I'm running OI 151a9 and have started seeing some odd behavior. I've been running this server for a while (since a4) and never seen this before.


The system is a file server for a few video streaming devices which primarily use SMB. Lately, the players have been freezing up and I lose connectivity to the shares for a while. Another symptom is that the login process for new ssh sessions hangs for several minutes.

The players will start playing the movies for a bit (anywhere from 1-10 minutes), then the video locks up and smb shares are unavailable.

This happens for both windows clients and the streaming players.

Any ideas where to start looking? I'm very familiar with Linux, but not so much Solaris/Illumos. The server is virtualized on ESXi 5.0.0 with the motherboards SATA controller in passthrough. All the the pools are healthy.


There was a console message that contained (I pulled this from /var/adm/messages);

Feb  3 09:26:27 media01 /usr/lib/nfslockd[839]: [ID 491006 daemon.error] Cannot establish NLM service over <file desc. 9, protocol udp> : I/O error. Exiting
Feb  3 09:26:27 media01 svc.startd[10]: [ID 652011 daemon.warning] svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr:default: Method "/lib/svc/method/nlockmgr" failed with exit status 1.

I then noticed that I had both NFS & SMB enabled for the primary share (/shared/Media). So I changed it down to only SMB, since the players only require SMB, and the error message seems related to NFS. Still continuing to get the issue.

Thanks.
