[00:00:13] <RoyK^> zedrich: the reason for using osol was to have good snapshotting and so on on the host
[00:00:18] <RoyK^> not for guests
[00:00:34] <zedrich> ok so lets walk through thish
[00:00:44] <zedrich> are you aware that osol can export a zfs volume as iscsi?
[00:01:03] <zedrich> are you aware you can use iscsi as a native virtual disk directly from within vbox?
[00:01:06] <RoyK^> I do, but I only have one box at that place
[00:01:24] <zedrich> its ok .. I have 1 box, 1 disk as my desktop and Im doing things this way
[00:01:39] <zedrich> the virtual disk is only virtualized once - but from within an osol VM
[00:01:39] <RoyK^> and buying another box and paying for another 1U will cost me a wee bit
[00:01:59] <wdp_> someone tried
[00:02:00] <zedrich> from there it exports zfs to the host running it and gets _taht_ used for VMs
[00:02:13] <wdp_> this one? :)
[00:02:26] <RoyK^> the problem is I only have this one fucking server and if that can't do virtualization, zfs is secondary
[00:02:30] *** stewart has joined #opensolaris
[00:02:49] <zedrich> RoyK: dude no offense but .. your not follow
[00:03:12] <zedrich> following* heh
[00:03:32] <zedrich> guess Ive been doing virtualization for so long these concepts are second nature
[00:03:46] <RoyK^> no, the problem is not storage, it's just vbox crashing
[00:03:51] <zedrich> when I found this featureset in vbox readily available... i just about kissed the ground
[00:03:55] <gavino> ah skip virtualization and use the multitasking of the os
[00:04:00] <RoyK^> or vbox crashing opensolaris
[00:04:05] <zedrich> RoyK: you do understand that Im smarter than you right man?
[00:04:24] <zedrich> RoyK: and relatively speaking an absolute authority cuz your not able to follow what Im saynig heh
[00:04:30] <RoyK^> gavino: heh - try running Zimbra in a zone
[00:04:40] <zedrich> those instructions are how to hook up iscsi as a native device to a VM ..
[00:04:51] <zedrich> now... where can we get iscsi... oh right - from opensolaris, of any sort
[00:04:57] <zedrich> even as a VM
[00:04:59] <zedrich> done, and done.
[00:05:10] <RoyK^> sure, but that's just adding complexicty
[00:05:34] <wdp_> so, anyone here using xen and opensolaris and could tell me whether pci pass through is working?
[00:05:37] <RoyK^> I'm quite familiar to iscsi and its friends, no problem, but it's not really good for a single server setup
[00:05:39] <zedrich> hmm youve a good point there. probably shouldnt add complexity when you cant spell it haha
[00:05:46] <zedrich> RoyK: 'really good'
[00:05:51] <wdp_> (i googled a bit it seems no, and someone here told me "afaik not", just wanna make sure)
[00:06:24] <zedrich> RoyK: this is confusing me actually... cuz the base host would just be a shell .. eg, the linux host.
[00:06:36] <zedrich> RoyK: then doing things this way benefits you zfs ... etc
[00:06:39] <wdp_> would like to install osol, but i don't want to miss my dvb-t card so i thought about installing a linux domU (so that i could just use that domU for the dvb-t card with pci-pass-through)
[00:06:40] <RoyK^> well, let's setup a server with local iscsi mounts and zfs over that and then some nfs and cifs over that and ....... wtf
[00:06:47] <strawf> greetings, I'm planning to setup pvm domU in my home network to handle routing/firewalling before the WAN. Which OS would you suggest for this thinking of performance, I've 100/100 connection and I've faced some perf. issues with hvm freebsd
[00:07:34] <zedrich> RoyK: its the same different virtually.
[00:07:38] *** smyth_rj has joined #opensolaris
[00:07:53] <RoyK^> zedrich: have you ever been working in operations? you always want to have few hops - very few
[00:08:07] <zedrich> RoyK: i would argue its as good or better this way for various reasons. for one, opensolris isnt running your hardware directly. thats probably a good thing haha
[00:08:27] <wdp_> nobody? :)
[00:08:28] <Meths> RoyK^: You could go closer to the hardware and just run something like ESXi or MS equivalent as your base and run osol as a guest but without the overhead of a full host OS?
[00:08:36] <RoyK^> zedrich: it's running on my hardware, and that's the problem
[00:08:39] <zedrich> RoyK: only as 1 of 6 solaris / AFS admins at a college with 50k users.... nothing beyond that ;)
[00:08:44] *** projectmoon has joined #opensolaris
[00:09:04] <zedrich> Meths: actually vbox has many of the same characteristics as ESX
[00:09:06] <RoyK^> zedrich: I'm running osol on hardware, yes
[00:09:48] *** niq has quit IRC
[00:09:57] <RoyK^> Meths: huh - the idea was to use osol as the _host_, not a guest
[00:10:15] <zedrich> RoyK: well do wyhatever ya want. Im running an osol to iscsi -> windows xp on my desktop maching with a single SATA drive... works awesome

[00:10:51] <RoyK^> zedrich: the start was vbox is buggy
[00:10:59] <zedrich> RoyK: no thats your start.
[00:11:06] <Meths> RoyK^: Yes, I know. I've read that you've said it doesn't work though. If it doesn't work I was trying to suggest an alternative. It's only an option to weigh against any others you're thinking about.
[00:11:07] <RoyK^> after that, someone cut off and started talking nonesense

