CIFS service much, fix your shit please, yo[00:35:59] <saik0> I just started using Nexenta, what CIFS brokenness should I be looking forward to?[00:36:02] <Jenkens> opensolaris, you are based on it, i know,but it's buggy dude[00:36:16] <Jenkens> busted AD integration[00:36:27] <Jenkens> kerberos is beyond busted[00:38:21] *** charlls has quit IRC[00:39:37] <Jenkens> iscsi is fine, but snapshots

paid a handsome fee, but bugs go unfixed[00:43:52] <TweakBoy> anyone decent at third party driver installs? specifically the 3ware 9650se?[00:51:03] <TweakBoy> anyone actually alive?[00:54:00] <Jenkens> sure seems like someone would be here that would know, but this channel is pretty idle[00:54:56] <TweakBoy> i have the driver from 3ware copied to /tw/i386 and /tw/amd64 i just need the right command line[00:55:10] <Jenkens> you might ask in #opensolaris[00:55:20] <TweakBoy> i can do it in OS[00:55:32] <TweakBoy> i cant seem to do it in nexentastor[00:55:49] <Jenkens> it shouldn't be any different in nexenta. all the kernel integration/driver integration should be the same OSOL tools[00:55:58] <Jenkens> the only thing that's not OSOL about nexenta is some userland functions[00:56:20] <TweakBoy> hmm im kinda (very) new to OSOL[00:56:29] <TweakBoy> i cant seem to add the driver after install[00:56:36] *** zynox has joined ##nexenta[00:56:38] <TweakBoy> cant seem

must need to read more lol[00:57:16] <Jenkens> next time you need a bash shell, just use !bash[00:57:26] <Jenkens> the expert_mode that enables bash is now permanently on :)[00:57:45] <TweakBoy> thnx[00:57:53] <TweakBoy> will let you know in 20 mins if it worked[00:57:58] <Jenkens> alright[00:58:08] <Jenkens> dont come runnin to me if it dont, cuz I don't have a solution ;)[00:59:07]

