Having difficulties with Samba;  can anyone help ?

# zfs set sharesmb=name=home,rw=192.168.1.0/24,nbmand=on rpool/home
# grep user /etc/group
user::100:
# smbadm create user
# grep sheila /etc/passwd
sheila:x:576:100:Sheila and other users:/home/sheila:/bin/sh
# smbadm add-member -m sheila user
sheila: name lookup failed
# hostname
world
# smbadm add-member -m world\\sheila user
world\\sheila: name lookup failed

What's this name lookup thing all about ?

If you truss that, I bet you'll see it reading an smbpasswd file.  I
also bet it has no password entry.

You were right but it's still not working.  I followed http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19082-01/820-2429/configureworkgroupmodetask/index.html and it all went straightforwardly:

	root at world:/home/common# vi /etc/pam.conf 
	root at world:/home/common# passwd sheila
	New Password: 
	Re-enter new Password: 
	passwd: password successfully changed for sheila
	passwd: SMB password successfully changed for sheila
	root at world:/home/common# smbadm join -w workgroup
	After joining workgroup the smb service will be restarted automatically.
	Would you like to continue? [no]: yes
	Successfully joined workgroup
	root at world:/home/common# ls -tlr /var/smb
	total 26
	drwxr-xr-x 3 root sys     3 Oct  5 01:20 cvol
	-r-------- 1 root sys     0 Oct  5 01:21 osmbpasswd
	-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 10240 Dec  1 16:06 smbgroup.db
	-r-------- 1 root sys    45 Dec  2 07:17 smbpasswd

but the client still won't connect.  Using the command line version:

	C:\wherever> net use Q: \\world\home\sheila /user:sheila ******** /persistent:yes
	System error 5 has occurred.

	Access is denied.

	C:\wherever>

and the same for "\\world\home" and "/user:world\sheila" combinations.

On the server:

	root at world:/home/common# smbutil view //sheila at cortex
	Password:
	Share        Type       Comment
	-------------------------------
	c$           disk       Default Share
	home         disk       
	IPC$         IPC        Remote IPC
	vss$         disk       VSS

	4 shares listed from 4 available

Although the hostname is world, the interface is cortex,192.168.1.1 --- is that relevant ?

Not really.  I've seen bigger, and if you are running with 2 parity, the
only other logical config is 4 data drives + 2 data which means a 33%
overhead which is ridiculous.

I've booted up the KVMs now, fixed a few network configuration issues, done
some more testing, and found this (iperf server is running on the VM):
------------------------------------------------------------
Server listening on UDP port 5001
Receiving 1470 byte datagrams

Note:
*Y* is on my local network connected over gigabit LAN and getting 29%
packet loss
*Z* is the *host* and is getting 59% packet loss

This is clearly NQR ... host to VM transfers should not get any packet loss.

Going from the VM is even worse:

This is the 100mbit-speeds on gigabit ethernet, that I was mentioning
before.

In my further experimentation, I've found that this appears to be caused by
the virtio network device - when using e1000 emulation, it all works much
better.

So what switch was on the other side of the aggregation? Port

Dell PowerConnect 5448 (the one with iSCSI acceleration), so nothing cheap
or dodgy.

My experiments over the last few days show it to be tied to virtio, no
issue with e1000 emulation, so this is consistent.

The problems with virtio could be either the Solaris KVM implementation, or
an issue with the virtio drivers in my guest (Linux version 3.2.12-gentoo
(root at slate) (gcc version 4.5.3 (Gentoo 4.5.3-r2 p1.5, pie-0.4.7) ) #1 SMP).

Now I'm off to do a rebuild of the guest kernel, to see if that fixes the
virtio issues ... if so, then it's just an issue with that Linux kernel
version that I was using and therefore easily fixed.  If not, then there is
a pretty significant issue with the Illumnos KVM virtio ethernet, with a
workaround being use e1000 instead.  This is still not ideal though ...

I believe you are using the kernel cifs, not samba.

Hi Benjamin

Is your package repository still up?  I'm getting timeout errors trying to
add it in.

To that end, yesterday I made http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/DevEnv
which has a code block you can copy/paste to get the same set of
packages that the build system enforces.

Great, thanks. I might be misremembering, but I thought the last stable 
I installed already had the linker included (dunno if that was 
intentional if so).

Yeah this is because of the accidental gcc44 dependency:
http://omnios.omniti.com/ticket.php/42

The gcc44 package depends on developer/linker.

Ah, ok, I wasn't certain they were related. Already fixed then...

Just wondering if you'd had any chance to make progress on this? I'd 
like to get this working, and if I could take advantage of work you've 
already done towards that end that would certainly be nice :)...