[00:12:12] <RoyK^> Meths: I'm not saying I'm not looking for alternaives - see my first post - I'm just wondering if others know a good answer how to avoid that
[00:12:12] <zedrich> and even if vbox has a bug or bad docs... there are so many alternativse that work awesome cuz you have so much more power... hard to feel sorry for any one
[00:12:25] <zedrich> RoyK: stock answer, file a bug
[00:12:33] <lewellyn> alanc: how likely is it that niveditha will get to 6919018 in the near future?
[00:12:35] <RoyK^> i did
[00:12:44] <zedrich> RoyK: just use vmware server... oh right, doesnt work on osol
[00:12:58] <zedrich> RoyK: and vbox locks up on osol..
[00:13:02] <lewellyn> i have an opportunity to get an nvidia card for the machine, but that will practically eliminate the ability for me to easily give further feedback
[00:13:19] <zedrich> ... I wonder if there is a way to get ZFS facilities to your virtual systems without running osol - oh right - how i described! heh
[00:13:26] <alanc> lewellyn: no idea - I know she's working on the KMS updates to synchronize with the kernel putback, but I don't know about bug fixes
[00:13:38] <lewellyn> alanc: ok. i'll get the nvidia card :)
[00:13:54] <lewellyn> (i'll magically gain a half gig of ram that way, too!)
[00:14:07] <RoyK^> the one problem with some irc channels is that some people are more concerned about making bugs look like human failures - this is one of them
[00:14:08] <zedrich> RoyK: not just that .. but you can do whta i said _today_ .. itll work fine
[00:14:46] <alanc> I wonder if the recent kernel fix from Juergen to mark the device registers as volatile in a couple places they weren't will help
[00:14:47] <zedrich> RoyK: no its just broken. no one has an answer. we all know that. then we offer a different way to get it done _today_ ... thats what senior ops / IT guys can do .. get it to work regardless
[00:14:58] <samc> Any of you guys had OpenSolaris running on an oldish (3 years or so) HP DL320 or DL360? When I boot the CD (either the normal 134 livecd or the text-install cd) it doesn't get much past the kernel banner; when I boot with -v the last message is 'mouse80420 is /pci/.....'

[00:16:14] <zedrich> RoyK: if you had a way to assess the pros / cons of my approach youd do it tho :)
[00:16:30] <lewellyn> alanc: as i've not even taken the time to apply the workaround suggested last thurs, i'm still on 129, so i can't test a kernel change easily :)
[00:16:33] <lewellyn> i'm not here most of the time :)
[00:16:46] <zedrich> RoyK: like .. what is your strategy for using ZFS + VDI?
[00:16:53] *** Fullmoon has quit IRC
[00:17:11] <Meths> VDI?
[00:17:13] <zedrich> RoyK: your going to create a zfs dataset that contains all VMs or 1 zfs dataset per VM to perform snapping (maybe even cloning?)
[00:17:17] *** smyth_rj_droid has joined #opensolaris
[00:17:17] <zedrich> Meths: virtual disk
[00:17:26] <sickness> coolest thing should be to create a zvol, create a vmdk pointing to that zvol, and use that vmdk in place of a VDI =)
[00:17:27] *** projectmoon has quit IRC
[00:17:34] *** noisecont has quit IRC
[00:17:35] <zedrich> methd: virtual disk file .. so its a filesystem, in a file, on a filesystem
[00:17:54] <RoyK^> the VMs are all on the same zfs dataset
[00:18:00] <RoyK^> nothing fancy
[00:18:01] <sickness> but I doubt it would be 100% stable and manageable, mayb it's a little too early, I still use VDI plain files on zfs for now... =)
[00:18:15] <zedrich> sickness: thats the best reason Ive heard for using osol as the base host ..
[00:18:25] <zedrich> sickness: as it completely eliminates device virtualizatin
[00:18:28] <sickness> zedrich: yeah
[00:18:33] *** projectmoon has joined #opensolaris
[00:18:48] <RoyK^> omg, would osol be less stable for regular data access than with separate datasets?
[00:18:54] <zedrich> sickness: I havent eliminated it, but kept it to 1 as well as having ZFS facilities on any host operating system.. which still gives me everything
[00:19:00] *** noisecont has joined #opensolaris
[00:19:01] <sickness> but virtualbox is not yet tightly integrated with osol...
[00:19:20] <zedrich> sickness: it can actually do what you described right
[00:19:49] <zedrich> sickness: also, it can do what you describe via its vdi-iscsi implementatin
[00:19:49] <RoyK^> perhaps someone should ask the creator of vbox to talk to the creator of opsnsolaris to do so :P
[00:19:59] <sickness> yeah, but it feels almost like doing an ugly hack... and there are too many differences between the "server" virtualizer, which is xvm, and the "desktop" one, which is virtualbox
[00:20:03] <zedrich> RoyK: dude go to #vbox
[00:20:07] <zedrich> RoyK: ask them yourself
[00:20:10] <RoyK^> been there
[00:20:24] <sickness> with vmware, you can seamelessly open a vm from vmware-server to all the others and vice versa...
[00:20:37] *** noisecont has quit IRC
[00:20:38] <RoyK^> no solaris folks there, really
[00:20:53] <sickness> with vbox you can't have server features, and with xvm you don't have handy desktop features, they still don't mix well :(
[00:20:55] <zedrich> sickness: sorta. workstation / server / esx needs to be 'vm synced'
[00:20:57] *** smyth_rj_droid has quit IRC
[00:21:02] <sickness> yeah
[00:21:03] <zedrich> xvm?
[00:21:23] *** smyth_rj_droid has joined #opensolaris
[00:21:29] <zedrich> sickness: actually you can run vbox headless and access the vm's with RDP
[00:21:30] <jamesd2> sickness, no the coolest thing would be if Virtualbox created a zvol, and used iscsi to mount it (this could be done on any solaris 10 or OSOL machine)... and then allow you to migrate it to another Virtualbox server on the network and have it use the same iscsi share to work its magic.
[00:21:42] <zedrich> thats pretty much identical to server... they just kinda combined the 12
[00:21:43] <zedrich> 2
[00:22:01] <zedrich> jamesd2: yeahp, working on that automation as we speak
[00:22:14] <RoyK^> then, how can I move from vbox to xvm?
[00:22:21] <jamesd2> zedrich, take a look at sun vdi, it does most of what i just mentioned...
[00:22:30] <zedrich> jamesd2: since all VMs are zfs vols can do send/recv for replication when needed too
[00:22:32] <sickness> zedrich: yeah, that's exactly what I do, but it's not like having the vmware-server console, and you don't even have a way to start/stop automatically all your VMs, you have to search on google and import some dude's manifests... not an "integrated" thing imho...
[00:23:03] <sickness> jamesd2: eheh, that's A LOT of things in a sentence, but it's indeed cool =)
[00:23:24] <jamesd2> royK given that a iscsi share is just like any other share, xvm should make it possible, since its just another raw disk.. of course low level implentation makes things a bit more difficult
[00:23:25] <zedrich> jamesd2: hahah i knew that the iscsi integration was there for a reason. yay sun / oracle. yay 'us' i guess.

