For what it's worth chunter doesn't seem to want to install on 20160304T005100Z. I'm not saying it should, I know its a newer "untested" release, but since the question was asked I thought I'd add that.
[root@hv1 /opt]# sh chunter-latest This SmartOS release WAS NOT tested! Are you sure you want to go on? [yes|NO] yes Okay we go on, but it might not work!