Johan,
We are not aware of any download issues.  The ISOs are hosted at one
of our production datacenters.  I have successfully downloaded it to
my workstation in our office as well as to my home server.  If you
continue to have trouble downloading, perhaps someone in Europe would
be willing to mirror it for you?

We have many users in Europe and no one has yet reported the kind of

fine.

I'd like to try a bit of virtualisation.  So:

	root at world:~# qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm
	open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory
	failed to initialize KVM: Not owner

Not a good start.  Make sure the bits are installed:

	root at world:~# pkg list kvm
	NAME (PUBLISHER)                                  VERSION                    IFO
	driver/virtualization/kvm                         1.0.3-0.151005             i--
	system/kvm                                        1.0.3-0.151005             i--

The machine is a Sun Fire X2250 which has an Intel Xeon E5405 CPU, which according to http://ark.intel.com/Products/VirtualizationTechnology does the necessary VT architecture.  So what is required to create /dev/kvm ?

The convention we use is 25% of physical RAM for each of swap and dump
volumes.  When I say "volumes" I mean ZFS volumes (zvols) not physical
storage volumes.  So you should have that much space plus at least a
few GB for headroom.  The default install (excluding swap/dump
reservations) occupies ~700MB on disk.

Thanks Paul.  Now:

	root at world:~# add_drv kvm
	devfsadm: driver failed to attach: kvm
	Warning: Driver (kvm) successfully added to system but failed to attach

That warning is a 'bad thing' and AFAICT from searching, means that there's something wrong with the hardware, or similar.  Any ideas ?

The E5405 is a Harpertown Xeon (based on Penryn), which only has VT-x 
and not the necessary EPT capabilities to be able to use illumos KVM. 
The Intel ARK website is a liar, and claims that all VT-x CPUs have EPT 
-- only Nehalem-based Xeons have this capability. There has been some 
work to enable illumos to use KVM with pre-EPT Intel chips, but it 
currently crashes at startup of a VM and is as yet unuseable. So I'm 
afraid you're stuck without KVM on your current hardware, at least for now.

Regards,
Alex.

I should amend this -- only Xeons based on Nehalem _or later_ 
microarchitectures have this capability. Sandy/Ivy Bridge and the 
upcoming Haswell are all fine too. Just not Penryn or earlier.

Oh.  Thanks Alex.

I had similar problems with an X4200 which runs an AMD 2220 CPU, so is that similarly afflicted ?

AMD CPUs are not currently supported at all by Illumos KVM, however the 
same patches that enable pre-EPT support also enable support for them. 
The code for newer AMD CPUs (with the equivalent of EPT) is reasonably 
stable, but older AMD CPUs such as the Opteron 2220 (which is K8-based) 
crash in a similar way to pre-EPT Intel CPUs (it's basically the same 
code that runs in both cases).

For anyone who's interested in trying it out, it's Joshua M. Clulow's 
code at https://github.com/jclulow/illumos-kvm -- I have a more recent 
rebase of it on top of Joyent's KVM branch (which should still work with 
OmniOS just fine) at https://github.com/arekinath/illumos-kvm

Please note the warning about setting fire to your cat, it very well 
could! :)

Hi Johan,

I made a torrent of the current stable ISO.  I'll seed from my office (>100mbit) for a few days, but also configured the main download link as a fallback webseed.  Since your bittorrent client will catch any transfer/hash problems caused by network troubles you'll be able to get clean download and any interruptions foul ups won't require retransferring everything.

  Howdy!

       I am considering using OmniOS for a ZFS storage backend. I currently
have installed OpenIndiana, but now think that OminiOS may be a better
choice. A quick question - Are there OminOS packages for lighttpd and rsync
in repositories so that I can just do "pkg install lighttpd" ?  I couldn't
find
any?? or do I have to build packages locally?

    thanx - steve

Hi Steve,
There is an rsync package in the official OmniOS repo, though it isn't
installed by default.  There is a lighttpd package in the
ms.omniti.com repo ("omniti/server/lighttpd").  See
http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/Packaging for repo details.

Note that the ms.omniti.com repo is not an officially-supported part
of OmniOS.  We use those packages internally in our operations, and
leave them open for public use, but we don't offer any type of support
if you choose to run them.

Someone else may have set up a repo for their own build of lighttpd,
and there's also the pkgsrc route, if that's interesting to you:

And don't forget opencsw as well, these packages tend to be more out of the box ready than those on ms.

For example, apache in ms still needs a lot of configuration before you can get it up and serving pages.