[00:25:15] *** Netwolf has quit IRC
[00:25:25] <zedrich> RoyK: in effect, if your going to have a VM+vdi on top of zfs.. why is it any worse to have iscsi->zfs->vdi? :)
[00:25:27] <jamesd2> royK virtualbox and xvm doesn't understand filesystems, it mostly just uses volume, so it should be able to move a raw volume to anywhere. its just another lun.
[00:25:33] <sickness> for example, one of the main reasons to use virtualization, is to virtualize the damn win32 OSes, *but*, xen still lacks pv drivers for win32 VMs, so you are pratically forced to use virtualbox which in turn has a wonderful win32 guest support, but it's almost a hack to use it like a "server" hypervisor...

[00:26:10] *** projectmoon has quit IRC
[00:26:16] <zedrich> unfortunately VDI is the term for the virtual disks in vbox heh
[00:26:27] *** projectmoon has joined #opensolaris
[00:26:59] <alanc> the Sun VDI team? I thought jamesd2 worked in a comepletely different company
[00:27:30] <jamesd2> zedrich, i'm using it to control virtuals+zfs not reaally for multiple desktops, its fun to import a guest, clone and say deploy.. do my work, exit, and then clone what i have done.. its a lot smoother than virtualbox's iscsi support so far.

[00:28:30] *** LeftWing has quit IRC
[00:28:33] <zedrich> and xen doesnt compete
[00:28:39] <zedrich> i guess this channel is logged huh
[00:28:40] <zedrich> oh well
[00:28:54] <RoyK^> heh
[00:29:03] <RoyK^> how does xvm work?
[00:29:08] <RoyK^> does it?
[00:29:11] <jamesd2> xen works pretty well but lacks a lot of gui stuff, which is interesting if you are going to manage 100's of guests...
[00:29:20] <zedrich> but! from what i can tell vbox is as fast and more featureful than vmware server / player
[00:29:24] <zedrich> which is basically the class its in
[00:29:36] <zedrich> jamesd2: well .. we have labmanager
[00:29:47] <RoyK^> 'cept that it fucks up my server, that is
[00:29:48] <sickness> esxi surely has advantages... but it has it's drawbacks too, it only runs on certain hardware, whereas you can install osol+xen on almost any x86 hardware (and controller and do raid with zfs!)
[00:29:54] <zedrich> jamesd2: empowers users to instantiate from templates.. instead of an IT guy wrangling 100s of VMs
[00:30:00] <jamesd2> zedrich, exactly... xen doesn't that i am aware of..
[00:30:43] <zedrich> jamesd2: Im making a mesh scale version of it... but I guess your an ops guy. this is sort of to empower people with normal desktop machines to grow out a VM lab using what they already have
[00:31:02] <sickness> esxi doesn't know anything about networking, so you have to install a vm to do firewalling and so on, with osol+xen you have a wonderful tool: ipf, which you can use to do firewalling+nat+redirect, it's almost the only way to effectively use lots of dedicated servers which doesn't give a subnet to you for your VMs
[00:31:07] <RoyK^> I'll get back in a few hours when all the data from the old vbox VMs are all transferred and do some more testing with xvm - until then - time out
[00:31:08] <zedrich> jamesd2: as you know.. the buildout for hosts and storage of any current architecture s .. more than a few hundred bucks ;)
[00:31:26] <RoyK^> moving from vbox to xvm might be worth a try
[00:31:38] <zedrich> RoyK: i dont see xvm
[00:31:52] <zedrich> i think xvm == vbox .. from google
[00:32:12] <zedrich> sickness: can you script / code / etc?
[00:32:17] <RoyK^> zedrich: xvm == xen, vbox is something else
[00:32:41] <sickness> nah, I'm just an humble end user =)
[00:32:43] <lattera> instead of making crappy guesses, I guess we could just look at the official documentation ;)

[00:35:49] <lattera> so you want to run some operating system in a virtualized environment on a windows host?
[00:35:55] <jamesd2> royK the problem with your reasoning is that a major backer of xen is oracle, oracle now owns Virtualbox, so expect the lines to blur in the coming years, more and more oracle/xen/xvm code will get mixed into Virtualbox
[00:35:58] <RoyK^> zedrich: xen runs windows guests and most others, vbox can be run on a windows host and can run most guests

[00:43:32] <zedrich> RoyK: all true.
[00:43:46] <lattera> yay for pointless penis measuring! ;)
[00:44:02] <zedrich> lattera: mererly answering questions
[00:44:10] <zedrich> i dont mind, i worked my ass off for 10 years
[00:44:17] <RoyK^> just cut it - you can't figure out something I ask you, you just blame me for doing it wrong
[00:44:39] <RoyK^> which is so much BOFH as you can get it
[00:44:42] <zedrich> RoyK: I explained before its because we odnt focus on your problem, we focus on a solutuon
[00:44:59] <zedrich> RoyK: youll find when you get older in the industry thats what gets you places
[00:45:00] <RoyK^> yeah, which would be what?

