The problems specific to 13066 appear to be mostly network related which is not necessarily an AI issue. However what I'm really asking for here is if we think there may be things in addition to the network problems described in bug that may also be contributing to the overall performance problems. One example might be things like grouping some of the package installs together to reduce the number of pkg install commands. Also things like looking into using the pkg api directly to help speed things up. I don't know if any of these ideas even reasonable or make any sense but I wanted to at least get some discussions going on these types of things. > > In order to recognize if it is AI specific, I might recommend > to try the installation transfer phase invoked within installed > OpenSolaris system on affected machines - e.g. > > # ptime /usr/bin/pkg image-create -f -F -p opensolaris.org=<ips_repo> > <http://192.1.4.1:8009> /test_root > # ptime /usr/bin/pkg -R /test_root install entire <mailto:entire at 0.5.11> > # ptime /usr/bin/pkg -R /test_root install SUNWcsd <mailto:SUNWcsd at 0.5.11> > # ptime /usr/bin/pkg -R /test_root install SUNWcs <mailto:SUNWcs at 0.5.11> > # ptime /usr/bin/pkg -R /test_root install babel_install > <mailto:babel_install at 0.1> > > And try 'one client' and 'many clients' cases. I think some of this has been tried and found that the problems are mostly around the package ordering as described in bug 13321. As for bug 13066 this looks like a network issue and not really something specific to AI or pkg(5) for that matter.