OpenCSW still uses SVR4 packages.  OmniOS ships the SVR4 tools
(pkgadd, etc.) but there is no integration between SVR4 and IPS
packages.  OpenCSW tends to be pretty self-contained, so it shouldn't
be too much of an issue, but realize that you now have two different
lists of packages that are totally unaware of each other.

It's pretty difficult to ship a config that works for everyone. ;)
Apache is a complex app.  If you just want to serve some static files,
there are easier ways (like lighttpd!) If your needs are more complex,
more knowledge will be required to configure things appropriately.
That's natural.  Also note that ms.omniti.com's Apache features DTrace
integration that isn't available in mainline Apache 2.2.  :)

That said, the build system is open too, so if you wanted to offer
your own IPS-based Apache build with what you feel is a good starting
config, please do.  I would like to build out the list of available
third-party IPS repos at http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/Packaging ,
so anyone willing to share their repos, please email me off-list and
I'll get them added.

Eric

As an example, the ms.omniti.com apache has all of its directories
configured to /www/... as the starting point, with a whole bunch of
subdirectories off that, none of which are created in the install package,
and none of which are documented in any guide on 'what to do next to get up
and running' - so you have to go through the config file itself and figure
out what it's expecting, examine the logs to find out why it isn't starting
up, etc...  It also expects depends on other packages that aren't available
/ installed (like the logrotate stuff) that you have to comment out before
it will start ... the service isn't installed automatically, so you also
have to find the xml file and import that into SMF manually.

Similar story with MySQL from ms.omniti.com as well...

Not a massive criticism, it forces me to learn how it all fits together and
why it doesn't "just work" ... but also, it doesn't "just work" ...

For me, a basic functional configuration out of the box would be fine ...

What would be nice is a simple way to get the basic webserving components
installed and functional without too much effort - i.e. Apache / PHP /
MySQL.  Or even a howto guide ...

hi all

thanks for the help with mc and nano to have napp-it on OmniOS
I have now fixed the perl problem and finished a first developer preview of my napp-it Web-GUI 0.9 that supports OmniOS

you can install the developer preview as root with the following command (not yet fully tested)
wget -O - www.napp-it.org/nappit09 | perl

more
http://www.napp-it.org/downloads/omnios_en.html


If you have comments or discover serious problems, you can send an email to community at napp-it.org
The first 0.9 nightly for everyone is planned end of the year.

      I put lighttpd.conf in /etc.

      This will probably not satisfy the Solaris guru's 100% but it
works for now until these files are in the pkg contents.

We are considering moving our storage boxes

What do you guys normally use/ recommend using for such setups?

Same thing on OI.

   How do I find out which package a file comes from? Or more

Hi Steve,
First, I think there is not such utility as "top" in OmniOS. I remember
discussion about amount of resources "top" is using, with recommendation to
avoid it, at least in production, when resources can be already scarce. Use
instead "prstat": installed by default, aware of zones and
lightweight-processes, and much more efficient!
About searching files and packages, see "man pkg". For example, to find
which package owns prstat utility, "pkg search prstat". Or, for example,
"pkg search -r :file:basename:prstat", for looking in remote repositories
for packages with "prstat" as the basename of the file to be installed.

Hi all,

I caught the tail end of someone on IRC discussing this a week or so
ago.  I find myself trying to do something similar.  Here's the
scenario:

# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 z2
# zonecfg -z z1 export | sed 's/z1/z2/g' | tee /tmp/z2.config
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/z2
set brand=ipkg
set autoboot=true
set limitpriv=default,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user
set ip-type=exclusive
add net
set physical=z2
end
# zoneadm -z z1 halt
# zonecfg -z z2 -f /tmp/z2.config
# zoneadm -z z2 clone z1
# zlogin z2
# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.1.1.102/24 z2/v4address
ipadm: Could not create address: Object not found

Workaround:

ifconfig plumb z2 && ifconfig z2 10.1.1.102 netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.1.1.255 up

It'd be good to not have to workaround.

Of course this also isn't persistent across a zone reboot....

I think you have missed "ipadm create-if" before "ipadm create-addr". There
should be "ipadm create-if z2".

I'm not convinced that's needed.  It certainly isn't needed when
creating a zone from scratch, and the Solaris 11 docs don't state that
it is required.  At any rate it doesn't make a difference.