[00:45:19] *** ewdafa has quit IRC
[00:45:41] <RoyK^> zedrich: I'd be grateful to hear your solution for my problem, Sir
[00:45:52] <zedrich> your problem of osol locking up with vbox.. thats a problem that we dont really doubt. but I dont write vbox host level device drivers. so i cant debug it. if you needed zfs + VMs done _today_ and werent opposed to using linux as a host, then do it the way i said
[00:46:05] <zedrich> otherwise wait for them to acknowledge your bug and fix it.
[00:46:11] <RoyK^> I've only been in this industry for close to 20 years, so excuse me for being a junior
[00:46:19] <zedrich> or just use linux and dont get the benefits of zfs - whichever, those are your options.
[00:46:30] <lattera> RoyK^, what's the original problem you want help with?
[00:46:33] <RoyK^> the bug report is sent, no problem
[00:46:39] <zedrich> but assuming someone is going to be on IRC that can actually help you solve exactly what you want is retarded.
[00:46:48] <lattera> was it that you wanted to migrate away from vbox to xvm?
[00:46:53] *** milek has joined #opensolaris
[00:47:11] <zedrich> RoyK: your acting like a junior in your approach. its ok - thats why I manage people cuz I help them work through issues.
[00:47:42] <RoyK^> zedrich: sorry, mate, but I did send a bug report far in excess of asing in here - you're acting like a junior trying to act like a senior :)
[00:48:18] <zedrich> I'll make you a deal
[00:48:19] <RoyK^> asking in here, even
[00:48:26] <zedrich> go setup a system like i suggested
[00:48:33] <zedrich> try it - then come back and tell us how bad it sucks
[00:48:36] <lattera> RoyK^, are you trying to migrate away from vbox towards xvm?
[00:48:47] <RoyK^> considering it
[00:48:54] <zedrich> or... use it and be happy. your choice.
[00:49:02] <lattera> what issues have you been running into?
[00:49:07] <RoyK^> since vbox is quite unusable as it is of now on osol
[00:49:41] <lattera> it's unstable on b111 of osol as noted in that issue, sure
[00:49:45] <lattera> have you tried it on b134?
[00:49:57] <RoyK^> no, I'll try, though
[00:50:18] <lattera> give that a try and let me know
[00:50:39] <RoyK^> if it works on 134, that'll be fine, if not, ditch the sunny stuff and go back to the penguin
[00:50:46] <lattera> lol
[00:50:58] <lattera> well, what would prevent you from migrating to xvm?
[00:51:01] <RoyK^> lattera: do you know any bug report that resembles mine?

[00:51:33] <RoyK^> lattera: does xvm work well on 111 or would I have to upgrade to 134 first?
[00:51:48] <lattera> I use xvm on a production server on 134, it works wonderfully
[00:51:53] <lattera> I can't say for 111

[02:06:59] <gavino> and opensol like rolled it back after few min
[02:07:05] <gavino> how to change time?
[02:07:06] *** Netwolf has quit IRC
[02:11:30] <alanc> the Solaris /usr/bin/tar doesn't need z/j for extraction, only for creation
[02:12:15] <alanc> extraction autodetects based on magic number (inspired by the BSD tar when the code was originally written about 5 years ago, just took a long time to get integrated)

[02:30:21] <TweakBoy> o/

[02:36:07] <nikolam> and after that /dev will move on. and freezed 2010.xy will stay forever, frozen in time, until some tooth fairy updates it.
[02:36:27] <alanc> that's the way it's been in the past
[02:38:41] <lattera> ya, this is my first time actually paying attention to how the opensolaris development cycle works

[02:58:44] <TweakBoy> i cant get the driver to work lol

[03:01:59] <TweakBoy> ?
[03:02:22] <Andys^> yep
[03:02:29] <Andys^> last time i bought one it came with a low profile and full height bracket

[03:02:58] <Andys^> and its like..$25
[03:02:58] <lattera> I had to buy a different nic today
[03:02:59] <TweakBoy> onboard
[03:03:07] <Andys^> and uses less CPU time than the nvidia
[03:03:10] <lattera> because mine's an nvidia nic, heh

[03:41:04] <lewellyn> yup :P
[03:41:11] <lewellyn> as i said, i dunno how to reproduce it
[03:41:22] <dizko> chalk it up to "fucking magic"

[03:42:11] <dizko> as of snv_134 my macbook reboots shortly after grub if i enable the graphical console, but doesnt if i disable it
[03:42:27] <dizko> my keyboard on the other box stopps responding....all sorts of fun little gems like that =(
[03:42:51] <lewellyn> dizko: the former sounds like the apple keyboard issue. :)
[03:43:04] <lewellyn> be glad you can boot , unlike with older builds ;)
[03:43:11] <dizko> the older builds were fine
[03:43:16] <lewellyn> even 111b?
[03:43:27] <dizko> ive been running dev for awhile and have updated to most of the ones that came out
[03:43:34] <lewellyn> and you may or may not have a firmware update available if you run Software Update in OS X
[03:43:34] <dizko> is 111b 200906 ?
[03:43:37] <lewellyn> yes
[03:44:05] <dizko> im fairly certain i had installed that, but its quite possible i started with a newer release on the mb
[03:44:26] <lewellyn> there are others here who are more familiar with the issue
[03:44:41] <lewellyn> i just don't use mac keyboards with osol. bad mojo :)
[03:44:59] <dizko> well, im not using a mac keyboard - but its a laptop so it does have one built in
[03:45:14] <lewellyn> so you're using a mac keyboard ;)

[04:01:09] <lewellyn> modify: no, i can't get it working with "supported" configurations, so i've not tried yet :)
[04:01:22] <lewellyn> modify: there's always bootable ai! :D
[04:01:36] <modify> lewellyn, bootable ai for sparc?
[04:02:13] <modify> i just setup a laptop as the ai host, but I want to use our existing MS dhcp server
[04:02:19] <lewellyn> smrt: explain bootable ai
[04:02:22] <lewellyn> smrt: explain bootable ai on sparc
[04:02:23]
<smrt> You want to use an AI disc matching the version of the OS you are trying to install. For dev (and local mirrors), you will need to use a custom manifest: "boot cdrom - install prompt". There is a /dev manifest at http://www.greenviolet.net/ai/dev for your use. See also: ai, bootable ai
[04:02:50] <lewellyn> modify: for wanboot ai, you're sure your sparc's got a new enough obp? :)
[04:03:38] <modify> lewellyn, it probably doesn't just testing this on a sb100
[04:05:01] <lewellyn> yeah. afaik, there's no obp new enough. so you only have bootable ai and the textinstaller as options
[04:05:19] <lewellyn> bootable ai is slow, but customizable :)
[04:08:52] <TweakBoy> i hate to bring it up but what is the future of opensolaris with oracle being so lame?
[04:09:38] <alanc> if we knew for sure what the future held, we'd be in vegas making millions, not here on IRC talking to you
[04:09:42] <deet> it's being discontinued in favor of linux
[04:10:04] <lewellyn> which is being discontinued in favor of aix
[04:10:05] <deet> x86 support is being removed, it'll only run on 68k macintoshes
[04:10:13] <TweakBoy> discontinued by oraclke but what about the community?
[04:10:18] <deet> we're all leaving
[04:10:20] <lewellyn> we're all moving to aix
[04:10:24] <TweakBoy> lol
[04:10:31] <TweakBoy> i guess ill keep my mac then
[04:10:42] <lewellyn> ibm gave us deep discounts on POWER boxes. they chopped a zero off the price
[04:10:46] <alanc> ask a question no one can answer, and see how many absolute bullshit answers people can make up
[04:11:31] <TweakBoy> okay how about does anyone know y my iscsi performance is abyssmal ?
[04:12:05] <lewellyn> because you're using a mac

