I've only met 3 cases when I get an instant kick out with SSH 1) when there is no SSH service running 2) when there are too many SSH connections to the server 3) when there are no/invalid credentials on the server. I'd assume that in this case it's probably the latter. You could try

In my experience, one USB stick usually works OK. Multiple USB sticks all accessed together, and you usually find the transport to all of them goes up and down like a yoyo, as though something was getting the threading of the connections across USB screwed up. (This is a shame because I'd love

I installed oi server to an old slow 4G usb thumb drive as a test, just to see if it's possible. It worked fine; it's just slow as hell. So I bought a pair of 32GB usb3 fast devices, and installed oi to one of them... But grub fails. It just boots up to a grub menu and stops there. So I

I'm not sure when things changed, but way back in the OpenSolaris days, I had the root drive in my laptop mirrored to an external USB drive. I never had problems back then. I would do a demonstration where I would remove the USB drive while the laptop was up and running, and then plug the USB

While our main fileserver was with older SXCE, we had no practical problems with the kernel CIFS server (smb/server). However since migrating to oi_151a8 (in an MS AD domain), and also on a home NAS with oi_151a8 (workgroup mode) I sometimes see the server requiring logins from CIFS users

I've lost track of developments regarding where things stand between OI and Illumos. I see many of the same posters in both lists... And from the posts, I'm getting the impression that if one updates beyond 151_a8, they would then be running Illumos. Can anyone clarify that matter?

Why not snapshot the current system and find out? For extra credit, create a new boot environment first. The update *should* do that, but might not. You can always delete the extra BE later. Unless you're subject to data charges from your ISP it doesn't cost anything.