Here's a step-by-step process.  If people are interested in trying to
reproduce this (and of course fix it), follow these steps:

1) Create a vnic for an example zone

root at omnios:~# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 c1

2) Create the zone

root at omnios:~# zonecfg -z clone1
clone1: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:clone1> create
zonecfg:clone1> set zonepath=/zones/clone1
zonecfg:clone1> set brand=ipkg
zonecfg:clone1> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:clone1> set limitpriv=default,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user
zonecfg:clone1> set ip-type=exclusive
zonecfg:clone1> add net
zonecfg:clone1:net> set physical=c1
zonecfg:clone1:net> end
zonecfg:clone1> commit
zonecfg:clone1> verify
zonecfg:clone1> exit

3) Install the zone

root at omnios:~# zoneadm -z clone1 install
A ZFS file system has been created for this zone.
   Publisher: Using omnios (http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/release/ ).
       Image: Preparing at /zones/clone1/root.
       Cache: Using /var/pkg/publisher.
Sanity Check: Looking for 'entire' incorporation.
  Installing: Packages (output follows)
           Packages to install: 388
       Create boot environment:  No
Create backup boot environment:  No
            Services to change:   4

DOWNLOAD                                  PKGS       FILES    XFER (MB)

        Note: Man pages can be obtained by installing pkg:/system/manual
 Postinstall: Copying SMF seed repository ... done.
        Done: Installation completed in 178.089 seconds.

  Next Steps: Boot the zone, then log into the zone console (zlogin -C)
              to complete the configuration process.

4) Configure the zone

root at omnios:~# zoneadm -z clone1 boot
root at omnios:~# zlogin clone1
[Connected to zone 'clone1' pts/4]
OmniOS 5.11     omnios-33fdde4  2012.10.04

5) Halt clone1

root at omnios:~# zoneadm -z clone1 halt

6) Create a new vnic for the machine we're going to create by cloning

root at omnios:~# dladm create-vnic -l bge0 c2

7) Create the zone config for the new machine

root at omnios:~# zonecfg -z clone1 export | sed
's/clone1/clone2/g;s/c1/c2/g' | tee /tmp/c2.config
     $
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/clone2
set brand=ipkg
set autoboot=true
set limitpriv=default,dtrace_proc,dtrace_user
set ip-type=exclusive
add net
set physical=c2
end

8) Create the new zone

root at omnios:~# zonecfg -z clone2 -f /tmp/c2.config

9) Clone the first machine to the second machine

root at omnios:~# zoneadm -z clone2 clone clone1

root at omnios:~# zoneadm list -vc | grep clone
   - clone1           installed  /zones/clone1                  ipkg     excl
   - clone2           installed  /zones/clone2                  ipkg     excl

10) Boot the new machine

root at omnios:~# zoneadm -z clone2 boot

11) Attempt to configure networking on clone2

root at clone2:~# dladm show-link
LINK        CLASS     MTU    STATE    BRIDGE     OVER
c2          vnic      1500   up       --         ?

root at clone2:~# ipadm create-if c2
ipadm: Could not create c2 : Object not found

root at clone2:~# ipadm show-if
IFNAME     STATE    CURRENT      PERSISTENT
lo0        ok       -m-v------46 ---

root at clone2:~# ipadm create-addr -T static -a 10.1.1.152/24 c2/v4address
ipadm: Could not create address: Object not found

I think this may be an issue with zone cloning that may well be unique
to OmniOS.  We had to make some changes to the ipkg brand clone
script, since we've ripped out all traces of sysidcfg.  The upstream
ipkg clone uses sysidcfg elements to do initial configuration in the
new zone, which doesn't work since we don't have sysidcfg anymore.  We
implemented changes to cloning for r151004 (**), though it seems there
may be more work to do.

Hi All

Was illumos-joyent ever considered as a base for OmniOS? All the fun stuff seems to appear there first.

I think with some minor tweaks it could be used as a replacement for the upstream illumos-gate based tree.

Cheers,

Andrzej

It is my impression that OmniOS is meant to be a rock-solid server OS, so
getting the latest and greatest "fun" stuff is probably less important than
getting things that are stable.  Joyent has the benefit of knowing where
and how they are going to deploy SmartOS, so some features they add are
meant more for that environment, rather than everyone else.  I personally
use SmartOS and OmniOS in a professional sense and although SmartOS has
some really amazing features which make it an amazing hypervisor, it also
seems to ship more bugs each release than I would hope for from a server
OS.  I've been bit many times with features that clearly don't work and
appear to not even be tested in the slightest.  Again, I use SmartOS and
like it, and I can't speak for OmniTI, but from my point of view, I'm glad
OmniOS is based on illumos-gate and not illumos-joyent.

You'll also need to remember that there's no live migration or
suspension of zone processes.
For those that need more resiliency, it's better to focus on
application level loadbalancing and failover than depend on the
underlying infrastructure for help. This is the approach that Joyent
adopt, and also one which lends itself to horizontal scaling (where
you add more zones over a number of boxes).