[04:36:43] <jbk> so here's a question... this seems rather simple, but I have a number of pdf files to host, and i need to (via http) control access (i.e. userX can see/download certain pdfs while userY can see/download other pdfs)...anyone familiar with such software that'd run on opensolaris?
[04:37:04] <alanc> apache with .htaccess ?
[04:37:08] <jbk> (I'd rather use that since I can play some games with zones/ipf/crossbow and make it pretty damn isolated)
[04:37:18] <jbk> well something a bit less.. generic
[04:37:25] <jbk> since this would be internet facing
[04:37:25] <lewellyn> webdav?
[04:37:47] <lewellyn> something in php?
[04:37:58] <jbk> i'd prefer to avoid php :)

[04:38:53] <lewellyn> awk!
[04:38:57] <jbk> haha
[04:39:04] <alanc> because everyone wants to pkg install foo.pdf
[04:39:23] <jbk> well i can write something, but there's an aversion to 'custom-written' software at work
[04:39:36] <jbk> open source is fine though
[04:39:37] <lewellyn> alanc: i was toying with an article about that for apr 1. i deleted it before hitting "publish" in case people took it TOO seriously

[05:24:17] <zedrich> hrm
[05:24:29] <zedrich> how do you guys usually do zfs send / recv across hosts?
[05:24:39] <zedrich> I am attempting with ssh and am getting permission denied...
[05:24:52] <zedrich> although the user that Im logging in remotely with can create the zfs dataset just fine
[05:25:30] *** e1kg has joined #opensolaris
[05:26:24] <jamesd2> zedrich, you need to get the remote user, zfs management premission and use pfexec zfs recv .....
[05:27:09] <zedrich> i was just using zfs allow username allow,create,clone,receive,send,promote,love,hate,war,blah
[05:27:15] <zedrich> on my zfs dataset... not enouhg>?
[05:27:39] <zedrich> cuz i was operating per the instructions i found,..
[05:29:11] <zedrich> wow Im totally confused. hahah why cant i create a dataset as a user when perms have been delegated
[05:29:13] <zedrich> acls rather
[05:29:20] *** CodeWar has quit IRC
[05:30:02] *** p3rror has joined #opensolaris
[05:31:06] <jamesd2> zedrich, pfexec is probably a better method for this.
[05:32:14] <zedrich> what protocol does it work over?
[05:32:19] <zedrich> rpc?
[05:32:24] <zedrich> service rather
[05:33:12] *** randw has quit IRC
[05:33:15] <zedrich> for instance... I'd like to at some point stream the send over some middleware so that the bits are multicast and receieved by multiple machines ..
[05:33:37] <zedrich> anyway
[05:36:34] *** nikolam has quit IRC
[05:36:59] <jamesd2> ssh is over tcp 53
[05:37:02] <jamesd2> ooops 22
[05:37:10] *** nikolam has joined #opensolaris
[05:37:14] <zedrich> got it working
[05:37:18] <zedrich> forgot the mount permission
[05:37:33] <zedrich> purty cool... purty cool :D
[05:38:17] <zedrich> wonder how many checksums and such are available
[05:38:20] <zedrich> within send/recv
[05:38:38] *** projectmoon has quit IRC
[05:39:09] <jamesd2> zedrich, depends on how your data checksummed.. sha256 i think is the max... but sha512 and higher is being worked on... for the paranoid users of dedup
[05:39:50] <zedrich> ah
[05:39:54] *** t3hrealadamd has joined #opensolaris
[05:40:17] <zedrich> so what if i chunked the send stream and it became somehow corrupted (eg, first out, last in problem with messaging)
[05:43:58] <zedrich> is 131 good?
[05:43:59] <zedrich> heh
[05:45:43] *** nachox has quit IRC
[05:46:26] *** lblume has joined #opensolaris
[05:47:56] <jamesd2> zedrich, first... tcp checksumming would catch most, and then zfs checksum would verify on top of that... and it would bitch and request a resend and probably die if it still didn't get good data
[05:48:08] <zedrich> ok
[05:48:12] <zedrich> figured as much
[05:48:22] <zedrich> by the way .. when looking at zfs datasets... used / avail / refer
[05:48:35] <zedrich> if something is 10.2gb/14.2/8,38
[05:48:51] *** Zhwazi has quit IRC
[05:48:56] <jamesd2> this should be a faq, and of course i always get them confused...
[05:49:06] <zedrich> is that that the dataset is 10.2gb used itself and clones are the refer count?
[05:49:18] <zedrich> yeah I remember reading it a few years ago but just now got going on the project again..
[05:49:39] <zedrich> avail is pretty clear tho heh
[05:49:59] <zedrich> or is it .. is that total for the fs?
[05:51:17] <jamesd2> thats the usable amount of space left to the pool/filesystem(effected by quotas) which ever is smaller
[05:51:25] <zedrich> ok
[05:51:31] <zedrich> yeah i better just look it up :)
[05:51:36] <zedrich> so i dont get confused
[05:54:51] <jamesd2> now if i can only figure out what i am getting wrong for jumbo packets to work on this interface... its enables if i do it manually but on reboot, it fails, i'm sure i've fat finger something somewhere
[06:05:54] <lblume> You probably need to make a start script to enable it on boot.
[06:07:09] *** PhlowX__ has joined #opensolaris
[06:07:10] <jamesd2> lblume, no i got it working in solaris10u8 on a blade1000

