I couldn't update my OpenIndiana box today because I'd run out of space in / and /var. It was actually two problems. Problem 1 was I had clean up some very annoying snapshots (which I created, so I'm the annoying one), which I found with:
zfs list -H -t snapshot -o …I've really only used the Intel ixgbe 10 Gb cards (up to this point) with Solaris (or Linux for that matter). I discovered the source of a long-standing problem we were having a couple of months ago. I had some of the clues, but I only put it together earlier …
I haven't been paying close attention the last few weeks and was surprised to discover that hipster stopped updating. So, I finally had time to go read the mailing list and discovered that they'd moved to a hipster-2014.1 repository that contains just the most recent packages.
Needed to set …
I have a few OpenIndiana servers now, at home and at work. I've been working hard on clustering lately. To help with my work, in both places I'm busy setting up a local repository, something I can update periodically and then use it to update all my servers and containers …
Today I finally got my NAS cluster working on the 3 OI 151a7 boxes I have set up in the lab at work for this purpose.
I took the work Mike Rowell had done on Linux-HA clustering and tweaked it a bit, and then added an OCF resource script to …
This was frustrating:
# zpool import nas2
Assertion failed: rn->rn_nozpool == B_FALSE, file ../common/libzfs_import.c, line 1086, function zpool_open_func
Discovered that I needed to tell zpool where to look for the devices:
# zpool import -d /devices/scsi_vhci nas2
There was a time when I would have known that already, if …
Hi,
This took me a bit of time to figure out. I needed to update some OpenIndiana boxes from 151a to 151a4 and they had no direct access to the internet. I did, however, have a box that I could relay the requests through. I first figured this method out …
I've been having some problems with the OpenIndiana oi_148 to oi_151a update, but only on one virtual machine in particular. Until today i've been stuck, until I thought to:
pkg set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org
After that, the image-update went fine. I need to learn more of the options for pkg …
Whenever I create a zone on Solaris, I have a couple of things I always seem to have to fix beyond the usual configuration. Since I don't do it that often, I have to look them up repeatedly, so I thought I'd just put them in this post and maybe …
Recently, a friend contacted me about recovery of a Solaris box he had made a bit of a mistake on. The problem was, he had moved everything from / into a subdirectory of /, let's call it /cores for our purposes here. Commands wouldn't work. He had a running /sbin/sh shell …