Message-ID: <CAHBEJzU_Ex2XTiEfZkyY+7hnRjtVd_8wUy7bTNoxLZxQH6CsFw@mail.gmail.com>

hi,

The installation went ok, but omnios hangs on boot. I see the splash
image, but after 20 minutes nothing happens.

Can I see where it is hanging? In linux I can hit escape and see all
kernel messages during boot time but this is apparently not working
for me on this omnios stable virtual installation.

The kvm host is centos 6.3, this is a hp microserver n40l, granted,
not the most powerful cpu around, but so far I have been able to run
all the os I have tested (from linux to windows and freebsd).

Sorry, no live migration of individual zones in Solaris 11 either.
Zen, LDOMs or VirtualBox VMs only.

Of course if Solaris11 with zones is running in a VM or LDOM and it is
migrated, all the zones in the OS are migrated as well.

Here is the documentation stating that there is Cold migration only :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18440_01/doc.111/e18415/chapter_zones.htm#autoId34

Implementing Zone Live migration would be similar to KVM/Xen live
migration in terms of implementation - perhaps even more. This would
be something that folks like Jerry Jelinek and others at Joyent would
be able to comment on and implement (he is a leading Zones developer).

Hi Theo,

I missed out on this. Could you make a zfs snapshot available for
download, please ? This would save a lot of time, and would be a
useful way of distributing package repos.

Thanks.

Hi Naxto

Maybe I am chasing a similar problem. We experience extremely slow GRUB disk I/O (strace shows that reads are done in 512 byte chunks only) starting with qemu-kvm-1.0 (Ubuntu 12.04).

You can trace down the culprit by entering the GRUB shell upon boot and issue the GRUB commands manually:

bootfs rpool/ROOT/omnios
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,disable-ehci=true,disable-uhci=true -v
module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive

In our environment, entering the last line above (loading the boot_archive) suddenly takes about 10 minutes! During that time you only see a blinking cursor.
Then you can issue "boot" and the startup process runs at normal speed. (BTW: the "disable-ehci=true,disable-uhci=true" options prevent the nagging "No SOF Interrupts have been received, this USB UHCI host controller is unusable." warnings. Has nothing to do with the problem at hand.)

We didn't experience this problem with qemu-kvm-0.12.3 (Ubuntu 10.04). And it turns out that the problem is not OmniOS specific either: we have the same issues with Solaris 11 (we are migrating from Sol11 to OmniOS right now).

To see what's going on during boot, you can comment the splashscreen, background and foreground directives in /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst (given, the system boots at all ...)

As a workaround we also converted the boot_archive from an UFS disk image to an ISO image, reducing the boot lag from 10 minutes to 2 minutes:

# install mkisofs
% pkg install cdrtools

# update-archive creates an ISO image, as soon as mkisofs is found in the PATH
% bootadm update-archive -v -f


Regards,
Thomas Werschlein

update

Problem:
- When installing the napp-it web-UI with the nappit09 installer on Omni 
stable, you get errors about the modul Tty.so within napp-it


Reason:
The precompiled binaries of Expect that were created with the bloody 
release are not working on stable
The binaries compiled with the stable release work on both.

The current installer and napp-it 0.9 from today cares about the difference
please rerun the wget installerto fix the problem

I would say that Joyent is making some interesting progress in the realm of
Illumos. I'll note that (as Jared said) Joyent's product vision highly
differs from ours.  Joyent adds things into Illumos to service needs and
use-cases that our customers should never really have... if they had those
needs, they should likely be running SmartOS.

That said, I follow the illumos-joyent tree very closely and try to
integrate things that would be particularly applicable to generic
enterprise workloads.  We do have joyent-specific deviations from
illumos-gate within OmniOS.  I foresee us having stuff from Delphix pulled
in as well.  If there is a specific Joyent feature you think we'd benefit
from, please bring it up on this list and we'll look at what it would mean
to integrate it.

There are often changes in Joyent's tree that I believe will be pulled into
illumos-gate eventually and I'm happy to fast-track those into our tree as
(based on history) the final integration will be trivial to replace into
our tree.

Johan,
Root zpools for zones is only available in Oracle Solaris 11.  It is
not something that illumos-based OSes can provide, though it sounds
like a nice feature.

