[xstreamos-discuss] Sfxge drivers in XStreamOS - working!

[Gabriele Bulfon]

Thanks Carl,
happy to know that the new Solarflare sfxge package is working great on the real hardware ;)
It will be nice from you if you inform Solarflare of this.
And...sorry, I did not write any book on how to build your OS iso! :D
It depends a lot on the packaging system you choose.
I know Peter Tribble did a live presentation/event on the theme.
Can't say if he has slides or documents about it.
Thanks again,
Gabriele.

RE: [xstreamos-discuss] Sfxge drivers in XStreamOS
Am happy to say it working
Did the upgrade reboot then install the driver
Set the ip and all is there
So am happy and then a lot.
You have to teach me how you make your own  os iso  lol
I have my own repo and stuff and learning, did see you in the past asking how to do stuff
Hope you have written a nice book on how to do it lol
Anyway I will tell solarflare your os has there driver so they be happy.
Am one of the people to push them to release the driver and I got them about a week before I saw rich got them lol
Anyway I will keep you informed on my testing.
Thanks

First do a pkg update, after rebooting change publisher to xstreamos-beta3, then pkg update.
Reboot, if it works install the driver ;)

You may upgrade from the old one, but it's safer to reinstall:

What version of XStreamOS are you running? Is it the new beta3?
If not, you have to change publisher and do a full update, or just reinstall from the beta3 iso (better).
do a "pkg publisher", and let me know.

Thanks
Just incase am I doing anything wrong.
# pkg install pkg://sonicle.com/driver/network/sfxge@0.5.11,5.11-1.153.0.0.0
Creating Plan
pkg install: The following pattern(s) did not match any allowable packages. Try
using a different matching pattern, or refreshing publisher information:
pkg://sonicle.com/driver/network/sfxge@0.5.11,5.11-1.153.0.0.0
sorry am at work fighting with a nexenta problem lol so my brain it forget stuff today
thanks

The Solarflare 10GbE PCIE NIC Driver is available on the XStreamOS beta3 repo.
Just built XStreamOS kernel sources and published new packages.
Install the package pkg://sonicle.com/driver/network/sfxge@0.5.11,5.11-1.153.0.0.0
and let us know if it's working!
You can find the kernel source changes at our GitHub kernel fork here:
https://github.com/sonicle/xstreamos-illumos-gate
Taken from Rich Ercolani webrev sources:
http://cr.illumos.org/~webrev/rincebrain/illumos-sfxge/
And...this is our git changeset:
https://github.com/sonicle/xstreamos-illumos-gate/commit/9e2cc6ec5181184af8bcaffb174dec80363406c9

Good, I will definitely look into it together with an update to zone issues.
Did you test your build/compile of the driver enough? Did it work fine?
I don't have such hardware to test at the moment, so what I can do is build it, add it
to the repo and let you test it.
So you mean you have ESXI machines and a storage box behind, connected with the
10gb sfxge? Good! We made tests with another driver (igbx I think...) and it was great!

RE: [xstreamos-discuss] Sfxge drivers in XStreamOS
HI Gabriele
Yes I did get it to build and compile, but am still working on how to make my own os lol
Using you version on my storage box and it quick and works when the other os had problem on the install
Would like the SFxge driver for the ESXI setup I have and 10gb back bone will help
Still got a long way my self to do something like your?s but getting there lol
If you can add that be great you be the first that I can see to add and I know this will push a few people to us you in datacentre
Thanks

Hi Carl,
I've seen your postings at illumos list, and found the webrev for this driver.
Looks like you were able to build it. Did you? Did it work?
If this is the case, I may consider adding it to our XStreamOS illumos fork.
Let me know,
Gabriele.

I love you clear and simple version of the os, have to find out how you learn to do this.
Anyway if you can add it be grea,t if not then it not a problem
