The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes up to and including snv_121 for
both x86/x64 and SPARC platforms. This update includes fixes to the
Caiman "Slim Install" and the Image Packaging System (IPS).
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so by setting their preferred publisher to the above URL and using the
"image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the
"Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before updating a system, please review this document
for all of the known issues that may affect the update.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed. Bug reports and requests for enhancement are welcome
through http://defect.opensolaris.org/
Known issues in this repository update
======================================
9568 image-update produces driver removal of policy warnings
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9568
When updating to build 117 or beyond, warnings of the following
form may appear
driver (ibd) upgrade (removal of
policy'read_priv_set=net_rawaccess write_priv_set=net_rawaccess)
failed: minor node spec required.
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
9973 api should gracefully handle updatelogexception
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9973
When starting the Package Manager or performing other packaging
operations using pkg(1), a message of the following form may
appear
UpdateLogException: Package V pkg BRCMbnx
0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T210528Z
is already in the catalog
Work-around: Execute the following command from the command
line
user at host$ pfexec pkg refresh --full
10010 reconfigure transport timeouts
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10010
When installing packages, the installation may fail with
messages of the form
1: Framework error: code: 28
reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds
with <some number> out of <some other number> bytes received
Work-around: Set the environment variable PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT to
15 minutes (900 seconds) or more, depending on the throughout
to the repository and the size of the files in the package in
question
user at host$ PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=900
user at host$ export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT
user at host$ pfexec pkg install <name of packages>
10630 driver action gets confused by driver_aliases entries not covered by an
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10630
When using image-update to update to build 121 or later,
messages of the following form may be displayed
The 'pcieb' driver shares the alias 'pciexclass,060400'
with the 'pcie_pci' driver, but the system cannot
determine how the latter was delivered. Its entry on
line 2 in /etc/driver_aliases has been commented out.
If this driver is no longer needed, it may be removed
by booting into the 'opensolaris-2' boot environment
and invoking 'rem_drv pcie_pci' as well as removing
line 2 from /etc/driver_aliases or, before rebooting,
mounting the 'opensolaris-2' boot environment and
running 'rem_drv -b <mountpoint> pcie_pci' and removing
line 2 from <mountpoint>/etc/driver_aliases.
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
10778 image-update to snv_120 produces warnings about etc/sma/snmp/mibs
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10778
When using image-update to update to build 120 or later, a
message of the following form may be displayed
Warning - directory etc/sma/snmp/mibs not empty - contents
preserved in
/tmp/<path>/var/pkg/lost+found/etc/sma/snmp/mibs-<timestamp>
Work-around: This message can be ignored.
10807 beadm destroy fails in build 121
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10807
Attempting to destroy a boot environment (BE) using beadm(1M)
will cause an error of the following form to be displayed
Unable to destroy <name of BE>.
Alternatively when installing or uninstalling a package, an
error of the following form may be displayed
pkg: unable to destroy snapshot <YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS>
Work-around: To destroy the BE in question, if possible reboot
into a third boot environment and destroy the BE in question
from there.
In the case of a packaging operation, the stale ZFS snapshot
can be removed. To determine the name of the ZFS snapshot in
question, the following set of commands may be used
user at host$ beadm list -Ha | grep <YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS> | \
cut -d\; -f2
The snapshot in question can then be destroyed using
user at host$ pfexec zfs destroy <full name of ZFS snapshot>
10837 ipkg zone creation will always warn after changeset 7bdf8c791f04
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10837
When installing a zone on a system running build 121, the
following message may be displayed
/usr/lib/brand/ipkg/pkgcreatezone[442]: [: argument expected
Work-around: This message can be ignored. If zoneadm(1M)
reports that the installation completed, then the zone was
successfully installed.
6820576 Kernel panic when booting Nevada and OpenSolaris
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6859248
When booting build 121 on a VMware guest instance, the system
may panic with the following function listed in the kernel
stack trace
pcplusmp`ioapic_read
Work-around: Boot with the "pcieb" driver disabled by editing
the GRUB "kernel$" entry. This can be done interactively by
typing the character "e" when the GRUB menu appears and using
the arrows key to navigate to the "kernel$" entry. Entering a
second "e" will allow one to append to the end of the line the
string " -B disable-pcieb=true".
To complete the boot, enter a carriage return followed by the
"b" character.
To make this change persistent, edit the file
/rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst and add the same string to the
appropriate "kernel$" entries.
6859248 manifest removal should automatically cause repository cleanup
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6859248
When updating from builds 116 or 117, the system may fail to
boot and will enter into system maintenance mode.
Work-around: If the system ends up in this state, you can login
as the administrator and type
user at host$ pfexec svccfg delete network/fcoe_config
which will delete the offending service manifest and cause the
boot to proceed.
Alternatively after the "pkg image-update" or Package Manager
or Update Manager has completed the package update but *prior*
to rebooting, delete the obsolete service as follows
1. Note the name of the new boot environment (BE) that
was created (for example, opensolaris-#)
2. From the command line execute the following steps
user at host$ pfexec beadm mount <new BE name> /mnt
user at host$ pfexec svccfg
svc:> repository /mnt/etc/svc/repository.db
svc:> delete network/fcoe_config
svc:> end
user at host$ pfexec beadm unmount <new BE name>
3. At this point, the new BE can be booted into.
6867906 Kernel hangs during boot in startup_bios_disk with snv_120
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6867906
In builds 120 or 120, certain x86/x64 system may hang during
boot.
Work-around: Boot the system under the kernel debugger by
adding the arguments "-kd" to GRUB's "kernel$" entry and enter
the following steps
> dobiosdev/W 0
> :c
6868039 Panics on install of build Nevada 120 on sun4v systems
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6868039
When booting on a sun4v system, the system may panic with a
stack trace of the form
unix:die+74
unix:trap+9e8
unix:ktl0+64
unix:unmap_prom_mappings+118
unix:cif_init+b4
genunix:main+21c
Work-around: If the system's NVRAN has input-device=keyboard
and output-device=screen, change these both to
"virtual-console" which will allow an installation and
subsequent boot to successfully take place.
Alternatively boot the system under the kernel debugger and
enter the following steps. The first command prints out the
instruction expected at a particular kernel location
> cif_init+b4?ia
cif_init+0xb4: call -0x510 <unmap_prom_mappings>
Assuming this is the instruction in question, the running
system may be patched using the command
> cif_init+b4/W 1000000
> :c
ISO image information
=====================
ISO images for the Automated Installer[1], CD-R/CD-RW and USB are being
made available for this build via BitTorrent. Torrent files are
provided as follows
SPARC Automated Installer image, 277M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-121-ai-sparc.iso.torrent
x86/x64 Automated Installer image, 207M

MD5 checksums for these images
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/files/md5sums_121.txt
The ISO images are also available for HTTP download from
http://www.genunix.org/
USB images can be copied to a USB device using the "usbcopy" program
that is part of the SUNWdistro-const package or by downloading the
script[2].
Automated Installer
===================
The SPARC Automated Installer ISO for this development build is
expected to work on all sun4v-based platforms and on sun4u-based
platforms with an OBP level of 4.17 or greater. This capability can be
determined on an existing system by executing the command
# eeprom | grep network-boot-arguments
If the network-boot-arguments parameter is set or if the following
output is displayed
network-boot-arguments: data not available.
then the OBP can be used with the Automated Installer.