Sriram,
I've created a ZFS send stream file of the release repo as of the most
recent interim update, r151004f.  It is available from
http://omnios.omniti.com/media/pkg-repo-r151004f.zfs.bz2 and has the
following checksums:

md5 (pkg-repo-r151004f.zfs.bz2) = 5e8eec7e81e35b908f207f85a2d2c36d
sha1 (pkg-repo-r151004f.zfs.bz2) = fc0b3640bf904e727f7c5669caa89887bb31652a

You should be able to bunzip it and pipe it into a zfs receive on your
system.  The stream is from a version 28 zpool, so virtually any
illumos-based system should be able to receive it.

Let us know if you have trouble with it.

Eric

Since Oracle's additions to Solaris 11 are not open-source, the only
way to implement this feature would be a completely separate
implementation; "from scratch", as it were.  If someone really wants
it, and they have the skill to pull it off, then maybe it will happen.
 Such is the way of open source. :)

Zones are lightweight virtualization, so they have deeper dependencies
on the host system than do hardware-virtualized solutions.  This makes
them trickier to move between hosts, but with some discipline it can
be done.

The source and destination hosts must be running the same OS version.
This should both match both between the hosts and between the
destination host and the non-global zone being moved, but does not
have to.  An upgrade-on-attach procedure is used to compare the
attaching zone's packages with the host system, and will attempt to
synchronize them.

A quick summary of the procedure is that you shut down the zone on the
source system and detach it (zoneadm -z <zonename> detach).  You
relocate the zone's storage to the new host, which in your case is to
move the FC LUN.  Then you copy the zone configuration from the source
host to the destination host (zonecfg -z <zonename> export -f <file>,
then zonecfg -z <zonename> -f <file>).  At this point you have a
configured zone on the new host, and you attach with upgrade by doing
'zoneadm -z <zonename> attach -u'.  You'll see output on the attach
operation's progress and whether it succeeds or not.

They tend to "just work".  :)

It was just a random idea I had the other night. I think it would be interesting if there was a traditional distro based on illumos-joyent around. illumos distros come and go - who knows what 2013 will bring us :)

From what I can tell, majority of the commits to illumos-joyent are not Joyent/SmartOS specific. Many of them are actually fixes any distribution could benefit from. There is a number of kernel panic fixes which are not in the illumos-gate yet for example.

Cheers,

Andrzej

Good to know.  I suppose most of the things they add for their cloud are
not changes to the kernel, but to the userland apps and their read-only
global zone files anyway.

Hi,

I have 8 disks in Raid0 in Dell Poweredge R820.  It has Perc H710 raid
card. When I tried to install latest Omnios,  it fails with below error.
It fails to recognize any disks.

"OmniOS cannot be installed on any disk"

Any pointers on how to get drivers fixed and install OmniOs ?

Hi Ram,
I believe the H710 is a Dell-branded LSI 2208-based card.  Support for
the 2208 is a recent integration in illumos
(https://www.illumos.org/issues/3178), so can you try the unstable
("bloody") ISO instead?  I believe the fix for issue 3178 didn't
integrate until after our most recent stable release.

I  have downloaded a driver from below and want to include it in a  ISO -

to use virtio rather than emulated ide and e1000
make a guest cdrom:

wget https://github.com/joyent/smartos-vmtools/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd smartos-vmtools-master
pkg install cdrtools
./bin/build-image
mv cache/smartos-vmtools*.iso ..

change the master script for -drive if=virtio and include a boot and guest cdrom
leaving the e1000 so the install will find the internet. Windows will not see
any disks, so you do the "have disk" driver options and navigate to
smartos-vmtools/windows/drivers/viostor/Win7/amd64 to install the driver, then
windows will see its disk and you begin the install.

once fully installed, right click on cdrom
smartos-vmtools/windows/drivers/NetKVM/Vista/amd64/netkvm.inf
and select install.. bring the guest down and change -net model=virtio

There is a stunning increase in disk performance, but I haven't tested the
network or overhead difference yet... but it works:

Just in time for Christmas, OmniOS weekly release r151004h updates the git
package with a full set of man pages.  Git's documentation is written in
AsciiDoc, which imposes a large set of dependencies, which in turn means
support overhead and system bloat, all for little additional benefit.  We
now build git man pages on a separate system and include them in the final
package.

Subject: [OmniOS-discuss] Mount NTFS USB under OmniOS
Message-ID: <20121225013249.271130@gmx.net>

Hi All,

 First of all, I've been using OmniOS stable Home for the last few weeks on a HP Microserver NL36 (8GB RAM). It's performing very well, but I'm still getting used with the OS. I've been using Solaris for a good few years so I'm not that rusty...

 Now, I was trying to find out how to mount the USB (Iomega eGo 500GB, NTFS), but there's no guidelines on how to make my life easier. The intention is to mount some of my USB devices and copy the data to my zpool.

