Hi Reg,
Thanks for the efforts. I did try the GUI installer but got the same
problem at initial boot. My issue does seem to be the USB controller.
It is looking like I'll have to do the slice technique for the rpool on
the data drives. They're a pair of 6tb wd reds so I won't loose a lot
:-) ...
Hi Till,
Many thanks for the detailed response.
My target is an enterprise Sandisk SSD on the end of a Sata/USB
controller. I think I can get it in the case. I've tried a few
combinations and have one that boots, so I'm fairly confident that this
is now down to tweeking; but I might have reached
Thanks Till!
Turns out I might not need a manifest file after all since apparently
that's done automatically when you install znapzend from the (pkgsrc) repo.
I'll see how true that is soon.

Have a look at smfgen [0] or manifold [1].
Extremely simple generation of SMF manifests.
There was also a web tool some time ago, but I can't find it ATM.

You might try looking at the Solaris 11.1 documentation. I downloaded all of it
to my iPad today, but have not read it yet.
I found the smf facility rather opaque when I started looking at the files in
/lib/svc.
Not a good answer, but it's all I know at present. Similarly, I want to do
Just wondering the above. There are no XML files I can use as an example in
/var/svc/manifest and the /usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1 file
is rather obtuse.
Literally all I want to do is ensure znapzend starts at boot. Nothing
fancy.
Any help would be appreciated.

While I don't have prior experience booting from flash drives, I agree with
Till's recommendation to try a USB hard drive.
Have you tried installing to a regular disk drive and booting from that? If you
can I recommend doing that and skipping the flash drive boot. The RAIDZ
bootloader seems
The install completed normally. On the first boot attempt I selected every
boot option *except* graphical console. It stalled part way with SCSI time
outs. I inadvertently dropped the power while messing with other stuff.
In the 2nd boot attempt I selected *all* the boot options in 2021.04.05.
Hi Michelle
I don't know how happy you are going to get with a QNAP Hardware as base
for OI. QNAP is very exotic Hardware. It may be USB what they are using
in princiapl, but unless you are sure the Controllers are actually the
Controllers they are saying they are and the Storage is not a SD
I've started an install of 2021.04.05 to a 32 GB flash drive on a Z400. I'll
see if that provides any information. I used the text installer from the GUI
desktop, so it will be slow.
My 8 port KVM switch died so most of my systems were down. The replacement, a 4
port dual monitor KVM switch
Good suggestions, but sadly didn't work.
Using option 2 single user also fails with the same errors.
I've also tried the USB interface in various booting modes,
unfortunately none of which work.
I took a look at the variables in the boot options, just for the sake
of it, and couldn't find
Try selecting the "reconfigure" option when you first boot the installed
image.
It is *supposed* to reconfigure, but I spent 50 hrs before I found out how to
get 2021.04.05 to boot after the install. I thought the issue was the
particular nVIDIA driver, but that was not the case.
I also got
OK, this is where things are going to get a bit awkward.
