does anyone experienced crash booting DELL server R7525 (dual amd 7443)? ...It's a new server on which SmartOS has never been installed.

the crash is related to the mellanox card Mellanox ConnectX-4 LX 25GbE SFP Adapter

xmerlin: this? illumos.org/attachments/2413

Woodstock, right

#16129 is apparently a regression caused by #16023, i ran into it myself just yesterday

i wonder why #16023 wasn't backed out, that was probably just forgotten due to the holidays

:(

Woodstock, the previous release is ok with your card?

i don't know. i got the system yesterday and it runs omnios.

i just noticed because i updated to omnios-bloody and ran into the same issue

hi, are there any docs about how coal actually works?

and on a somewhat related note, is there a way to make changes done to /usbkey/config go live without rebooting the box?

you could manually do the steps that the boot scripts do that use /usbkey/config, how easily it is for those to take effect without reboot probably depends though on what the specific changes are

could you point me to which boot scripts those are? Sorry for these silly questions, I'm still getting my bearings

is there something specific you want to change?

it's mostly done as SMF method scripts

some common bits shared by several of them are in /lib/sdc

most of those method scripts are going to be in /lib/svc/method

though you'd need to look a a specific service to see exactly what a particular service is running

I have a machine with a single nic and want to use it as a hypervisor to host vms, the vms don't need to be reachable from the outside directly. What I though about doing was having an etherstub with vms connected to it and doing nat in the gz. There are some resource which seem to have been written before coal_enable was introduced and I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out how to do it right

to get my assumptions right, if I set coal=true in /usbkey/config and reboot, is ipnat -l supposed to give me something or is it implemented in some other way?