 If any of you could help me with some guides and also if there's any option to add it as an automount (kind of like Linux does), let me know please.

 Thank you very much in advance and Happy Xmas ;-)

 Cheers,

Apologize in advance for this, I haven't filed a bug report in years, and
I'm entirely useless with Solaris.

System is a Supermicro SC-847 Chassis, 36 2TB drives, LSI 9265 for the

HBA.

zpool was originally created under ZFSOnLinux 0.6.0-rc13, which is
filesystem version 5, pool version 28.

After installing OmniOS Bloody 20121107,  I attempted to do a zpool import
Storage

Error:  Assertion failed: rn->rn_nozpool == B_FALSE, file
../common/libzfs_import.c, line 1086, function zpool_open_func from omnios

zpool crashed, and dumped an 9mb core.

I then booted FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE (supposedly) and was able to import the
pool.

errors: No known data errors

The only two issues I can maybe think of, is OmniOS may not like the one
drive being GPT?, and the array was in the middle of a scrub before I
exported it from linux, However FreeBSD Doesn't seem to have an issue with
either of these things.

The only thing I did after installing OmniOS, was log in, configure my
network, then attempt to zpool import Storage. /dev/dsk looked like
http://pastebin.com/huVBqrvH. I tried one mailing list post of mv /dev/dsk
/dev/dsk-old and same for rdsk, then restart some service, but the issue
persisted.

It will take a but more to understand the issue, but that assertion
indicates that zfs was unable to read the configs(labels) off the vdevs.
 And, it's a crappy error message *I think* due to a but in error handling.
 However, there is an open illumos ticket about GPT support.  It is unclear
if it is unsupported completely or just in boot scenarios.  If there is a
complete lack of support, that would explain the issue.

That seems to be the same problem like with Pools, created in FreeBSD:

*Problem Pools FreeBSD -> Solaris:*
If the disks were created in FreeBSD with GPT partitions (which FreeBSD 
recognizes but Solaris doesn't),
you cannot import to Solaris.

Only pools with disks formatted with GEOM can be exported from 
FreeBSD/FreeNAS/ZFSGuru and reimported into Solaris
I do not know what options ZOL offers for partitioning.

Howdy!

     I installed OmniOS and added a couple of users with useradd and
home dirs in /home. When I rebooted they were gone. df -a
shows that something called auto_home was mounted
on home. So I unmounted /home and of course the home dirs
are now visible.. I found a file /etc/auto_home that had
an entry in it and commented it out. Now boots ok... so

   Why did /home got mounted? Is this expected? What is
the correct way to deal with this?

I ended up with the common approach of creating per user zfs file systems
under /export/home, modified /etc/passwd to reflect this, and moved on.

I'm busy moving the Belenix infrastructure from openindiana to omnios, so I
didn't invest to much time in this since /export/home where user home
folders are usually kept in the illumos world.

Message-ID: <20121230123953.127260@gmx.net>

Hi Steve/Sriram,

 I've used the "auto_home.sh" provided by OmniTI (you can get it from the link below), and I changed the mount point of my "/export/home" from "rpool/export/home" to "mypool/export/home" (obviously, after creating the zfs fs/mount points), then removed the "rpool/export/home".

 Now, all my users are under my zpool and if I add a new user, a new zfs mount point is created (again, thanks to the auto_home.sh changes).

http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/GeneralAdministration#Users 

 If you have a look at the script, you can get easily what its doing.

 I hope this helps...

 Cheers,
 Fabio

Subject: [OmniOS-discuss] Mount NTFS USB under OmniOS
Message-ID: <20121230124635.127260@gmx.net>

Hi All,

 Sorry for the "SPAM" to the other lists, but I'm just trying to find a solution for this. I didn't want to compile a ntfs-3g module on my machine, because maybe there's already something ready for it.

 I believe this would be useful not only for NTFS USBs, but for any kind.

 Any help will be appreciated ;-)

 Cheers,
 Fabio

Betreff: Mount NTFS USB under OmniOS

Hi All,

 First of all, I've been using OmniOS stable Home for the last few weeks on a HP Microserver NL36 (8GB RAM). It's performing very well, but I'm still getting used with the OS. I've been using Solaris for a good few years so I'm not that rusty...

 Now, I was trying to find out how to mount the USB (Iomega eGo 500GB, NTFS), but there's no guidelines on how to make my life easier. The intention is to mount some of my USB devices and copy the data to my zpool.

 If any of you could help me with some guides and also if there's any option to add it as an automount (kind of like Linux does), let me know please.

 Thank you very much in advance and Happy Xmas ;-)

 Cheers,

Because that?s what auto_home tells it to do.

