[00:36:04] <[JT]> rootard - I put up an improved XenServer template of NCP here:  ftp://linode.jdthomas.net/nexentacp2_rc1-xs5.zip
[00:36:40] <[JT]> It creates a smaller disk, includes default passwords, and includes a script to help update the system on system upgrades.
[00:38:00] *** mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
[00:38:31] <[JT]> Oh - it also includes a "failsafe" ramdisk (the miniroot from the installation CD, but with the i86xpv kernel included).
[00:39:20] <[JT]> That last point makes it a little bit bigger by about 65MB.
[00:40:41] <rootard> [JT]: oh, awesome! I'm mirroring it to the same place now
[00:41:01] <[JT]> Cool - thank you.

[01:44:40] <[JT]> Thanks rootard_away!
[01:52:04] <[JT]> Anyone know if there is a package in NCP that includes the xenstore commands for VMs?  I'm particularly interested in xenstore-read;  I want to be able to determine the UUID of the VM from within the VM.  On an OpenSolaris domU, I can issue a "xenstore-read vm" and it spits back my UUID.

[02:25:12] <[JT]> Looks like I need SUNWxvmdom or SUNWxvmdomu.  apt-get says that sunwxvmdomu should be around (it's required for sunwxvmipar and sunwxvmipau), but the domu package is broken.
[02:26:03] <[JT]> Neither sunwxvmipar or ipau will install because they depend on domu
[02:26:37] <[JT]> And domu is a "virtual package".
[02:26:39] <[JT]> <sigh>

