16:37:00 Any suggestions on what to do if the nic is not detected during the OS install/reboot? 17:50:35 it's the 1st time I add an HDD to a hot-swap backplane of a server running illumos... sorry for the stupid question: how can I find the path (in /dev/) of the new added device? 17:59:10 for the record, "devfsadm -v" does not display any output 18:01:54 Do you have the `hotplug` service enabled? Does the device show up in the output of `cfgadm`? 18:03:02 aha, the 'hotplug' service is not enabled.... let me enable it and retry! 18:06:09 I do wonder if that should be on by default these days... 18:06:47 even enabling it, the newly plugged disk does not appears in 'cfgadm' output, I'm rebooting... 18:07:26 after reboot it shows up: "sata2/27::dsk/c3t27d0" 18:10:34 Oh, sata. I don't have a lot of experience with that. I don't remember if auto-online is enabled for default. 18:10:37 but I just detached the same disk and it still appears as "connected" in 'cfgadm' output (and now the hotplug service is enabled and running)... :'( 18:14:58 sorry, coming from FreeBSD is all new for me: I'm used to plug in a disk, then the kernel logs the new available device and I'm ready to use it... how the same process works in illumos/OmniOS? 18:27:25 warden you may need to use cfgadm -c configure and cfgadm -c unconfigure. unconfigure only succeeds if the disk is not in use. (modulo bugs) 18:32:11 tsoome: thanks, I just did it, but it looks like I'm issuing the wrong set of parameters... here it is the output: https://paste.omnios.org/?fcb38f3b35363ac4#CpjwPR8ypDvJ79omPmm4bsyX6pozZuhA1xkvKXFFuVNn 18:36:31 Sorry I used the wrong ap_id code, here it's the output with the right one: https://paste.omnios.org/?3d24f3c101ff6c17#CiiFrd8nqX9J1iwNwR1oaW58cg3bQ1KiYYmwjka2if3q 19:14:26 what you get from this one: cfgadm -al 19:17:07 here it is without any disk inserted (the system is installed onto a M.2 drive): https://paste.omnios.org/?2497bb7fc4e0c986#Dt7Cy9dN1tKvLP8RX4t9EMeCwon1XZSvqRjfoedYxQKe 19:17:57 ok and if you insert the disk and run cfgadm -c configure sata2 ? 19:19:41 it outputs me the usage help, as if I used wrong parameters (stderr = 3) 19:22:34 ok, so it wants the slot if too. 19:22:46 slot id* 19:23:32 and with slot id, you also will get the error message? 19:30:47 note the same error, but this one: https://paste.omnios.org/?3d24f3c101ff6c17#CiiFrd8nqX9J1iwNwR1oaW58cg3bQ1KiYYmwjka2if3q 19:33:36 so, are you sure it was connected to sata2/27 ? 19:34:02 does it tell anything in dmesg output? 19:42:08 I'm sure of that ap_id because I read it with the disk inserted since the OS boot. Nothing from the dmesg output by hot-inserting the disk. But I read a 'disconnected' event in dmesg after removing the disk which was present since boot. 19:43:06 maybe hot-swapping is not supported by the driver for this SATA controller in illumos (I successfully tested it with FreeBSD on the same hardware) 19:43:58 yes, that can be the case. assuming, the hw itself does support hot-insert and hot-remove. 19:45:57 since hot-plugging works with FreeBSD, maybe it's the illumos driver. So my resolution ability stops here! :) Tanks for your time! 19:47:49 tbh, I'm not too sure what is the exact state of sata support too. There ate not that many sata/ahci related updates over the years.... 20:37:28 Hi. I just created my first PR: https://github.com/omniosorg/omnios-extra/pull/1601 Could you check pls? 21:01:21 It looks like OmniOS has "set sata:sata_auto_online=1" in system(5) so I would expect, absent driver bugs, that the system would automatically online SATA disks
