Your own pool name should replace "abyss" at the line:<br /><br /><b>export POOL=abyss</b><br /><br />You can skip the chmod step by using ":wq!" in vi to save the changes to /mnt/eon0/.exec.<br /><br />Also, the nano editor was included in the binary kit as requested by many users, as a simpler editor.Andre Luehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886037020375947489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730844193902134967.post-25393256906687537212010-11-30T16:00:40.762-08:002010-11-30T16:00:40.762-08:00I figured out one way to deal with /usr/local not ...I figured out one way to deal with /usr/local not staying attached to the proper zpool and surviving a reboot. <br /><br />Base off another post, I looked in the /mnt/eon0/.exec file and discovered that there is a line there that defines pool names. Here's what I did to make the change. <br /><br />First thing: you need to change the .exec file to be writable:<br /><br /><b>chmod u+w /mnt/eon0/.exec</b><br /><br />Then, open it for editing with vi.<br /><br /><b>vi /mnt/eon0/.exec</b><br /><br />Now, look for the line:<br /><br /><b>export POOL=abyss</b><br /><br />and change it to the zpool name that you have. In my case the zpool I created was "tank", so I changed it to:<br /><br /><b>export POOL=tank</b><br /><br />(If you are unfamiliar with "vi", the easiest thing to do is use your arrow keys to position the cursor at the end of the line and then hit "x" to erase all the letters you need to remove. You'll end up with the cursor under the "=" sign. At that point, hit "a" to move to append mode and type in the name of your zpool. When you are done, hit the escape key, then type ":wq" without the quotes and hit enter.)<br /><br />After making the change above, and rebooting, /usr/local has the binary package linked via /tank/local as expected. <br /><br />I'll let Andre comment if there is another/better way to do this, but so far that worked for me.A.W.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07704852767323095186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730844193902134967.post-13884999114472642872010-11-30T14:33:42.809-08:002010-11-30T14:33:42.809-08:00I'm having a little trouble with the binary pa...I'm having a little trouble with the binary package. I can get it installed properly, but the /usr/local link to /tank/local is not suruving a reboot. Here's what I'm doing:<br /><br /><br />- load a new Solaris/Open Solaris 64 virtual box vm and boot it from eon-0.600-130-64-cifs.iso<br /><br />- run: "/usr/bin/install.sh" (I find that I have to run install before setup to properly survive the reboot with setup config in place)<br /><br />- reboot from disk. (Note: at this point /usr/local is a link to ../../abyss/local even though there is nothing there.)<br /><br />- run: "/usr/bin/setup"<br /><br />- run: "/usr/bin/updimg.sh /mnt/eon0/boot/x86.eon".<br /><br />- reboot<br /><br />- create a new zpool with "zpool create tank {dirves}"<br /><br />- create local dir with "zfs tank/local" <br /><br />- "/usr/local" still points to "../../abyss/local". I remove that link and then create a new symlink with "ln -s /tank/local /usr/local"<br /><br />- Extrat and install the binary contents to /usr/local. Everything is there, installed and working properly.<br /><br />- run "updimg.sh /mnt/eon0/boot/x86.eon"<br /><br />- reboot. <br /><br />At this point /tank/local still has everything in it, but /usr/local is still pointing to "../../abyss/local". In order to use it as expected, I have to "rm /usr/local" and then "ln -s /tank/local /usr/local" again. <br /><br />Someone above mentioned a post install script, but I don't see that. Can you help me figure out what I'm missing?A.W.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07704852767323095186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730844193902134967.post-58192386306110936582010-10-20T07:12:47.403-07:002010-10-20T07:12:47.403-07:00Hi Jogger,

Basically, it's faster to use an old computer running EON (or Nexenta) for dedicated storage over the network, than running local drives, and allows me much for flexibility in switching (i.e. rebooting) to different OSes, while having access to all of my data.<br /><br />One quick question: what do you think that EON offers over Nexenta? I've been playing around more with Nexenta, and it seems pretty similar underneath the hood (to be expected), but makes it a little easier to manage sharing and networks, etc.Peter J.

A couple of pros with zfs create, I can make snapshots, compress and roll back if there is a mistake occurs.<br /><br />Symlink entries added to .exec do not require updimg.sh to preserve they are created at time of boot.<br /><br />If you wish to preserve symlinks with updimg.sh the symlink entries should be added to .backup. Personally I use .exec because it is simply more dynamic but my dev environment is always in a constant state of change.<br /><br />Regarding the intel SS4200 and hidden IDE drive, intel did that on purpose. I do not know of a way around it. I have not seen one on this informative <a href="http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=1142&page=9" rel="nofollow">thread</a> either.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind commentsAndre Luehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886037020375947489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730844193902134967.post-52035072866955083492010-08-12T15:01:49.838-07:002010-08-12T15:01:49.838-07:00Hi Andre,

In the instructions for installing the binary kit, you have two lines:<br /><br />cd /zpool<br />mkdir local<br /><br />My question is this: why "mkdir" rather than "zfs create"?<br /><br />Does the answer change if I say that up to this point I have only created a pool and then used "sbdadm create-lu" to create an iSCSI volume?<br /><br />Also, am I correct in assuming that comands to create symlinks should be added to /mnt/eon0/.exec followed by a updimg.sh?<br /><br />Finally, on an Intel SS4200 NAS, the IDE device is hidden on a regular boot--do you know of a way to make it visible (other than to always boot while depressing rest)?

I google a site http://www.sunfreepacks.com where can download Solaris express 130.<br /><br />During installation, I suggest guys who want to install vscan into EON server. You should copy all files from SUNWvcanu, SUNWvscanr, SUNWvscankr to root directory. I means RAM directory not zpool directory. If installed most file into zpool directory, it will generate error and vscan service go maintenance mode.<br /><br />After solving the problem, vscan service startup smoothly.<br /><br />At last, thank Andre.