[09:49:21] <MrSteveman1> i'm not, but i might help :)
[09:49:44] <mib_gqdxlkj3> hopefully .. that would be great because I'm frustrated to install nexenta on our hardware
[09:50:00] <mib_gqdxlkj3> here is what I wrote befor you joined: 	i'm very frustrated install nexentastor 1.17 on our hardware .. everytime I try to install I got CD-ROM: discovery failed
[09:50:16] <MrSteveman1> at boot?
[09:50:23] <mib_gqdxlkj3> I found in faq to set  in grub -B ata-dma-enabled=0
[09:50:41] <mib_gqdxlkj3> yes if i boot install cd everytime the error occurs
[09:51:14] <MrSteveman1> does the cd boot on any other machines?
[09:51:30] <mib_gqdxlkj3> yes I tried it on second machine, works fine
[09:52:08] <MrSteveman1> whats the machine
[09:52:12] <MrSteveman1> just random x86?
[09:52:24] <mib_gqdxlkj3> x86 intel board
[09:52:35] <mib_gqdxlkj3> 64bit support
[09:52:41] <MrSteveman1> hm
[09:53:03] <MrSteveman1> have you ever booted solaris on it
[09:53:12] <mib_gqdxlkj3> short moment please .. my boss has a question .. 5min ok?
[09:53:41] <MrSteveman1> ok
[10:00:28] <mib_gqdxlkj3> i'm back
[10:01:13] <mib_gqdxlkj3> system is an intel SE7520JR2
[10:01:31] <MrSteveman1> motherboard, or you have one of intels servers?
[10:01:58] <mib_gqdxlkj3> build to order .. board support 64bit
[10:02:04] <MrSteveman1> ok
[10:02:14] <mib_gqdxlkj3> http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/se7520jr2/sb/cs-020163.htm
[10:02:55] <MrSteveman1> you're certain you put the grub option in the right place?
[10:03:39] <mib_gqdxlkj3> the grub option seems to be included by default .. when I type e i see the parameter .. then I go to 2nd line and this contains the parameter
[10:04:08] <mib_gqdxlkj3> one moment I will start it on my desk (I have vmwareworkstation and will go to boot menu
[10:04:18] <mib_gqdxlkj3> and check if the parameter 100% isthere
[10:04:19] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ok?
[10:05:05] <MrSteveman1> ok
[10:06:36] <mib_gqdxlkj3> i choose install nexenta via keyboard / montior .. here i type e
[10:08:17] <mib_gqdxlkj3> row 1: root(cd)
[10:08:34] <mib_gqdxlkj3> row2: kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0
[10:08:51] <mib_gqdxlkj3> row3: module$ /platform/i86pc/miniroot
[10:09:08] <anilg> try this.. goto first line.. and press e again.. type in 'root (' and hit tab for tab completion
[10:09:15] <anilg> that will list all identified devices
[10:09:51] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ok and then?
[10:09:58] <anilg> if you dont see a CD there.. then it's an issue of grub not being able to identify your CD
[10:10:15] <anilg> what are the listed devices?
[10:10:33] <mib_gqdxlkj3> i have to go to serveroom to check this
[10:10:40] <mib_gqdxlkj3> i found one thing too
[10:11:05] <mib_gqdxlkj3> parameter in grubb seems to be different:-B ata-dma-enabled=0 ..
[10:11:17] <MrSteveman1> that should be for other IDE devices
[10:11:21] <mib_gqdxlkj3> in raw2 -Batapi-cd-dma ...
[10:11:50] <anilg> mib_gqdxlkj3: that comes later.. parameter passed to the opensolaris kernel
[10:12:07] <anilg> if I understand oyu correctly.. it isnt going that far.. and grub is failig at root(cd)
[10:12:30] <mib_gqdxlkj3> I got everytime error: cd-rom discovery failed
[10:12:44] <mib_gqdxlkj3> it's an ide
[10:13:07] <anilg> Hmm.. Does the blue grub screen come up?
[10:13:29] <mib_gqdxlkj3> yes grub comes up .. and i can edit grub loader settings
[10:13:45] <mib_gqdxlkj3> shal I try what mrsteveman1 suggest?
[10:13:57] <anilg> Does the kernel boot initially.. with lines like SunOS or opensolaris?
[10:14:39] <mib_gqdxlkj3> yes .. it seems to be booting and I see in the bottom opensolaris 2008 .. and nexenta ... elatte_install .. then error occurs
[10:15:09] <MrSteveman1> kernel message should be at the top no?
[10:15:23] <mib_gqdxlkj3> äh sorry .. yes at the top ;)
[10:15:52] <MrSteveman1> you could try ata-dma-enabled=0 instead
[10:16:16] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ok i will try it and will be back in 10 minutes ..(damn bios messages need a lot of time
[10:16:20] <MrSteveman1> that was in there by default right?
[10:16:21] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ok?
[10:16:46] <MrSteveman1> is there any -B option in grub normally?
[10:16:54] <mib_gqdxlkj3> yes
[10:17:03] <MrSteveman1> the ata-dma-enabled?
[10:17:15] <mib_gqdxlkj3> kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0
[10:17:20] <mib_gqdxlkj3> this is the default row
[10:17:24] <MrSteveman1> so its disabled by default then
[10:17:24] <MrSteveman1> hm
[10:17:52] <MrSteveman1> you've tried setting it to 1 and also perhaps removing the -B option entirely?
[10:18:17] <mib_gqdxlkj3> i have to test it
[10:18:24] <mib_gqdxlkj3>  should i try it?
[10:18:50] <MrSteveman1> i would
[10:19:09] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ok .. give me 10 minutes ..
[10:19:25] <mib_gqdxlkj3> i will check row root(cd) too ok?
[10:19:32] <MrSteveman1> ok
[10:20:00] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ok see you in some minutes
[10:30:18] <mib_gqdxlkj3> so here i am
[10:30:34] <mib_gqdxlkj3> the same :(
[10:30:55] <mib_gqdxlkj3> if i go to root(cd) and press tab i see: fd0 hd0 hd1 cd
[10:31:55] <MrSteveman1> ok
[10:32:05] <MrSteveman1> we know the cd works or you wouldn't get a kernel to load at all
[10:32:22] <MrSteveman1> you may have to wait for the nexenta guys to wake up
[10:32:37] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ok .. what is their local time now?
[10:33:07] <MrSteveman1> no clue, im not sure where they are :)
[10:33:20] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ah ok ..
[10:33:27] <MrSteveman1> sorry
[10:33:34] <mib_gqdxlkj3> thanks for your support and proposals
[10:33:41] <Bartman007> I know one of them is on the West Coast of the US; it's 01:35 there.
[10:33:41] <anilg> mib_gqdxlkj3: is this what you're seeing? http://www.nexenta.org/os/FAQ#head-afb5cea5d4aa72019ff2a2767dd4397ae8461b9f
[10:34:23] <mib_gqdxlkj3> yes
[10:35:02] <mib_gqdxlkj3> thats it .. but I can't see the warning .. with -v option to much output to read anything
[10:45:51] <mib_gqdxlkj3> is 64bit compatibilty a must?
[10:49:58] <Bartman007> no, but zfs greatly benefits from 64bit
[10:51:05] <mib_gqdxlkj3> ok i will check to use another server
[10:51:14] <mib_gqdxlkj3> i will let you know what happens
[10:51:21] <mib_gqdxlkj3> thanks @all for the moment

