Bearing in mind that I've only dabbled with SaltStack so far and
haven't got anything like a working SaltStack system...
The default timeout in the salt 'master' file is 5 seconds. I've
had success by increasing that.
Thanks for your installation instructions. I couldn't get the latest
version of SaltStack installed into native zones going via the non-git
route; they were stuck at 2015.8.5 (Beryllium).
Having said that, I don't really want git as a prerequisite - it's
relatively huge by virtue of the dependencies it has.

Hi guys,
happy to see some other SaltStack + SmartOS users out there. Recently
salt became a bit more unstable for me and I was hoping to dig a bit
deeper and check whether the issue is on my side, my salt-master side
or in the compatibility of salt-minion and SmartOS zone. Here's the
deal:
1. I'm using 15.4.1 LTS on all of my zones.
2. Not long ago I decided to "bump up" my SaltStack minions to version
2016.3.1.
a) In order to achieve both points mentioned above, I had to use
some "creativity" when it comes to SaltStack installation.
b) I have a deploy script that I run after every
provisioning/reprovisioning of the zone which is also handling Salt
installation, like this:
# Installing Salt dependencies:
pkgin -y in zeromq py27-m2crypto py27-crypto py27-msgpack
py27-yaml py27-jinja2 py27-zmq py27-requests py27-pip py27-tornado
py27-six
# This one ought to be installed via pip for some reason I
can't recall now:
pip install futures
# The de facto installation:
curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o install_salt.sh
sudo sh install_salt.sh -A ${master_ip} -i
"${1:-${minion_name}}" -P git v2016.3.1
3. This is generally working fine -- while I'm running silly stuff
like test.version, test.ping or cmd.run <any_given_cmd> all is good.
But whenever I hit some more demanding stuff, like state.highstate
that's going through couple of formulas, I very often get information
in red saying: "didn't get response from the minion" (or something
along these lines).
My question is -- are you guys also experiencing such behavior? I have
some formulas that are supposed to run bash script in order to get
some stuff done on the zone, but they rarely succeed when triggered
through Salt. Sometimes they are succeeding, but I still get the same
"didn't get response from the minion" on the master.
Guess I will need to dig a bit deeper into debugging this, but I was
hoping that maybe some of you already experienced such behavior and
have some tips & tricks to share (like for example: "dude, don't
upgrade to anything above 2015.8.x on LTS zones...").
All the best
