Jonathan,

   Thanks for the quick reply! I would like to update our SmartOS versions
to the latest and greatest, but my sys admin guy is a bit more cautious
because we only have 1 PXE bootstrap machine that we use to boot up our
SmartOS hosts, and he is afraid that if we upgrade it will affect the other
production machines running SmartOS - we haven't got to the point where we
have a dev environment for this yet.

 

   Can you or someone else advise what are the risks in upgrading to the
latest based on this scenario? Will there be any problem with the legacy
production machines that we can't quite afford to take down and reboot at
this time.

 

Rgds,

Gavin

This is caused by trying to run a 14.4.0 or newer image (in your case
15.1.0) on a version of SmartOS prior to 20141030. Since 14.4.0 we
started building packages on newer releases, and have added a
"min_platform" requirement to images:

  $ imgadm show 4166f6d6-ea5f-11e4-addd-8351b159d9b6 | json
requirements.min_platform
  {
    "7.0": "20141030T081701Z"
  }

Unfortunately on older releases of SmartOS there is no functionality
available to tell you that this won't work at creation time, it only
works in SDC. I believe this has since been implemented.

You'll either need to use 14.3.x or older images on your current
platform, or upgrade SmartOS to at least 20141030.

Cheers,
