Build environment for OpenIndiana

Just a quick post - I wanted to build few things like Nagios NRPE, few Perl modules with C bindings etc. So I needed to install toolchain, compiler (rather Sun Studio than gcc) etc.

The easy way is:

pkg install SUNWcvs SUNWsvn SUNWarc SUNWj6dmo SUNWj6dev SUNWj6dmx SUNWj6dvx \
SUNWj6cfg SUNWj6rtx SUNWj6man SUNWgnu-automake-19 SUNWgnu-automake-110 SUNWaconf \
SUNWmercurial SUNWlibtool ss-dev SUNWsfwhea SUNWhea SUNWxwinc SUNWxorg-headers \
SUNWi2cs SUNWgpch SUNWgnome-common-devel SUNWgmake SUNWbison SUNWflexlex

pkg install SUNWcvs SUNWsvn SUNWarc SUNWj6dmo SUNWj6dev SUNWj6dmx SUNWj6dvx \
SUNWj6cfg SUNWj6rtx SUNWj6man SUNWgnu-automake-19 SUNWgnu-automake-110 SUNWaconf \
SUNWmercurial SUNWlibtool ss-dev SUNWsfwhea SUNWhea SUNWxorg-headers SUNWi2cs \
SUNWgpch SUNWgnome-common-devel SUNWgmake SUNWbison SUNWflexlex

pkg install developer/sunstudio12u1

Nagios NRPE @OpenIndiana

I tried to install $title and I have found excellent howto for (Open?)Solaris 10 here: http://www.utahsysadmin.com/2008/03/14/configuring-nagios-plugins-nrpe-on-solaris-10/

There is as catch which demonstrates itself by a fucking compilation error:

root@spagetka:/usr/src/nrpe-2.12# make
cd ./src/; make ; cd ..
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/share/src/nrpe-2.12/src'

utils.c:

*** Compile finished ***

So you have to edit the nrpe.c according to linked howto.

Compiling DBD::mysql @OpenIndiana

I tried to compile DBD::mysql module from CPAN on oi_148 by SunStudio cc using commands:

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/mysql/5.1/bin/amd64"
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan[1]> install DBD::mysql

I got:

cpan[1]> install DBD::mysql

(...)

I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:

  cflags        (mysql_config) = -I/usr/mysql/5.1/include/mysql  -xprefetch=auto -xprefetch_level=3 -mt -fns=no -fsimple=1 -xbuiltin=%all -xlibmil -xlibmopt -xnorunpath -m64   -DHAVE_RWLOCK_T -DUNIV_SOLARIS
  embedded      (mysql_config) = 
  libs          (mysql_config) = -lrt -L/usr/mysql/5.1/lib/amd64/mysql -R/usr/mysql/5.1/lib/amd64/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lsocket -lnsl -lm
  mysql_config  (guessed     ) = mysql_config
  nocatchstderr (default     ) = 0
  nofoundrows   (default     ) = 0
  ssl           (guessed     ) = 0
  testdb        (default     ) = test
  testhost      (default     ) = 
  testpassword  (default     ) = 
  testsocket    (default     ) = 
  testuser      (guessed     ) = root

To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and
'perldoc INSTALL'.

Checking if your kit is complete...

The problem was that I mixed up 64-bit AMD64 MySQL libraries with stock 32-bit Perl binaries. Solution was to omit amd64 from path:

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/mysql/5.1/bin"
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan[1]> install DBD::mysql

Telling OpenIndiana firewall to accept my rules

Let's say that I have my own rules:-) For firewall of course. And I want them to be set to kernel instead of automatically generated rules by services, FEA, or whatever.

Then I have to prepare rules into files: /etc/ipf/ipf.conf (rules for IPv4) and /etc/ipf/ipf6.conf (for IPv6).

For example it can be something like this:

/etc/ipf/ipf.conf

#################### top section #####################
block in all
pass in quick on lo0 all
#################### end of top section #####################

# special rules here

########################## default policy ################################

pass out all keep state
pass out proto icmp all

pass in proto tcp from any to any port = ssh keep state

# Munin & Nagios
pass in proto tcp from any to any port = 4949 keep state
pass in proto tcp from any to any port = 5666 keep state

pass in proto icmp all

# Traceroute
pass in proto udp from any to any port 33433 >< 33626 keep state

/etc/ipf/ipf6.conf

#################### top section #####################
block in log all
pass in quick on lo0 all
pass out all keep state
pass out proto ipv6-icmp all
#################### end of top section #####################

pass in proto tcp from any to any port = ssh keep state
pass in proto ipv6-icmp all
pass in proto udp from any to any port 33433 >< 33626 keep state

Then you have to change service parametes to accept the files:

svccfg -s network/ipfilter:default setprop firewall_config_default/policy = astring: custom
svccfg -s network/ipfilter:default setprop firewall_config_default/custom_policy_file = astring: "/etc/ipf/ipf.conf" 
svcadm refresh network/ipfilter

or

svcadm enable network/ipfilter

And finaly verify that rules are present:

ipfstat -nio
ipfstat -nio6

OpenIndiana Build 148 @ VMWare ESXi 4.1

I have been trying to run an OpenIndiana server in a virtualized envrionment (sort of a development and test machine). And I ran into problems, actually into one huge fucking problem at the very beginning: The OI installer CD image does not boot inside VMWare virtual server when you have more than 4 virtual CPUs set in the virtual machine profile.

Easy solution: Set only 2 CPUs and everything works fine. Well, not everything... The Open Indiana fucking installer freezes in the end instead of restarting the system, but it worked for me after all.

My next article: Why do we virtualize? What the fuck virtualization brings to our lives and what it takes? And why do we suffer so miserably with commodity servers...?:-)
