You can make your own OpenSolaris publisher and install a second machine from there: $ pkgsend -s file:///work/repo/ create-repository --set-property publisher.prefix=opensolaris.org $ pkgrecv -s http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ -d file:///work/repo/ "*" (It will take a lot of time...) $ pfexec /usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d /work/repo/ -p 10000 And install from that repo :) Hope it helps. > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Pablo Mendez Hernandez<pablo.men...@oracle.com> > To: prthap chandran<vvpc_1...@yahoo.com> > Cc: storage-discuss@opensolaris.org > Sent: Tue, 22 June, 2010 8:02:04 PM > Subject: Re: [storage-discuss] Need to install SUNWfcoe and SUNWfcoet > > Hi: > > On 06/22/10 03:20 PM, prthap chandran wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Thanks for the timely info.
