I'm using ESXi 5.0, for the record.That is odd. With 4.1 and 5.0, I occasionally see it take awhile to refresh the nfs mount, but it has always worked eventually. What timeouts are you using in the VM startup page?
will@thor:~$ ssh root@esxi "esxcfg-nas -r"
Password:
Sysinfo error on operation returned status : Already exists. Please see the VMkernel log for detailed error information
Failed to restore mount thor-vmware Error was: Sysinfo error on operation returned status : Already exists. Please see the VMkernel log for detailed error information
Can you please add infos about
- your controller
- the command that you use to show the disk
- can you add or replace the disk via CLI
_Gea, your Web UI is awesome. Do you have a donation page that I can throw you some bills?

I'm assuming there is some obvious way to get it to re load the list of disks but i haven't found it yet. Without this it will make it a pain to hot replace failed disks etc.
Thanks for your time

Sorry was away from the physical machine over the weekend so couldn't do any more testing of unplugging drives until now. But thanks as when I was looking closer at what controller I was using and the commands I found the issue.
I have two controllers passed though. One is a M1015 in IT mode and it seems to be working fine with hot plugged drives showing up in napp-it in a few seconds. But the other controller I've been testing on is the onboard AMD SB950 6 port SATA 3 controller. And the problem is that by default SATA controllers do not mark the drives as configured when they are plugged in. SAS cards don't have this problem.
In OpenIndiana you can list the newly plugged in SATA devices with the command
cfgadm
They show up as connected but unconfigured and you do the following command to activate for example port sata0/2
cfgadm -c configure sata0/2
Also if you want cfgadm to do it automatically you edit your /etc/system and add the following line to the end:
set sata:sata_auto_online=1
Then SATA hot plug works the same as SAS and you are good to go
_Gea, would it be possible to add parameters to the install command so you can exclude things you don't want.
Personally I am not bothered about it creating a snaphot of the root pool or enterprise stuff like iSCSI, NFS etc.
Maybe have 3 parameters to start with;
-nosnap: Don't create snap of rpool
-home: only install services needed for home nas use (SMB etc)
-enterprise: full services install
Oh one other thing, could you make it so napp-it uses the same user accounts as are on the system, rather than having dedicated accounts?
A quick question regarding power saving - I'm using NAPP-IT on Solaris 11 Express, with 20 2TB hard drives. I've got power management working, so all the drives spin down when not in use, which cuts power consumption from 180W to 80W - pretty nice at night (this is a home server). However, spin up takes FOREVER - it spins up each drive sequentially, not in parallel. Any way to force parallel spin up? Right now it takes about 8-10 seconds per drive, so that's a minute or two every time I need to wake the server back up, which gets annoying fast.
Drives are connected to an eight and sixteen port LSI 9201 card(s).
Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to add: on power on of the entire system, all the drives spin up in parallel already.

I'd like to create an appliance group for replication, but I'd like them to communicate over the internet. The reason for this is to overcome a bottleneck with our IPSEC vpns that limit replication speed to ~20Mbps.
Will this work, and what are the implications regarding firewall ports needed to create the appliance-group and for the replication jobs?
Thanks!
I get the exact same behavior, would be interested in why it works that way (or more importantly how to change it).
Has napp-it been updated to be compatible with Solaris 11? (not express) I remember seeing that people were having difficulty getting power management to work.
I'm considering migrating my mdadm raid 6 from debian (xfs) to a raidz2 all-in-one. After tinkering with OpenIndiana in virtualbox for a while i'm not sure i'm capable of dealing with the Solaris learning curve after so many years of using linux, and i certainly don't feel comfortable trusting my data to something i don't have a firm understanding of. Does anyone have any guess to an ETA for the illumian release? I haven't been able to find anything recent and their forums are very quiet. Illumian seem's to be the best option for someone like me, i just don't seem to have the desire for learning entirely new OS's that i once did. Thanks!
Just a stupid question, but is it possible to run slimserver on Open indiana for Logitech squeezebox?
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCentreLogitech Media Server is the new name for Squeezebox Server, starting with version 7.7. Before it was known as Squeezebox Server (version 7.4 to 7.6) and SlimServer (before 7.4)
Logitech Media Server is Open Source Software and written in Perl. Logitech Media Server runs on pretty much any platform that Perl runs on, including Linux, Mac OSX, Solaris and Windows.
So I how would one install it?
Does it run alongside napp-it?
Has any1 tried it or know of a good tutorial?
Thanks
You should always connect the SAN machines over Internet via a VPN.
In any case, all replication members need to keep their hostname and IP adresses.
If you VPN solution is not fast enought, try a (virtualized) software firewall on faster hardware.
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Solaris_Installation_Guide
It appears to run on port 9000, which will not interfere with napp-it.
# Failed test 'use Net::SMTP::TLS;'
# at t/00-load.t line 6.
# Tried to use 'Net::SMTP::TLS'.
# Error: Can't locate Net/SSLeay.pm in @
I use monowall on both sides, one side already being virtualized on significant hardware. Best I can tell, neither side is cpu bottlenecked, and the issue is some kind of software bottleneck with regard to encryption speed. I can make major changes such as moving both to hardware with a crypto card or migrating to a different firewall distro that doesn't suffer such a limitation, but those solutions require much time and testing. The first testing I need to do is this, to replicate outside the vpn tunnel.
I understand the security implications of such a thing, and that's not an issue in this case. If it's not practically possible, I'll drop it, but if I can forward the proper ports and adjust the group settings with the new ips (I've done this part before after moving one offsite), I'd like to try it. I'm just not sure what ports napp-it is using to establish it's appliance group.
Thanks!

If anyone else is playing with jumbo packets -
I have 2 XR997 10GbE cards - I had jumbo working at one point (9014), but I noticed after following up on some networking degredation that it was no longer working.
...
It turns out the cisco vpn client software will silently limit your MTU to 1300 (or 1272 w/ overhead).
Ok. M1015 flashed to 9240, but still not seeing Spindown.

I looked at powertop in napp-it, and it seems something is keeping the system awake. Any help here?

Wahhh, why are there so many things keeping my system awake??? And why is my CPU at 3.1ghz consistently? Shouldn't it ramp down? EIST is enabled in BIOS. I'm running ESXi 5.0 though. But it should support my i5-2400 right?
_Gea:
FYI:
I got the following error message when installing afp napp-it.
Were you able to resolve this issue?
I am not familiar with the cisco vpn client - is this software running in OI or another machine with an XR997? Is this with ESXi or running native?
Thanks for the heads up!
Gea,
