[smartos-discuss] Scripting question Bash

I  am trying to figure out how to script some vmadm commands in a bash script. For a basic scenario, the bash script calls vmadm to create a VM and that works fine.  However, I am trying to capture the UUID of the newly created VM. I receive the following message on the screen: "Successfully

Re: [smartos-discuss] Scripting question Bash

In addition to looking it up, you can also set the "uuid" field in the payload. The VM will be created using that UUID instead of generating a new one. You can use the uuidgen program to generate a valid UUID inside your shell script. On Fri, Feb 2, 2018 at 10:46 AM, Jonathan Perkin

While this might be slightly off, these things can be handled in Ansible in a fairly elegant manner OOTB now. T. On 2018-02-03 00:16, Cody Mello wrote: > On Fri, Feb 2, 2018 at 11:43 AM, George Linn via smartos-discuss > wrote: >> The following does not work:

Building a new platform image using a fork of smartos-live that uncomments the option for unfiltered promisc seems to solve the problem. A bit of a complicated solution to the problem (I guess I am tying myself to a lifetime of smartos compilations) but it works and seems less of a hack than

Re: [smartos-discuss] Migrating to a new root pool

Quick update on this. I rebooted in to recovery mode and swapped the pools as suggested. The system now boots using the new ones pool but it fails to start the local file system service and all those that rely on it. The cause is some cruft in the /zones folder that prevents /zones mounting.
