Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Good Solaris-friendly system vendor

I would like to add another recommendation for Silicon Mechanics. They are always happy to work with me when I mention that my new server must work well with OpenIndiana. I don't know if they will ship to the EU, but I don't see why they wouldn't. Bonus for me pers

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Static IP configuration problem

I like using ipadm to setup static addresses too. Except that it is hard because last time I checked in OI b151, there is still no man page for ipadm. https://www.illumos.org/issues/559 2010-12-19 Things like man pages that were present in older OS releases are missing. I'm baffled as to why thi

Lucas, thank you for your ideas. For over a week I looked at the entirety of iostat's output, including asvc_t, %b, %w as you have suggested. Nothing in the output seems to be able to explain the transfer speed slowness we started experiencing. I'm also completely aware that I can keep adding log a

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Brainstorming for OpenIndiana server

I have OpenIndiana running on several machines. On one of them, I'm using OpenIndiana b148 as my main operating system, storage server and virtual machine host all in one physical machine. It does have dedicated ZIL and L2ARC devices to increase performance. I'm using VirtualBox 4.0.x as my virtual

[OpenIndiana-discuss] write speeds faster with no ZIL and L2ARC

Hi, *Problem:* write speeds are faster when no L2ARC or ZIL is configured. *Our current setup:* We are currently running OpenIndiana b148 (upgraded from b134.) Supermicro X8DTH-i/6/iF/6F, single Xeon E5504, 24GB ram. A single, main storage pool is running pool version 28, populated with 12 WD RE

Yes, I have tweaked the block sizes on my virtual box guests zvols to get the desired performance. there are two factors that you may want to look at: > > 1) block size. files default to a 128K allocation block size, while > zvols default to 8K. > > 2) check the "sync" property; the zvol may be

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox on OI

Sorry, somehow that got sent too early there, I'm running VirtualBox 4.0.6 on OI b148. I'm using sparse zvols for storage, rather than .vdi's. I'm very happy with the performance. (dedicated ZIL and L2ARC devices help a lot) I'm taking snapshots using ZFS for these vbox machines. All has been work

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Setting up rsync server - can't enable the service

Sorry I'm not able to offer any assistance, as I have not needed an rsync server on OI just yet. However, I tend to view running a rsync daemon as one of those things that is a core component of an operating system. If OpenIndiana is to become a viable choice for people to turn to in the world of o

Recently, (about 2 months age) I had terribly experiences while testing a PCI and PCI-X cards that both used sil3124 chipsets. It seems that the driver is in serious need of an update to work with these cards properly. You can create pools and file systems, but don't try to move any data larger th

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS pool slow as molasses

If it's not too late already, my suggestion at this point is to go back to ide mode in the bios, boot the machine and rsync your data to another physical machine through the network, then do a clean install of openindiana with your bios set to ahci mode, create new pools, then rsync your data back

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Kernel panic after upgrading to OpenIndiana

Sorry you are having trouble. Just a couple probing questions to open up everyones mind. Before I forget, make sure you have burned a OS b134 live cd and a OI b147 live dvd before you do anything. The first thing I would try is booting into your b134 BE. Then export all the pools besides rpool.
