The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_108 for both x86/x64 and
SPARC platforms. This update also includes fixes to the Caiman "Slim
Install" and the Image Packaging System (IPS).
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so by setting their preferred authority to the above URL and using the
"image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the
"Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed. Bug reports and requests for enhancement are welcome
through http://defect.opensolaris.org/
IMPORTANT NOTE: As changes have been integrated to support "variants"
within IPS[1], newly published packages in the development repository
will require the latest version of the pkg(1) command to install. In
general, users of the development repository should ensure the latest
version of IPS is installed by either using "image-update" facility or
manually installing SUNWipkg.
ISO images for the Automated Installer, CD-R/CD-RW and USB are being
made available for this build via BitTorrent. Torrent files are
provided as follows

More information on using the Automated Installer can be found here
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/AI_install_server_setup.html
The SPARC Automated Installer ISO for this development build is
expected to work on all sun4v-based platforms and on sun4u-based
platforms with an OBP level of 4.17 or greater. This capability can be
determined on an existing system by executing the command
# eeprom | grep network-boot-arguments
If the network-boot-arguments parameter is set or if the following
output is displayed
network-boot-arguments: data not available.
then the OBP can be used with the Automated Installer.
USB images can be copied to a USB device using the "usbcopy" program
that is part of the SUNWdistro-const package or by downloading the
script

Known issues in this repository update
======================================
3562 pkg image-update doesn't update /lib/libc.so.1
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3562
After performing a "pkg image-update" and booting into the new
boot environment (BE), svc.configd(1M) fails to start with the
following error
ld.so.1: svc.configd: fatal: relocation error:
file /lib/libsecdb.so.1: symbol defopen_r:
referenced symbol not found
Work-around: Assuming "opensolaris-<N>" is the name of the boot
environment that is failing, instead boot into the previous BE
and correct the versions of the C library there by executing
the following set of commands
$ pfexec beadm mount opensolaris-<N> /mnt
$ pfexec rm /mnt/lib/libc.so.1
$ pfexec rm /mnt/lib/`isainfo -k`/libc.so.1
$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt fix SUNWcsl
$ pfexec beadm unmount opensolaris-<N>
At this point, the system can be rebooted into the new BE.
6043 beadm commands fail in b105 when zones are present.
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6043
Manipulation of boot environments through the beadm(1M) command
or the updating of images via pkg(1) and the Package Manager
fails when non-global zones are present.
Work-around: Before attempting any operation that manipulates a
boot environment, detach any non-global zones. When running
"pkg image-update", detach any non-global zones, run the pkg(1)
command, boot into the new image, clone the datasets for the
non-global zones and then for each zone execute
$ pfexec zoneadm -z <zone name> attach -u \
-d <clone dataset name>
This should allow you to keep the zones you have configured and
installed for both the old boot environment (BE) and the
updated one.
Note that cloning of the zones' dataset is only needed if you
wish to keep the original zone for booting back into the
original BE. If you do not wish to keep the zones' datasets
belonging to the original BE, skip the cloning step and provide
the existing zone dataset name for the -d option to zoneadm
attach.
6331 Build 106a Live CD sometimes boots only to console login
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6331
The Live CD boot process may terminate at the console login
prompt, not reaching the graphical desktop.
Work-around: Login as user "jack", password "jack" and then
issue the command
$ svcadm clear nwam
The boot process should continue and start the graphical
desktop.
6622 cannot login to system after default AI install in b107
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6622
After an installation done using the Automated Installer, the
user can neither login as the user "jack" nor su(1) to the
"root" user.
Work-around: Customize the Automated Installer manifest by
manually editing the "ai" property_group to set the "userpass"
and "rootpass" propvals. The "userpass" propval should have a
value set to "9Nd/cwBcNWFZg" and the "rootpass" propval should
have a value set to
"$5$VgppCOxA$ycFmYW4ObRRHhtsGEygDdexk5bugqgSiaSR9niNCouC".
Known issues for users running OpenSolaris as a VirtualBox guest
================================================================
The Xorg driver included with the VirtualBox Guest Additions is
incompatible with the 1.5.3 version of the Xorg server included in this
build. VirtualBox users should remove the VirtualBox guest additions
prior to updating to this build.
