Dear all,
Many thanks to all that helped yesterday and tonight for restoring my server. Everything works fine now, but I have some unanswered questions. Maybe someone can shed some light on this. Since I ran into trouble after updating my USB drive with the latest SmartOS version some things are unclear at this moment. Updating SmartOS 1. What is the recommended update/upgrade strategy for SmartOS? 2. Where is the right wiki for updating the SmartOS USB or SmartOS OS? 3. I followed and used this https://github.com/calmh/smartos-platform-upgrade and it seemed to work ok. But is ok to use it? ZPool: 1. I created a log and cache on a SSD, but used partitions c2d0p2 and c2d0p4 instead of slices. This seems to have caused the biggest error for my Zpool 2. The SSD was still alive but Zpool could not find the partitions. The SSD is not attached to the RAID controller but (due to some physical mounting problems) connected to the onboard SATA controller. Can this have caused the error? SmartOS 1. The new SmartOS release I burned to USB was version 20160121T174331Z 2. During the "no install" procedure it asked for username and pass. The root/root was not correct. Thanks to someone on IRC I was guided to http://us-east.manta.joyent.com/Joyent_Dev/public/SmartOS/smartos.html#20160 121T174331Z 3. The password for root mentioned on this page was not working. The OS kept complaining about something and it looked to me that the OS was trying to verify the password to a central system. But since the network drivers were not loaded this failed of course. Is this normal or did I do something wrong? 4. My base version was 20151210T194528Z, and I could log in with root/root during the "noinstall". I didn't have to use the special password from the webpage? ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
