)

2011-12-01 Thread Ryan Wehler
During the diagnostics of my SAN failure last week we thought we had seen a backplane failure due to high error counts with 'lsiutil'. However, even with a new backplane and ruling out failed cards (MPXIO or singular) or bad cables I'm still seeing my error count with LSIUTIL increment. I've

Ok, so I changed the -vnc to so use an outside world accessible ip: -vnc :01 And now I connect. So it looks like it was ssh. But oddly, when I use netcat to create a server, I can tunnel to it just fine: netcat -l localhost 5901 ^ works fine with ssh tunnel. This moves me forward, but I really

Hi, I've got Ubuntu booting under kvm and now I'm trying to vnc into it in order to install it. I've got an ssh tunnel going through to localhost:5901 which the kvm-qemu vnc server seems to be listening on, ie the port opens with telnet. When I try to connect to the vm with vnc no window comes up
