I've got a green brain

Your Brain is Green

Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance.
You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver.
You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).

SLOG Latency

Image
After reading Brendan's newest blog entry, I was curious about what kind of slog latency we can see for our data migration load. To remind you, only synchronous writes go into the slog SSD devices. As this is a migration running, we can see mostly NFS write operations: In our configuration the SSD slog is mirrored (HDD4 and HDD8). Hence the same number of IOPS: The next picture shows us the latency for our SDD SLOG Device HDD 4. We can see here that latencies start at 79 us and are mostly under 200 us. There are some outliers, but approx. 95% are under 500 us: This matches quite well with the values Brendan blogged about (137-181 us), which includes NFSv3 latency. For reference (no picture here), we can see latencies of about 170-500 us mostly for NFSv4. By the way. SLOG Devices are mostly one way devices, as shown here. Only if things go really bad, they are read from...

Connecting Opensolaris to a Cisco VPN

I finally got my Opensolaris box hooked up to a Cisco VPN: 1. Get the tun/tap driver from Kazuyoshi. This driver is used for creating a using between the client and the Cisco VPN router. 2. Compile and install the driver: pkg install sunstudioexpress export CC=/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/cc ./configure make make install 3. Download the vpnc client. This program handels the vpn connection. I've used the version 0.5.1. 4. Get gmake pkg install SUNWgmake 5. Adjust installation paths (my personal preferences): Makefile: PREFIX=/opt/vpnc ETCDIR=/opt/vpnc/etc config.c (hardcoded locations): Line 250: return "/opt/vpnc/etc/ssl/certs"; Line 270: return "/opt/vpnc/etc/vpnc-script"; Line 275: return "/var/run/vpnc.pid"; Line 541: ... : /opt/vpnc/etc/", ... Line 760: ... "/opt/vpnc/etc/default.conf" ... Line 761: ... "/opt/vpnc/etc/vpnc.conf" ... gmake gmake install 6. Convert the pcf file into vpnc format using /opt/vpnc/pcf2vpnc . Stor...
