16:40:16 Hi, I'm trying to boot smartos on lenovo p50 over the network. It boots into the setup "wizard", but apparently it's not picking up neither the built-in keyboard nor an external usb one. Any ideas? 16:43:34 Thinkpads need a special driver for keyboards and various IO IIRC 16:48:08 Hrm, I tried a different machine (an old desktop) and that one didn't pick up the keyboard either, so maybe it's not a ThinkPad specific thing? 17:04:41 aru : have you checked all usb-ports (if there are more than one)? 17:05:40 aru: See if your bios has an emulation mode for USB input devices. 17:28:57 wasn't there problems like that with some usb3 chips, disabling xhci or enabling/forcing usb2 in bios helped?? 17:29:19 or was that just a problem with the xhci driver initially 17:32:14 I must admit I have not checked all USB ports yet 18:42:30 aru: you might be able to install in VM and if you change the MAC address, you can just flash image onto internal drive and access over network. 18:43:14 yeah, I was wondering if something like that would be possible 18:43:24 but it feels a bit hacky 18:44:17 isn't there a way to provide a pre-made answers and have the installation happen without any manual intervention? 18:44:47 no idea 18:45:21 what you could also do is install to USB drive elsewhere, change mac, boot on your laptop, add internal drive to zpool as mirror and remove the USB one 18:45:47 (after resync) 18:45:50 right 18:46:00 guess that's the way I'll go 18:46:08 if you'll netboot, you 18:46:11 you'll be fine 18:46:52 if you'll want to boot from the internal drive, you might need to refresh stuff with piadm (in booted system) 18:47:08 and if you'll be creating pools manually, don't forget zpool create -B (bootable). 18:50:06 or you can always boot from the usb stick 18:59:10 aru: You can actually do an automated setup. It's just not documented. 18:59:32 It's documented for Triton, and it's similar for standalone. 18:59:45 I'll actually create the doc for it right now. 19:03:52 much appreciated 19:04:05 I'll toy with the install-in-vm-and-move in the meantime 19:31:19 hrm, so I created a vm with an external disk and a nic which had a mac address that the real machine will then have, installed it to the external disk, could ssh to it. I shut the vm down, plugged the external drive into the real machine, booted it over network and so far so good 19:31:39 except I can't ssh to it, I get connection refused. Anything obvious I missed? 19:32:55 Check the display for SMF errors, I think it should show you if something went wrong. 19:33:36 Other than that, make sure the config has the right mac address. 19:36:34 doesn't show anything, just the login prompt 19:36:52 and according to dhcp logs I got the mac address right 19:37:00 Can you ping it? 19:38:01 yup 19:38:25 then I don't see why it wouldn't start ssh. 19:40:21 Unless you can get on a console you're going to have to do something like mount the pool elsewhere and look at what the logs say. 19:44:20 I'm wrapping it up for today, I'll continue tomorrow 19:53:19 Hi! My system went down and won't come back up; just had my first look at the screen and it panics on boot: "blkptr at %p has invalid TYPE 220" (in dsl_scan_prefetch_thread > arc_read > zio_read > zfs_blkptr_verify). Any ideas where I might start looking to debug/resolve that? 21:49:56 I couldn't let it go so I tried once more, just before the login prompt I get "cannot mount /zones: directory not empty" and "svc:/system/filesystem/local:default: WARNING: /usr/sbin/zfs mount -a failed: exit status 1" and that that service failed fatally and transitioned to maintenance. could that be the culprit? 22:06:56 aru: Yes, that might indeed be. The network/ssh service depends on filesystem/local, so if that one fails the SSH server wouldn't come up. It's curious though that the directory where it's trying to mount /zones would be non-empty. 22:10:16 Wonder whether there is another filesytem/pool attached to the system that already has a /zones? Then I can imagine it trying to mount those two in the same place, and erroring because after the first mount happened it's no longer empty. (Just guessing, not sure if that would give this exact error message.) 22:11:50 huh 22:11:54 that actually could be 22:12:47 sigh, guess that's what I get for not purging systems before trying to put something else on top of them 22:26:11 Should linux guests have the ability to set hugepages with bhyve HVM? 22:26:52 This is barfield, not sure why my nick isn't updating 22:31:16 And apparently keyboard works when I boot from a USB stick 23:30:19 How can I backup BHYVE zone? 23:30:39 Depends on your definition of backup. 23:31:01 You can zfs send the datasets and zoneadm export the config. 23:32:06 In a complete restorable fashion 23:32:31 In a way that makes me able to enable the backup on a different smart node 23:33:23 You want to use a backup solution for that. https://www.urbackup.org/ 23:33:31 So let's say I have sn03BHYVEWindowsFileMakerServer03 running on sn03, and I would like to move this instance to sn09 23:34:00 Sounds like a migration to me 23:34:15 Sure. 23:34:23 If you're using Triton, then just use sdc-migrate. 23:34:31 bahamat: does vmadm send/receive work on bhyves? 23:34:32 bare back smartos 23:34:41 No HTML5, only the regular CLI 23:35:18 I think it does, but you have to work around OS-6789 23:35:18 https://smartos.org/bugview/OS-6789 23:37:00 That seems easy enough. TyrfingMjolnir: vmadm send | ssh root@sn09 'vmadm receive' should do the trick. Just create the zones dataset as mentioned in that bug after it finishes on the destination node. 23:37:22 then `vmadm start ` 23:37:57 whoops, I meant zones/cores/UUID 23:39:34 W2k3 runs on bhyve? Or is this a KVM? 23:57:49 Ok, I just figured out a way easier way to deal with that. 23:58:27 After vmadm recv, do `zoneadm -z detach ; zoneadm -z attach`, and it will automatically recreate the cores dataset.
