Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] disconnected drives, how to avoid in the future?

Martin, you can set a timeout with lsiutil, but I've found that it makes no difference, if a consumer grade disk starts trying to read a failing sector it can block a pool indefinitely. Best regards. Maurilio. Martin Frost wrote: > > From: Jason Matthews > > Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:26:08 -

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Jumpstart on OI

Hi, I want to install OI on bunch of clients by PXE. Is there a way like jumpstart on solaris ? Havent found detailed docs to setup. Any pointers would be useful. Thanks. Regards, Ram ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindi

[OpenIndiana-discuss] New to the list + SPARC & OpenSolaris

Hi everyone, I'm new to the list (and to the world of Solaris in general) but have been following OpenIndiana consistently for the past year. Now, I have recently acquired a Sun Ultra 5 (with SCSI disks! ;-) ) and an Enterprise 250, dirt cheap. I have an original box with the Solaris 9 CDs a

I also updated my stuff to work on OI_151a, though you probably did it less horribly than I did, and I also didn't post about it. Also, as I was told when I asked about such AI images for 151a, http://dlc-int.openindiana.org/151a/ - Rich On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 6:39 AM, Joshua M. Clulow wrote:

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Virtual memory problems

Hi, I'm experiencing strange virtual memory problems on an OI, and I noticed a strange swap space setup on that machine. df -h shows this: Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/ROOT/openindiana 16G 2.5G12G18%/ /devices 0K 0K 0K

Hi, I was following the wiki instruction to do an oi-build (http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Building+with+oi-build). After running the first pkg commands, arrived at the "pkg install -v package /pkg", the system requested me to boot the new BE. Infact the next command did not work. I rebooted, and

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana compatibility with AMD Llano

I found the feature set offered by the AMD A75 chipset (6x SATA3, USB3.0, 64GB of RAM) combined with an AMD A4/A6 APU to be appealing as the basis for a home-NAS. I don't see motherboards with this chipset listed in the Solaris HCL (or am not looking hard enough). Has anyone tried it? I'm looking