[06:10:10] <lblume> Surprising. The NIC I've tried always came up with a 1500 MTU by default.
[06:12:25] <jamesd2> i just had to change /etc/hostname.nicname to hostname mtu 9000 up
[06:12:36] <jamesd2> i'm giving dladm method a try...
[06:13:44] <lblume> Ah, ok, that's basically what I meant, though I'm usually relucatant to put that value there.
[06:14:26] <jamesd2> lblume, its okay, its not production and its just a backup link for iscsi connections....
[06:14:37] <lblume> But I'm not sure I understand what yourproblem is now, since it is enabled?
[06:14:48] *** PhlowX__ has quit IRC

[06:42:11] <lewellyn> well, then. it's something i know about :P

[06:43:37] <zedrich> whats the login to the livecd
[06:43:51] <lewellyn> zedrich: as a rule, if you ask that, it won't help
[06:43:55] <Hedonista> make the best of what you have and get simple pleasures where you can
[06:44:04] <lewellyn> zedrich: did X not start?
[06:44:16] <zedrich> lewellyn: your answer reads like an infocom game :D
[06:44:31] <zedrich> lewellyn: gdm started.. think its like version 13x
[06:44:44] <lewellyn> that reminds me. i need to get cc65 tested
[06:44:46] <zedrich> that aint getting it
[06:45:00] <lewellyn> zedrich: is it asking for a login at the gdm screen?
[06:45:05] <lewellyn> if so, that's probably 130 :P
[06:45:11] <zedrich> jack jack
[06:45:13] <zedrich> right irght
[06:45:19] <lewellyn> yes
[06:45:33] <lewellyn> but, again, as a rule, it's not the "right" answer :)
[06:45:43] <zedrich> yeahp its not
[06:45:47] <zedrich> docs wrong ... nice touch
[06:45:49] <trochej> Coffee
[06:45:55] <lewellyn> it's jack jack, alright
[06:46:11] <zedrich> its actually 131
[06:46:11] <lewellyn> but 99% of the time, that's followed by: "so now how do i install from the cli?"
[06:46:18] <zedrich> heh yeahp i imagine
[06:46:22] <zedrich> first thought that came to my mind...
[06:46:27] <lewellyn> ok. close enough. the broken gnome. the release notes tell you what to do about it :)
[06:46:30] <zedrich> there is a text option but figured Id just have the same prob
[06:46:47] <trochej> Did coffee help?
[06:46:56] <zedrich> probably a newer version right .. thats fixed
[06:46:58] <lewellyn> better solution is to try 134
[06:47:17] <zedrich> gotta love my option hunting skills ;)
[06:47:48] <lewellyn> 130 happened to bring in lots of new stuff that people wanted to show up in the next release. so 131-134 was fixing that stuff ;)
[06:48:20] <zedrich> the open source method of users=QA is .. debatable
[06:48:32] <zedrich> especially to an automation engineer
[06:48:50] <lewellyn> the dev stuff is minimally tested
[06:48:53] *** lateau has quit IRC
[06:49:18] <lewellyn> the tree's closed every two weeks, the thing's assembled, people poke at it and fix whatever broke, and the cycle repeats

[06:49:39] *** Zhwazi has joined #opensolaris
[06:50:16] <lewellyn> otherwise it'd be more like "that build was nice. few bugs reported. let's use that for the next release!"

[06:56:54] <zedrich> great release

[06:57:15] *** Mousk4r has joined #opensolaris
[06:57:18] <Aria> 5.3 did exist.
[06:57:22] <lewellyn> 5.2 ate my disks

[06:57:28] <zedrich> hrmmm
[06:57:28] <zedrich> haha
[06:57:34] <lewellyn> 5.3 rawhide broke everything
[06:57:39] <lewellyn> i gave up
[06:57:50] <Aria> Well, that was kinda the definition of rawhide at that point ;-)
[06:57:53] <zedrich> the redhat ftp does have the oldies
[06:57:59] <Aria> That was one rough stretch, the conversion from linuxthreads to posix threads.
[06:58:17] <Aria> I was using addon distros at the time -- mandrake, then PLD
[06:58:28] <Aria> Still use PLD, now that it's not adding on to redhat anymore -)
[06:58:39] <zedrich> oh wait rawhide was the dev branch stuff right
[06:58:42] <Aria> Yep.
[06:58:47] <zedrich> memory didnt serve well on that one heh
[06:58:48] <lewellyn> yeah. i ditched it just before release
[06:58:50] <Aria> But man, I really like solaris releng.
[06:59:10] <lewellyn> since i couldn't exactly bring myself to continue using a release i had already lost 3 disks to :P
[06:59:17] <zedrich> Aria: in some weird way... thanks ;)
[06:59:48] <zedrich> 6.0 doesnt leave a perm memory.. think it was fine. actually dont remember any released versions being bad cept 5.0 and 5.1
[07:00:01] <lewellyn> and 5.2 and 5.3
[07:00:15] <lewellyn> 5.1 was probably the best of the 4
[07:05:27] <Aria> Yep.
[07:05:35] <Aria> 6.0 was an improvement, 6.2 was quite solid.

[07:33:58] <jmcp> Hedonista: filing well written bug reports is a very useful thing
[07:34:06] *** nickw has quit IRC
[07:34:13] <jmcp> we run a massive test suite, every night, over almost all the code
[07:34:22] <jmcp> doesn't mean we don't like to get more help, though
[07:34:29] <zedrich> wow.... so much is already done with all the Sun stuff.. yet strangely none of the really important stuff haha
[07:34:32] <jmcp> Hedonista: test.opensolaris.org might be the answer to the question you just asked
[07:34:33] <zedrich> guess its an engineering company, true nuff
[07:35:47] <zedrich> btw - where are the latest dev build install ISOs located?
[07:35:58] *** tsoome has quit IRC
[07:36:06] <Hedonista> bitch all you want zedrich if you arent part of the sollution... i forget the rest
[07:36:14] <jmcp> liveCD isos are on opensolaris.com and genunix.org
[07:36:20] <jmcp> Hedonista: ".. then you're the problem"
[07:36:35] <zedrich> actually its not a bitch at all
[07:36:40] <Hedonista> i guess jmcp
[07:36:48] <lewellyn> zedrich: release notes and dev torrent is in /topic
[07:36:48] <zedrich> quite the opposite.. at worst a backhanded compliment :)
[07:37:25] <lewellyn> jmcp: you're part of the precipitate ;)
[07:37:39] <jmcp> heh
[07:37:49] <lblume> lewellyn: I thought the current topic was "PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS TOPIC NOR ANYTHING BECFORE ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS" ?
[07:38:00] <lblume> But I wouldn't know, I don't read topics.
[07:38:21] <zedrich> yay the nerd herd is here
[07:38:33] <Hedonista> how can i help isnt a stupid question and often forgotten one
[07:38:50] <zedrich> Hedonista: Im actually building my own thingy on top of all this stuff
[07:38:57] * jmcp raises eyebrow @ zedrich
[07:39:15] <zedrich> but admittedly its somewhat different than an ops perspective on life
[07:39:22] <lblume> Hedonista: I was not referring to you but to a strings of slackers we had recently.
[07:40:43] <lblume> Wanting to help is good, and reporting bugs is a good way to both learn and help. Even small things like typos in man pages deserve bug reports.

