Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] from the lost to the river
Hi, I still don't know what IPS really is Image Packaging System It's a software packaging scheme that was designed during the OpenSolaris days as a replacement for the old SysV packaging system. The big change is that it's based on a client/server model, where (at least in the first implementation) the server was a required part of the software upgrade mechanism. The old SysV packaging system had a disk format that delivered files, including scripts that ran at installation. IPS does not, and instead has a set of pre-determined actions that can be taken during upgrade or install of a file. The lack of scripting is an important improvement -- the old scripting mechanisms allowed software developers to deliver arbitrary horrors inside scripts, but the new system doesn't allow that. OpenSolaris (and OpenIndiana) still supports SysV packaging, but the main software, at least in the main line of code, is delivered via IPS. One big difference between IPS and the old SysV system: A SysV package is one huge file whereas packages delivered via IPS are split into lots of single files; simplified said: one file on your disk from a certain package ^= one file in IPS, cryptographically signed in the IPS manifest and stored in compressed form on the IPS server. If you download a newer version of a SysV package, MySQL for example, you normally have to suck the whole package, even when only a small part inside the package was changed. IPS on the other hand will download only the delta, i.e. those files that were changed. Additionally the IPS server doesn't really care about the architecture of your system; it can store files for different CPU architectures and operating systems in one single repository. GlassFish for example is using this technique (*).

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] dismissing zpool upgrade notice
Hi Jan, My two questions: A) How can I tell zpool that I don't want to upgrade? Will it just remain at version 28 until an administrator runs zpool upgrade? As long as you don't explicitly run zpool upgrade, the pool version stays the same. B) Is there a way to have zpool status -x only give output when the pool is actually exhibiting errors or is otherwise unavailable? (i.e. suppress the upgrade notice) Sorry, don't know...

I can also boot that other OS in a VM and share it over a networking protocol and can have better performance (and it is unsafe to access the partition directly when the guest OS is booted anyway). So, I wonder if it is possible to set up (automounter?) to mount the network share from the VM if available, alternately mount the partition over FUSE, into the same mountpoint on the host OS (OI). Thanks, //Jim Based on man automount, you are wanting a kind of replicated filesystem, but I don't see a way to specify more than one set of options for a given mountpoint. In that part of the options is the filesystem type, the most direct answer would be to try the following in your /etc/auto_master # key/location mount options filesystem /shared-vm -t nfs3 vm:/export/shared /shared-fuse -t fuse :/export/fuse If you can share the filesystem under the same protocol from both methods, then you can put it on one line (like a replicated filesystem according to the man page: # key/location mount options filesystem /shared-vm -t nfs3 vm:/export/shared :/export/fuse Hope that helps, Nathan ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Boris, Digging a bit further (I must admit, I've never installed our postgresql_84), this package installs its service manifest into /lib/svc/manifest/application/database/postgresql_84.xml The method this manifest calls is in: $ /lib/svc/method/postgres_84 You can start up either the 32bit or 64bit builds with a syntax like this: $ svcadm enable postgresql_84:default_32bit So it's really easy. That svc will even initialize the cluster for you - find your data in /var/postgres/8.4/data, or /var/postgres/8.4/data_64; pick your poison. Gotta love OpenIndiana.

That svc will even initialize the cluster for you - find your data in /var/postgres/8.4/data, or /var/postgres/8.4/data_64; pick your poison. Gotta love OpenIndiana. The SFE guys have built more recent versions; these are in the SFE repository. I've also gotta wake up and build latest versions for our userland. We're on v9.2.1 here.

Various formal installs will place manifests in the other paths according to the 'Great Wisdom' (to which a very few are party!) Others (many of whom will have 'The Knowledge') will weigh in... (!)

There's also stuff under /var/svc/manifest/ It is a bit confusing - how does one determine what goes where? Boris.

Custom service definitions often placed in /lib/svc/manifest/site , by convention. You'll need a corresponding method file to make it all hang together.