Yes. This is how Solaris has worked for many years. In a commercial environment the automouter is your friend. The benefits may not be so clear for personal use.

This would be a good place to start: http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/4120-Less-known-Solaris-Features-exporthome-home-autofs.html

Hi Fabio,

I'd suggest the easiest (and I use the term loosely) way to do this
would be to bring up a Linux VM and, assuming it's supported, pass
the raw USB device through to it. You can then mount your zpool via
NFS from the global zone.

I'm using SmartOS, and vmadm(1m) seems to imply that the -usb and
-usbdevice are supported through qemu_opts. I'm not sure what value
you would use for -usbdevice as it's normally host:VendorID:ProductID,
and normally you can find these from /sbin/lsusb on Linux - not sure
of the equivalent in Solaris land.

Hope that helps.

Did some digging - use prtconf -v and look for storage and USB. The usb-product-id and usb-vendor-id are shown in the hardware properties section below it.

Message-ID: <20121231085013.e588c731709f58fcfae8d01a@landcroft.co.uk>

I'm trying to nail down extremely poor NFS and even local disk access.

Sun Fire X2250, dual SATA 7200 RPM 250 GiB, thus:

	root at world:~# zpool status
	  pool: rpool
	 state: ONLINE
	  scan: resilvered 180G in 3h19m with 0 errors on Sun Dec 30 16:01:08 2012

	            c4d0s0  ONLINE       0     0     0

	errors: No known data errors

Even that resilvering looks slow to me.  Now I know this isn't a definitive test but

	dd if=15GiBVDIfile of=copy bs=10240k

copies at 9.7 MB/s.  Surely that's around 1/6th of what it should be ?  That's in either the global or a child zone.

That last message up there sums it up.

This is the system's perl runtime.  If you are building an app, I'd suggest
using non-system perl.

There is only one perl runtime, so perl 5.14.2 and perl 5.16.1 cannot be
installed at the same time.

Hope this clears things up.

Given the error message, it looks like you are trying upgrade from 151004
to 151005.  This is an upgrade, not an "install"

Nevertheless, before the next stable release, we will need to work out a
suitable upgrade path for the system perl packages.  I imagine we'll need
to use the pkg.renamed property to allow an upgrade to move the perl
packages over.  Additionally, we should stop embedding the Perl version in
the package name.  That would present fewer barriers to upgrade (and is, in
fact, how we operate our non-system version in ms.omniti.com).  IIRC we
simply carried forward the "perl-<ver>" naming convention from OI.  Since
we only need/want a single system version of perl, it doesn't make much
sense to continue that convention.

Thoughts?

Ram,
You may not need to rebuild the ISO just yet, although maybe you have since
your last message... Sometimes a driver may work fine for a given device if
it's similar enough to others that are already supported, and all that's
required is to get the driver to bind to the new device.  The
update_drv(1M) command is what we use to modify driver configuration.
 There are lots of examples on the web, but it would probably go something
like:

update_drv -a -i 'pciNNNN,NNNN' mr_sas
update_drv -f mr_sas

Where NNNN,NNNN is the pci vendor ID and device ID.  You can get those by
picking through the output of 'prtconf -pv' and looking for a string like
'Serial Attached'.  I took a quick look at our pci.ids file for the 710
specifically:

# gzgrep H710 /usr/share/pci.ids.gz
                1028 1f30  PERC H710 Embedded
                1028 1f31  PERC H710P Adapter
                1028 1f33  PERC H710P Mini (for blades)
                1028 1f34  PERC H710P Mini (for monolithics)
                1028 1f35  PERC H710 Adapter
                1028 1f37  PERC H710 Mini (for blades)
                1028 1f38  PERC H710 Mini (for monolithics)

That might give you a leg up.  I've also made a note to add the lspci
utility to the ISO and Kayak miniroots, since that's useful in cases like
yours.

Michael,
The SATA ports on this system appear to be operating in
legacy/compatible/IDE mode (note the lack of a "t" section in, e.g.
c3d0s0).  Disk performance in this mode is pretty poor.  It would be
preferable to have the SATA ports in native/AHCI mode, but in the case of
the rpool that will change the device names and leave you with an
unbootable system.  You can 1) backup and restore your system after
switching the SATA mode to native/AHCI, 2) just do a fresh reinstall after
switching modes or 3) attempt to fix up the various places where the device
paths are embedded (these paths are what change when the mode changes).
 For #3, see
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2011-July/049175.html for
hints.

Eric

If you build from the r151004 branch (assuming you don't need/want bloody,
which is the master branch), perl-5142 should satisfy the dependency.
