Bind9 within a 'zone' (container)?

Is it possible to run bind9 (named) chrooted within a solaris zone?

I need to add stuff like /dev/null and /dev/urandom and normally use 'mknod' for that, but that is not an
option within a zone.

So I tried to symlink the /dev directory into my chroot jail and while solaris approved that, named complained:

open(/dev/poll) failed: Number of symbolic links encountered during path name traversal exceeds MAXSYMLINKS

How can I get named to run within a zone chrooted ??

Cannot login to b 131!


   Hello,

   Today I did a fresh install of b 131 to an old machine.  I logged in with
no problem, and then I opened a terminal and I tried to install the legacy Nvidia
driver. This did not work, so I did what I did in the past

# cd /var/sadm

# mkdir -p  NVDAgraphics/install
# mkdir -p NVDAgraphicsr/install

Then I added the following line to each pkginfo file, which is stored in
the two folders:

CLASSES=none

I tried to reinstall the driver and there was no problem at all this time.
Then I rebooted the system by entering

# pfexec /usr/sbin/init 6

When the system rebooted I tried to login, but after a while the X server crashed
and the login screen reappeared. I tried a couple of times but nothing different
happened. Then I logged in using the xterm thing and I checked file Xorg.0.log.old.
The interesting part follows:

Since using the nvidia driver is not very important, I  run
nvidia-xconfig and I replaced nvidia with nv in the driver section.
Unfortunately, this did not worked. I removed the driver but this did
not worked again, so I reinstalled the system!

Xorg freezes unders build 130

  Hello,

I have installed OpenSolaris b130 on two machines and I have noticed that
Xorg freezes just after login. I have done a google search and I have found that
by deleting a symlink and creating a new the problem is solved. Although I have
done this to my machines the problem is there and sometimes the machines
start just fine and sometimes they freeze. Now I was wondering whether 
b 131 solves this problem for sure?

Kind regards,

A.S.

Solaris 11 ?


I was talking to someone and they said they had Solaris 11 installed. Not knowing enough to dispute what was
said, I kept quiet. I thought Solaris 10/09 was Sol 10.

ZFS and Oracle RAC

Hi,

I am working in a environment that involves Oracle RAC. We are 
implementing 2 clusters with 4 node each.
The plan is to  do an RMAN  to  ZFS  filesystem  labeled  /backup . The  
/backup  filesystem is 12 TB  which
should be sufficient between the 2 clusters. 

I believe in practice that your supposed to deport and import zpools 
between hosts. The plan is to mount /backup ZFS
filesystem only on node 1 in cluster 1 and node 5 in cluster 2. Is there 
any way I can keep backup mounted on both
nodes simultaneously without having to deport and import all the time. I 
think the answer will be no because zfs is not
a global filesystem.

But I've asked the DBA's if the ORACLE SID will be different on both 
nodes. They said yes and that I like to setup
the structure so backups to node 1 is done in one directory structure 
and node 5 in another. So in effect you have the
following:

/backup/node1
/backupnode5

The drives on the /backup filesystem is all SATA drives.

So again the basic question can I maintain /backup filesystem on both 
node simutaneously? Or will I have to deport and import
on the nodes respectively?

Thanks,

Phillip

Oracle and 'x86 platform?

I read John Fowler's presentation on the Sun/Oracle merger 
(http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/ <at> ocom/documents/webcontent/044518.pdf) 
and one thing which struck me is how little mention there is of x86 
hardware.  There is only a single bullet item on page 12 which 
mentions x86 hardware clusters.

Obviously x86 type hardware (and solarisx86) is not going away, but if 
John Fowler's presentation is to be believed, there will be an 
increased focus on SPARC-based platforms as a (the?) vehicle to 
deliver Oracle applications.  The whole system approach ("IBM" style) 
will allow delivering more total performance and value to the Oracle 
business customer.

Does anyone here have thoughts about how the acquisition might impact 
x86 Solaris as we have become accustomed to it?

Bob

CIFS and NFS

Googling around I get the impression that NFS is much faster in reading 
files from the (NFS) server than CIFS from a CIFS server. For writing 
this is mostly the other way around; CIFS beats NFS.
Is this in essence true? Because if it is, I should choose NFS for 
mostly read-only shares and CIFS for read/write ones. Correct me if I'm 
wrong.
This is all on OpenSolaris-131

Dell Poweredge T100, again


I posted here a while back concerning the above mentioned machine. I asked had anyone ran Solaris on it.
Someone replied ,"yes, but that machine is sort of old". I guess I don't understand the reply, it looks like
they are still shipping the box. Is it outdated? I don't really care, as long as I can run Solaris on it. I have
several old computers, and the only one I can load Solaris on is pretty old.

ZFS Nevada -> ZFS OpSol 20xx.xx

I've seen conflicting reports of this, so I figured I'd just ask here.

Is there any reason a RAID-Z volume (3 drives) from b_99 SXCE couldn't be imported into a fresh install of
2009.06 (or 2010.03) on the same hardware?  Obviously (it's RAID-Z) it's not the boot drive.
