I had one conversation with a user who upgraded from phase 0.5 to 1
(using onu) whose /etc/nwam/llp did not get upgraded. The bits were
post-IPS integration. The user was running OpenSolaris in a VirtualBox
and had a static IP configured in /etc/nwam/llp and also had NIS
configured. After upgrade, no User NCP was created. A User location was
created and selected on upgrade.
In my test with BFU on Nevada, /etc/nwam/llp was upgraded to the User
NCP. I'll try to find/build such IPS bits on Monday and test. However,
in the meantime, if anyone has such bits, please send me a pointer.
Any ideas for the cause of the problem?
Assuming you're speaking of the system/network package in the ON gate,
the issue is probably that no package previously claimed ownership of
/etc/nwam (which was a package bug).
As a result, when you did the upgrade, the package system salvaged
what was there (and moved it to lost+found; see below) since it was
unexpected.
If I'm right, you'll find the missing files in /var/pkg/lost+found/*
I'll check /var/pkg/lost+found/ on Monday when I'll create a repo and do
image-update.
If /etc/nwam/llp is a file intended to be edited by end users, then I
believe the package needs to declare it, and then set the preserve
attribute appropriately. However, perhaps someone else more of an
expert in this area on pkg-discuss can provide additional guidance.
/etc/nwam/llp was a user-editable file in phase 0.5 nwam (builds <
134). In Phase 1 nwam (builds >= 135), /etc/nwam/llp is just used once,
the very first reboot to upgrade that configuration to phase 1 (which is
created in /etc/nwam/*.conf files). These /etc/nwam/*.conf files are
not meant-to be edited by users (just like /etc/dladm/datalink.conf).