[16:13:17] <broesel_08> hello
[16:13:33] <broesel_08> is there some offical nexenta support employe here?
[16:16:41] <broesel_08> i'm trying install nexenta on intel board since 2 days .. everytime I got CD-ROM Discovery failure, trying parameter -B ata-dma-enabled=0 doesn't help, I tried different ide cdrom, external usb , external scsi .. no chance :(
[16:17:16] <broesel_08> and Now I'm very very frustrated to install it on this platform (is planned for 1 of 2 nexenta storages)
[16:23:58] <broesel_08> mmh seems nobody is active hiere
[16:25:01] <databeestje__> broesel_08: try connecting a usb cdrom to a rear usb port
[16:25:20] <databeestje__> That was a issue with the Dell PowerEdge R805 I had
[16:25:32] <Bicster> opensolaris kernel usb seems pretty fubar IMO
[16:25:42] <databeestje__> hear hear
[16:26:00] <broesel_08> I tried this too .. same :( ..  do you have special settings for usb (usb legacy mode and so on)?
[16:26:10] <databeestje__> nope
[16:26:27] <broesel_08> ok i will give it a try again
[16:26:50] <broesel_08> I installed nexentastor in a vmare .. pretty easys and after 20 minutes done
[16:26:59] <Bicster> I have a keyboard with an integrated hub. I normally plug my mouse into it. With Solaris it won't work if the mouse is plugged in during boot, but I can plug it in after the boot. It's not an over-current thing but it must think so. It works in BIOS, Windows, Linux...
[16:27:01] <broesel_08> and now .. a fight
[16:27:44] <broesel_08> ok i will remove mouse and try boot from usb
[16:27:57] <broesel_08> i'll be back in few minutes
[16:28:22] <Bicster> I was so happy yesterday when I plugged in a SAS card, rebooted, and started hotplugging SATA drives and they worked
[16:28:32] <Bicster> more surprised than happy, actually :)
[16:31:45] <scf-> :)
[16:37:00] <broesel_08> ok .. I tried it .. same :(
[16:37:39] <broesel_08> it is frustrating :(
[16:38:41] <anilg> broesel_08: you can try the official support channel for nexentastor support.nexenta.com
[16:39:14] <broesel_08> ah that's the offical .. ok thanks
[16:39:18] <broesel_08> #support.nexenta.com
[16:39:53] <broesel_08> ups .. you mean webpage ;)
[16:48:07] <Bicster> have you tried plugging in the usb cdrom after booting?
[16:48:47] *** databeestje__ has quit IRC
[16:50:29] <broesel_08> when ?
[16:50:32] <broesel_08> after grub ?
[16:50:47] <Bicster> as late as possible I guess
[16:50:56] <Bicster> after the kernel init
[16:51:10] <broesel_08> then I have to use 2 cds right?
[16:51:16] <broesel_08> one internal and one external
[16:51:22] <broesel_08> in other case I can't boot
[16:51:22] <Bicster> yeah, I'm just grasping at straws
[16:51:38] <Bicster> note: I have not installed Nexenta yet. So far only openslowaris
[16:51:40] <broesel_08> mmh I can try it .. but I have to burn a cd
[16:51:46] <broesel_08> ah ok
[16:51:58] <Bicster> or see if you can find instructions to install nexenta from a flash drive instead
[16:52:08] <broesel_08> or usb?
[16:52:27] <Bicster> usb flash, thumb drive, whatever it's called in your locale
[16:52:34] <broesel_08> usb ah ok
[16:52:37] <broesel_08> i will check
[16:58:17] <scf-> I couldnt find how to make a flash drive

[20:57:47] <rootard> seriously though, #nexenta was originally registered by someone who had nothing to do with Nexenta (the OS)
[20:58:06] <rootard> and the only way freenode would grat use of #nexenta was through the use of a forward
[20:58:20] <rootard> *grant
[20:59:07] <rootard> ## names are generally used for non-official rooms
[20:59:13] <rootard> and so here we are
[21:03:06] <dtbartle> can't someone at nexenta systems fix this?
[21:04:19] <rootard> yeah, I thought anil was looking into it but it must have dropped off his radar
[21:05:38] <rootard> I tried back some time ago and they said I needed an "ok" from someone officially affiliated with Nexenta. I mentioned that I develop for the project but they said that still left me at fanboi status to them.
