Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster 16.04

I always preferred to follow the instructions on:
https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/2.1+Post-installation which you just
perform after a standard install.

Hi Michael,

Alp said it actually:

This leads you to a very useful summary written by Jim Klimov and teaches you 
what is what.
And as stated there: 

"The information and procedures below can help if you are migrating your system 
to a new  rpool device, or perhaps if you are into writing new installation 
wizards."


I also bugged Dave Miner 5 to 8 years ago on caiman-discuss why they never 
thought about incorporating at least some few advanced extra options into the 
GUI.
They repeatedly and all over again told me I shall SHUT UP (and Sanjay Nadkarni 
that person - on Illumos-devel everybody saw which lies he now claims about me, 
only because I wasn't happy at all with IPS at the time [for valid reasons] and 
also complained about the same things as you in Caiman GUI, on 
caiman-disc...@opensolaris.org) and they wanted it in the slim (hence the name) 
way they did it.
Simply because to re-visualize all the permutations of available cmd line 
complexity into a GUI isn't possible anyway.
Nevertheless, this Sanjay Nadkarni heavily and for all times disappointed me 
with the trash he "contributed" to Illumos-devel last month without any reason, 
and I never saw him posting much to Illumos-Devel ever before, what a 
worthwhile "contribution".

Now, you are free to do that (to add the wanted functionality) as slim_install 
is open-src (until the point when they moved it into OS/Net in September 2012 
and hence closed it).
If not, then follow your own suggestion and let Caiman hide that complexity 
from you, perform a default install and afterwards add mirrors.

I'm on your side, but just use the default and add mirrors later.
It's easy. And it's reliable.

%martin

Hi Alp,

While the article you provided would certainly provide greater control 
over the pool creation process, this all looks pretty complicated. How 
would OI be installed to such a pool?


Wouldn't it be easier to simply mirror the rpool after the installation 
has completed?

In hipster 16.04, can you specify a full two-disk mirror for root right