[07:44:19] <lblume> Yes, I know.... Well, typos are the most reproducible form of bug, ever :-D
[07:46:25] <Hedonista> what about metrics? is there an innocuous way to get info w/o infringing ona user and help cloud/compute images or devs w/o interactive end user inputs?
[07:47:07] <Andys^> Nice Try, Microsoft employee
[07:47:10] <jmcp> metrics describing what, exactle ?
[07:47:13] <jmcp> exactly?
[07:47:29] <lblume> What's a cloud, exactly?

[07:47:45] <smrt> Um. I seem to not know anything about cloud...

[07:48:11] <lewellyn> smrt: learn cloud=You know, those things that make that big bright room bearable, except when they leak all over the place.
[07:48:14] <Macer> cloud is a marketing word
[07:49:00] <Macer> wow. i just realized i was using a software decoder codec on my htpc this whole time for the tuner card

[19:29:44] <galt> balrog: look for the community driver
[19:30:05] <tsoome> should be around 7-10ms normally....
[19:30:05] <galt> there's a rage128 driver out there, just not an official one
[19:30:31] <balrog> galt: I don't think the Blade 150 uses rage128 even :\
[19:30:48] <balrog> it's an ATI Mach64, AKA Rage II
[19:30:56] <balrog> at least that's what it seems
[19:31:00] <tsoome> you have dedicated disks for redo?
[19:31:00] <balrog> but where would the driver be?
[19:31:13] <galt> balrog: trust me, it's a rage128
[19:31:30] <balrog> okay, where then?
[19:31:50] <balrog> SUNWatigfx ?
[19:31:52] <galt> try xorg.com. I know that it used to be in Xfree86
[19:32:08] <galt> atigfx is for the XVR100
[19:32:30] <balrog> but would I have to recompile Xorg for that?

[19:33:21] <alanc> there is no graphics driver for those systems in any package from Sun
[19:33:40] <balrog> alanc: I see.
[19:33:45] <alanc> Martin Bochnig was working on a port of the Xorg driver, but I don't know if he has packages available
[19:33:49] <balrog> is there any graphics driver anywhere at all?

[19:39:45] <axisys> tsoome: replace the disk ?
[19:39:55] <tsoome> yes, or check out the cacle
[19:39:58] <tsoome> cable*
[19:40:04] <axisys> tsoome: or system board ? assuming internal hba is builtin
[19:40:38] <tsoome> you can normally replace disks:D
[19:41:06] <axisys> tsoome: that disk was replaced already tho
[19:41:13] <tsoome> aha
[19:41:32] <tsoome> hm. if you swap disks in slots?
[19:41:46] <axisys> tsoome: i will try that ..
[19:41:52] <axisys> tsoome: ask them to try that rather..
[19:41:56] <lattera> so it looks like opensolaris b134 has some serious usb issues :(
[19:42:18] <axisys> tsoome: theorectically speaking ... %w 100 is always bad ?
[19:43:11] <tsoome> no, percent of time there are transactions waiting for
[19:43:11] <tsoome> service (queue non-empty)
[19:43:22] *** lattera has quit IRC
[19:43:34] <axisys> tsoome: just read that in man after asking you.. thanks
[19:44:21] <tsoome> in loaded system there can be such load, but combined with errors and high svc_t, i would say its an symptom indicating you have hardware issue with either disk, disk connection or hba
[19:44:35] <axisys> tsoome: thanks
[19:44:37] <tsoome> what system it is?
[19:44:59] <axisys> Sun Fire V240
[19:45:11] <tsoome> i have seen IO errors in X2100, and in that case it was actually disk backplane issue
[19:46:00] <deet> man, what's up with CIFS going deaf. i'm in 134 and this keeps happening, all i can do is reboot
[19:46:09] <tsoome> so it can be tricky to diagnose. if you can test disk in another slot or host, and there are no errors, it will indicate issue from connector to hba

[22:41:21] <jbit> wonder where it's getting rpool388 from
[22:41:34] <Triskelios> $ZFS-BOOTFS probably
[22:42:07] <jbit> why wold grub lie?! :)
[22:42:15] * jbit tries specifying it manually

[22:50:04] <kim0> hi folks .. what's the best way to take a full "image" style backup of a opensolaris machine on zfs rootfs
[22:50:21] <jbit> kim0: zfs send i guess
[22:50:50] <kim0> how to handle the partition tables and grub
[22:52:41] <jbit> ah you mean like that
[22:54:03] <jbit> Triskelios: hrm, i'm actually getting a different error now actually "NOTICE: zfs_domount: error 19"
[22:54:21] <jbit> so it seems to find the rpool but is failing to mount it for some reason, oddness
[22:54:23] *** Jago has joined #opensolaris
[22:54:27] <Stric> with old solaris jumpstart, you can/could setup a flash archive install.. which can fix the partition tables/grub part..

