More ZFS Fun and new hardware
Apr. 12th, 2015 11:20 amLast night I decided to replace my venerable APC Smart UPS 1400 and a slightly newer Smart UPS 1500 that provide the main part of the lab with a much newer pair of Smart UPS SMX1500RM2U Units. That part of the evening maintenance went fairly well and I do like now being able to check how much wattage I'm pulling in my lab without having to guesstimate with a Kill-A-Watt.
I then decided to update the OS on both of my ZFS Storage nodes. That turned into an interesting experience that I am still in the process of sorting out the rest of the way.
First, the one that is primarily for virtual machines was encountering the "no hostid" bug still from when I did the upgrade from zfs 0.6.2 to 0.6.3 . Then, as there was a kernel update and a zfs update, neither one actually built the kernel modules for zfs for the correct kernel. I ended up employing the forced reinstall mentioned by deajan to rebuild the modules for the new kernel.
Still working on a networking issue on the file storage node, but with the new kernel modules things seem to be working okay now.
