3) If you are running build 93 or greater, you can use image-update directly as follows $ pfexec pkg image-update At this point, you can boot into the updated BE using reboot(1M) or init(1M) as usual. 4) If you are using a build prior to 93, it is required one apply tihe update directly to an alternate BE in order to work-around 2387 libbe.so:beCopy() frees nvlist variables before using them http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=2387 First, display the list of the existing BEs on the sysem snip I think many of us would appreciate that some of the fundamental rules in posting notices are being followed: WARNINGS BEFORE DIRECTIONS!

Sorry for the outburst. It was almost mid-night (Hawaii time) I thought I had to go thru the entire image-update process again. But, perhaps thanks to the ZFS, Step 4 (following the mistakenly applied Step 3) took only a few minutes. After the second image-update, I did beadm unamount and destroy of opensolaris-1. Because of video suspend problem, I'll probably go back to OS 08.05, however. But thanks for the workaround solutions. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
[indiana-discuss] question on ss-dev cluster
Hi all, In setting up a system to test something, I needed Sun Studio. I was aware of the ss-dev cluster, so I installed it. To my surprise, it has the sunstudioexpress not the sunstudio in it's list of dependencies. Then after installing, I tried adding the package sunstudio, finding it did nothing. Only after digging into the details did I see that sunstudio is a cluster itself, depending on sunstudioexpress. Is all of this intentional? Is this a placeholder waiting on redistribution of studio 12?

I have been leading a group of writers working on a companion to the Getting Started Guide. The idea is to document some useful procedures to help configure an OpenSolaris laptop after the OS is installed. Please take a look at a review draft of the OpenSolaris 2008.05 System Administration Guide (OSadminguide.pdf) at: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/files/ We have been working on this book for a couple of weeks, so we haven't had time to complete all sections or polish the content yet, but the current content should give you an idea of what we have decided to cover. In particular, the chapter about Useful Commands has not been worked on yet. Also, the links to docs.sun.com aren't working. I need to deliver this book for the Back To School Kit before August 8th, so please send me comments by COB on Wednesday 8/6. We will be developing this book further after the 8th for the 2008.11 release, so there will be more time for comments later. For now: 1) send any corrections to me or to the alias if discussion is needed 2) tell me about any procedures that we should add 3) please give me suggestions for a better book title Many thanks for your time and comments. -Kathy -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss

The note about root's shell reminds me we still need chsh, since it implies the only way to change root's shell is vi /etc/passwd.

Hi Kathy, Many portions of the pdf file are not displayed, showing only empty spaces. I am running build 94.

Re: [indiana-discuss] [docs-discuss] REVIEW System Admin. Guide for the Back to School Kit
Hi Glynn, Sorry to be a dolt, but what's the strategy behind using pfexec if the OpenSolaris installation goes through the trouble of setting up root as a role? I also noticed that the secondary user account that the OpenSolaris install creates also has root privileges as a role. So, why aren't we using the roles? In previous Solaris versions, we recommended setting up roles and using them, and not using pfexec manually. Since I'm late to this party, please feel free set me straight.

Re: [indiana-discuss] Booting from a USB HD
W. Wayne Liauh wrote: I installed OS 2008.05 onto a USB HD (WD Passport), and was able to boot from it (knock on wood!). However, when plugged into a different machine, I then am unable to boot from it. Is there any permission issue that I must address on this ZFS HD before I can boot from it? Could you provide a bit more information as to where it fails ? Does the new system discover it ? Do you see the grub menu ? -Sanjay Thanks a whole bunch for responding to my question. After trying it on another desktop machine (and failed), I was led to suspect that the problem may be caused by the system (computer) not delivering enough juice (electrical current) to the USB HD. This is one of the first generation portable USB HDs and it may need more current to operate than the later models. So, before going thru the whole process of re-installing OS 08.05 on a newer version of the WD Passport, I decided to give this old portable disc another try. After canceled my dinner appointment, I plugged this OS 08.05 installed USB HB into an IBM ThinkPad R61i. This time it worked beautifully. (The squeaking noise never sounded so pleasant. :-) ) I always believe that using a customized USB HD will be one of the best ways to effectively (and more convincingly) propagate OpenSolaris. More investigations are necessary, but, in short, the problem I experienced definitely has nothing to do with ZFS permission issues.