anything with them[02:03:42] <Jenkens> i guess so huh[02:03:51] <Jenkens> go create a pool in NMV?[02:03:59] <TweakBoy> hmm i tried[02:04:04] <TweakBoy> said no disks[02:04:08] <Jenkens> data management, data sets, create new volume[02:04:10] <TweakBoy> went to disks and there they were[02:04:27] <TweakBoy> i rebboted to make sure it is all good[02:05:39] <TweakBoy> well it says my battery needs to be tested so i guess the driver is working[02:05:59] <Jenkens> http://yoursan:2000/data/datasets/?this_form=addvol_form[02:06:06] <Jenkens> use that link and change yoursan to your IP address/hostname[02:06:20] <Jenkens> if you have disks available you should be able to create volume[02:06:31] <Jenkens> then go to data management -> shares to create a share (NFS/CIFS)[02:06:37] * Jenkens pokes at pauleyb[02:07:01] <TweakBoy> went to that form says no disks[02:07:14] <Jenkens> ok, and settings -> disks lists disks?[02:07:28] <TweakBoy> yup[02:07:41] <Jenkens> huh[02:07:42] <TweakBoy> 5 now. 1 sata 4 on raid card[02:07:43] <Jenkens> well that's interesting[02:08:06] <TweakBoy> might need to create them in console?[02:08:14] <TweakBoy> or create vol neways?[02:08:15] <Jenkens> you could try, but you should be able to do it via NMV[02:08:49] <Jenkens> at nmc type create volume and hit enter[02:08:53] <Jenkens> give it a name[02:08:58] <Jenkens> and if there are LUNS available it'll list them[02:09:14] <Jenkens> or you can try show lun from NMC too[02:09:30] <TweakBoy> how?[02:09:34] <Jenkens> ?[02:09:36] <Jenkens> from NMC[02:09:47] <Jenkens> the prompt before you !bash[02:09:54] <Jenkens> nmc@sanname:$[02:10:00] <Jenkens> or from 'console' in the GUI[02:11:15] <TweakBoy> shows them all[02:11:21] <Jenkens> ok[02:11:34] <Jenkens> so try 'create volume' and hit enter[02:11:44] <Jenkens> give it a name like tank, or pool1 or whatever[02:11:46] <Jenkens> hit enter[02:13:29] <Jenkens> did any LUN show up?[02:13:31] <TweakBoy> hmm says 1 belongs to exported volume[02:13:49] <Jenkens> did you use those disks in opensolaris before hand?[02:13:53] <Jenkens> or something?[02:13:55] <TweakBoy> lol yes[02:14:04] <Jenkens> go back to data management[02:14:06] <Jenkens> data sets[02:14:10] <Jenkens> and hit import existing volume[02:14:14] <Jenkens> see if you can get your LUNS in that way[02:14:46] <TweakBoy> slicker then snot on a door knob[02:14:49] <TweakBoy> nice[02:14:53] <Jenkens> cool deal[02:15:00] <Jenkens> glad you got your card working[02:15:01] <TweakBoy> i assumed they were gone it was just a test set[02:15:22] <TweakBoy> follow up question[02:15:29] <TweakBoy> how does the dedup stuff work[02:15:37] <TweakBoy> in practice not theory[02:18:40] <Jenkens> uhh[02:18:46] <Jenkens> it's block level dedup[02:19:06] <Jenkens> it basically makes a 256bit hash of the block (i assume) and stores that in memory[02:19:11] <Jenkens> if another block is written with the same hash[02:19:16] <Jenkens> it just references the original hash in metadata[02:19:23] <Jenkens> it doesn't write that data back to the disk again[02:19:33] <TweakBoy> cool[02:19:45] <Jenkens> there are things like compressed backups that dont' seem to work well with dedup though[02:19:55] <Jenkens> probably because the compression changes so much based on what's being compressed[02:20:05] <Jenkens> also[02:20:12] <Jenkens> since dedup's hashtable is held in memory[02:20:21] <Jenkens> it's best to have a large amount of RAM[02:20:31] <Jenkens> the more data you try to dedup, the more ram[02:20:43] <Jenkens> Pauleyb: correct me if i'm wrong on dedup[02:23:42] <TweakBoy> nice[02:23:54] <TweakBoy> i am testing my iscsi crap now[02:23:58] <TweakBoy> thnx alot jenkins[02:24:08] <Jenkens> :)[02:24:13] <Jenkens> enjoy[02:24:22] <Jenkens> dedup over iscsi is a bit iffy[02:24:34] <Jenkens> i haven't had as much success with it as I did just over a share[02:24:44] <TweakBoy> i didnt dedup[02:24:55] <TweakBoy> but i did get 77mbps over crappy 1gb[02:26:47] <TweakBoy> cammand for memory usage?[02:28:04] <TweakBoy> followup question: anyone had luck getting the nvidia gb nics to work?[02:36:27] *** Pauleyb has quit IRC[02:37:26] <Jenkens> not sure on either[02:37:32] <Jenkens> you can see memory usage from the status screen in the gui[02:37:39] <Jenkens> status -> general[02:39:26] <Jenkens> show appliance memory from nmc works too[02:40:08] <Jenkens> bbl[02:41:52] *** stas has quit IRC[02:56:58] *** myers has joined ##nexenta[03:01:32] *** myers has quit IRC[03:08:13] *** myers has

the question?[03:29:15] <TweakBoy> anyone have some iscsi tuning tips? after the first 1gb my throughput drops from 84MBps to 13MBps[03:30:05] <Pauleyb> what iscsi initiator are you using?[03:30:18] <TweakBoy> win 7 for testing then esx3.5 and esx4[03:30:43] *** myers has joined ##nexenta[03:30:46] <Pauleyb> Yeah, umm, the iSCSI initiator in win 7 is not very well done[03:31:08] <TweakBoy> hmm now im having trouble browsing[03:31:19] <TweakBoy> should i test with ?????[03:31:28] <Pauleyb> I had the same problem in testing. With win server 2k8 r2, the initiator is much better than win 7 and the transfers remain pretty stable[03:31:32] <TweakBoy> i have an opensuse, mac, and ubuntu boxes[03:31:44] <TweakBoy> no 2k8 box[03:31:53] <Pauleyb> Oh, iscsi on Linux works really well[03:32:09] <Pauleyb> are you having the same problem with Linux?[03:32:36] <TweakBoy> no havent tried yet[03:33:11] <Pauleyb> Win 7 uses a variable MTU size that solaris hates[03:33:32] <Pauleyb> that is fixed in r2 of win server.
