Sorry, it took some time to reach office and experiment, hence the delayed reply. I tried it all the way, same line, export to environment, http_proxy/ https_proxy, nothing is working :( I need to find out about exact authentication method being used. May be that will offer some clue. > Also, I was able to download images from Joyent with the following > commands (I prefer this practice, it allows me to keep a copy of an > image, in case Joyent deletes an image, or when we have problems > connecting to the internet): > > * You will need to know the UUID of the image (use the command to find > that: "http_proxy=http://proxy.company.com:8000 imgadm avail" ) > * Then, use that UUID to download the manifest: > o wget --no-check-certificate -O $UUID.manifest > https://images.joyent.com/images/$UUID > * and then the actual image: > o wget --no-check-certificate -O $UUID.zfs > https://images.joyent.com/images/$UUID/file > o (note the /file at the end) > * You can use the command "sha1sum $UUID.zfs" to check the sha1 > checksum and compare it to the value found in the $UUID.manifest > file (grep sha1 $UUID.manifest) > o note: sha1sum is not part of the smartos distribution, I had to > find my own copy of it > * To install the image: > o imgadm install -m $UUID.manifest -f $UUID.zfs Thank you for the detailed steps. Thats a nice trick to have. I will try it a bit later, since direct downloads isn't a preferred path for now. Thanks again. -- Regards Shridhar ------------------------------------------- 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
