Mike makes a good point. We have some severe problems with build 63. I've been hoping to get an answer for what's going on with it, but so far, I don't have one. So, note to everyone: for zfs boot purposes, build 63 appears to be DOA. We'll get out information on that as soon as possible, an

Re: [zfs-discuss] Re: zfs boot image conversion kit is posted

The only big difference I see between what you did and what I did was I didn't have the cluster line. On reboot, mine said something like 'Solaris nv_b62' Is it possible there were any errors while it was installing? If it generates a log during install, maybe you can ftp it away before the reboo

I also downloaded the .iso file, burned it, and started the install process. I followed these instructions for creating the profile. [i]Here's a quick-and-dirty way to do a profile-driven install: 1. Boot your system off the net or from the DVD in the usual manner. 2. Select "Interactive Insta

I tried your kit, specifically the "Detailed Steps for the Install" Unfortunately, it didn't work. I copy / pasted the profile from the README file, then did pfinstall /tmp/profile. The error was: Error: Field 1 - Keyword "pool" is invalid. Perhaps I messed up? This error is what I would e

Hi Lori, Thanks to you and your team for posting the zfs boot image kit. I was able to jumpstart a VMWare virtual machine using a Nevada b62 image patched with your conversion kit and it went very smoothly. Here is the profile that I used: # Jumpstart profile for VMWare image w/ two emulated

I'm not sure I understand the question. Virtual machines are built by either running a virtualization technology in a host operating systems, such as running VMware Workstation in Linux, running Parallels in Mac OS X, Linux or Windows, etc. These are sometimes referred to as Type II VMMs, where t

Re: [zfs-discuss] Re: zfs boot image conversion kit is posted

I was hoping that someone more well-versed in virtual machines would respond to this so I wouldn't have to show my ignorance, but no such luck, so here goes: Is it even possible to build a virtual machine out of a zfs storage pool? Note that it isn't just zfs as a root file system we're trying o

[zfs-discuss] Re: zfs boot image conversion kit is posted

If the goal is to test ZFS as a root file system, could I suggest making a virtual machine of b62-on-zfs available for download? This would reduce duplicated effort and encourage new people to try it out. This message posted from opensolaris.org __