[22:56:11] <jbit> 19 is ENODEV, so it does sound like i'm specifying something incorrectly

[23:04:43] <kim0> Stric: so restoring from a flar restores partition table and grub ? .. would that work on latest opensolaris with zfs rootfs
[23:05:41] <jbit> seems like fs_create_unique_device() is failing.... interesting
[23:07:34] <Stric> kim0: that's not what I said. jumpstart in conjunction with restoring from flar does. (i.e.: jumpstart does)
[23:09:04] *** Apsu has joined #opensolaris
[23:09:14] <kim0> ok thnx
[23:16:30] <tsoome> flar itself is just an image archive.
[23:16:54] <tsoome> docs.sun.com, go to solaris 10 and advanced installation guilde
[23:16:58] <tsoome> guide*
[23:17:08] *** sunfun_ has quit IRC
[23:18:19] <kim0> so what I could do is, boot a live USB, run a scripts to create partitions and zfs pool, then flar to restore the image, grub to re-install itself .. reboot and it should work, am I right

[23:30:26] <jnss> how do you suggest i get rid of X starting at bootup
[23:31:15] <RoyK^> svcadm disable gdm
[23:31:16] *** taemun has quit IRC
[23:31:18] <TommyTheKid> jnss: svcadm disable (something X related)
[23:31:27] <jnss> thanks, appreciated
[23:31:37] <TommyTheKid> IIRC there are several services that support it too that can be disabled
[23:31:42] <RoyK^> TommyTheKid: gdm starts X
[23:31:50] <datadigger> jnss: pfexec svcadm disable gdm or graphical login (services may differ slightly over versions)
[23:32:07] <TommyTheKid> graphical login is probably the appropriate choice?
[23:32:08] *** taemun has joined #opensolaris
[23:32:48] <datadigger> Yeah, and perhaps even fontcache (just follow the try up to non-X stuff
[23:32:57] <datadigger> s/try/tree/
[23:33:54] <TommyTheKid> so I was disabling gdm directly
[23:34:13] *** blizzow1 has quit IRC
[23:34:38] <jnss> svcadm killed gnome ;)
[23:34:55] <jnss> but yes, svcadm disable gdm is what i ran
[23:34:57] <datadigger> Sounds great. jnss: then you hit the right one ;)
[23:35:06] <jnss> yep ;)

[23:45:42] <lewellyn> is it fair to assume that 6849278 is classified as a security bug?
[23:45:58] *** Kedare has quit IRC
[23:46:42] <alanc> lewellyn: it does not appear to be one
[23:46:56] <alanc> but it's not in a solaris/* category, if you're asking why it's not on bugs.os.o
[23:47:21] <richlowe> what is it?
[23:47:37] <lewellyn> alanc: that would explain that
[23:47:37] <alanc> it's closed as duplicate of 6765386, which is on bugs.os.o
[23:47:54] <lewellyn> and 6765386 is how i found it
[23:48:08] <alanc> 6849278 [development]zpool autoexpand should find ways to deal with user shrink pool size by mistake
[23:48:21] <richlowe> Hmmm
[23:48:28] <alanc> under development/zfs/kernel
[23:48:31] * lewellyn was wondering if growing the swap zvol had been fixed yet
[23:48:33] <nikolam> hm, just to mention. does anyone knows if osol could be installed on disks with gpt disk/partition table?
[23:48:44] <lewellyn> nikolam: only in the protective mbr
[23:49:24] <nikolam> lewellyn, means on gpt on pc?
[23:49:40] <lewellyn> the protective mbr is a feature of the gpt allowing backwards compatibility
[23:49:49] *** tg has joined #opensolaris
[23:50:06] <lewellyn> in other words: "opensolaris doesn't know how to boot off efi yet"
[23:50:29] <nikolam> i was thinking about pc bios machine / gpt
[23:50:38] <lewellyn> bios boots off mbr
[23:50:51] <lewellyn> if you make a gpt disk with no protective mbr, you can't boot it without efi
[23:51:35] <lewellyn> note that efi machines *are* starting to trickle onto the market, finally :D
[23:51:44] <lewellyn> (macs excluded from this conversation)
[23:52:17] <nikolam> I personally hope some other solution but efi will prevail
[23:52:36] <reflect> why so?
[23:52:52] <nikolam> efi is as I know closed source
[23:53:33] <lewellyn> there's efi-x for that
[23:54:11] <lewellyn> my understanding is that they're going to work on a wider-scope implementation when there's more of a need
[23:54:19] <nikolam> There is Coreboot as I read now.
[23:54:29] <lewellyn> coreboot won't catch on.
[23:54:32] <jbit> hrm, why does a live image zfs pool not fail due to device differences..
[23:54:34] <reflect> nikolam: I was just going to ask about that.. if there's been a comparison
[23:54:39] <lewellyn> efi's been slowly gaining traction for a decade
[23:54:52] <lewellyn> it takes a LONG time for people to give up backwards-compatibility
[23:54:55] <nikolam> As I read once, EFI is OS for himself
[23:55:16] <lewellyn> as is obp, in a sense
[23:55:44] <CIA-21> Stan Studzinski <Stan.Studzinski at Sun dot COM>: 6885904 active segkp pages can not be retired
[23:55:45] <reflect> then why wouldn't coreboot catch on?

[23:55:47] *** Bateau has joined #opensolaris
[23:55:48] <nikolam> On the other hand Coreboot is used for little less then decade on High end machines that are made on universities, I think
[23:56:39] *** edogawaconan has joined #opensolaris
[23:57:08] *** ubuntujenkins3 has joined #opensolaris
[23:57:15] <lewellyn> reflect: because almost every major os supports efi now
[23:57:15] <reflect> I mean.. what does EFI have that will get it to "make it", and CoreBoot lacks? I haven't looked into either very much myself
[23:57:18] <nikolam> Proprietary vendors are all for Efi
[23:57:21] *** stewart has quit IRC
[23:57:30] <lewellyn> nikolam: and there's an open source implementation
[23:57:35] <lewellyn> and linux has supported it for a decade
[23:57:38] <nikolam> reflect, nothing
[23:57:39] *** blizzow1 has joined #opensolaris
[23:57:53] <reflect> nikolam: sounds like industry backing, if you ask me
[23:58:03] <nikolam> yeah. open source efi?

[23:59:19] <nikolam> Going to gpt disks is inevitable. for support for disk larger then 2TB
[23:59:34] <aghaster> it's been like that for 15 minutes
[23:59:37] <aghaster> is that normal?
