Is zpool v28 supported in any way?

Hi there.

Most of you are probably still celebrating new year, and happy new
year to everyone.

Is zpool v28 supported in nexenta? either officially of via testing build ?

All references I could find were either v26 mentioned in some forums,
or v22 like in wikipedia..

I unfortunately upgraded my pool to v28 and as such I'm now looking
for a distribution that supports it. Nexenta looks like a great mix
between gnu/linux and Solaris..

Thanks

upgrading when there are zones?

hello all,
reading the faq, i'm not sure to understand:
Are you planning things so that when the host OS is upgraded, the 
'containers' will also be updated? Any idea when this might be completed?
http://www.nexenta.org/projects/site/wiki/FAQ#head-dcaa3645b5f96d4b55b0bcb4b61ec14baf11002a

does it mean, that if i have zones in NCP, they cannot be upgraded if 
the kernel is upgraded?
actually, i'm using ten zones in os2009.06, and i'm wondering if i can 
migrate to NCP 3.0 to host my zones (essentially web services)

thanks in advance for help,

gerard

Newbie questions...

Folks,

I have downloaded and installed NCP 3.0 Beta on a VMware box. I would appreciate it
if you could answer a few newbie questions:

1. The following command to install java SDK returns an error:

# apt-get install sun-java6-sdk

The error is "Couldn't find package sun-java6-sdk." Can someone please tell me what is
it that I am missing?

2. Although, I am able to install NCP 3.0 on a VMware box, I am not able to install
vmware-tools on it. I am running the following command:

# cd /tmp
# tar zxpf /media/VMwareblah
# cd /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib
# ./vmware-inst.pl

T he error I get is that "VMware tools 7.7.5 for Linux will not install on the operating
system you are running. Please install the appropriate version of VMware tools."

This is not that important. I can manage without installing VMware tools.

3. I need to package some Java programs on top of NCP 3.0 and create a new iso
image. Can you please guide me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter

reliably corrupting a zfs pool with 3.0b3 and Xen

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out Nexenta 3 on Xen PV (not successful yet, using
Nexenta 2 techniques) but along the way, I noticed it was pretty easy to
come up with a corrupted zpool in the process.

Basically:
1) install Nexenta as a HVM, poweroff
2) change DomU definition to PV, poweron
3) zpool import -f the pool (fails), poweroff
4) change the DomU back to HVM, poweron
5) zpool is damaged, zfs recommends restore from backup, zpool import fails.

There's a chance Xen 4 is buggy, though it seems to work fine for my
linux DomU's.  But even if it is, I'm really surprised that with
round-trip checking that the zpool could get corrupted.

I'm uncomfortable that it's this easy to corrupt the zpool and looking
for ideas as to how I can isolate where the damage is happening.

Hints for getting PV to work properly are also welcome, though secondary.

Thanks,
-Bill

I've successfully used Sandisk 4GB USB flash (mirrored) for boot/OS.  
At $13 each, they've been very reliable...
