Trying to update from svn_86 to 90. Goal: To get multiple LUN iSCSI partition to be recognized in an VMWare ESX Enterprise environment.
Problem: Was/Am previously using SVN_86 and ran the pkg image-update since I heard SVN_90 was out. I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the PKG_EXEC_TIMEOUT to their respected values and was able to finish the installation on one of my poweredge 850 servers. The pkg software reported that the new images is on opensolaris-1 and a reboot was necessary to start using the new version. Unfortunately, when I boot opensolaris-1 option the machine immediately reboots, thus I am unable to catch any error messages on console if any. Current hardware: Dell Poweredge 850 64bit 4GB ram SATA RAID with two SATA drives. 850s are in the HCL of Opensolaris. I am reinstalling OS 2008.05 and will try the image update again. I am reformating because I was unable to destroy the snapshots or the "opensolaris-x" legacy mounts successfully. However, two machines with exact identical hardware failed the upgrade at different locations. One didn't even finish the installlation and errored complaining that it couldn't mount the /tmp/tmpJCLxi multiple times. --I will submit error messages if I can see any, otherwise anyone encounter this similar issue. I know this is a little vague. I am working on gathering more information to assist in the troubleshooting process. This message posted from opensolaris.org
