I have just installed version rPath Linux 2.3beta  r1377-1-1.  I am trying to 
update it to the latest build by doing a conary update openfiler.  I have even 
tried conary update conary, and tried to launch the update process from the web 
gui.
I get the following message from the command line:
Error occurred opening repository http://conary.rpath.com/conary/: Connection 
timed out
I can resolve the address so it is not a dns or connectivity issue.

Also I had a couple of weird things.  I installed the beta on an HP DL360G4p.  
It did not set grub up correctly and I had to manually change where grub was 
looking for the initrd image.

And I do not know how much people are using this in the enterprise but I am 
having issues hooking this up to and EMC Clariion CX700.  The only way I have 
been able to get it to work is to take all but one path away from each disk and 
present it out that way.  So if I have a path failure/Switch failure/or SP 
failure on my storage system and the lun has to roll I will not have access to 
it in the current setup.  Does Openfiler support MPIO or can I simply load 
EMC's linux pathing software on this? (have not tried the latter, powerpath 
usually only goes onto enterprise linux distributions.)

What I am really trying to do is use OpenFiler to front end a spare CX700 that 
I have to provide ISCSI/NFS to a farm of 5 VMware ESX host.  This is a legacy 
VM farm and I do not need it to perform all that well.  So I was trying to free 
up some SAN ports by moving this service over to Ethernet.  I do not wish to 
buy an EMC Celerra gateway product since just to license NFS/CIFS was almost 6 
figures and that did not include the data movers in the cabinet.  Is there 
anyone else out there that has done this hooked up to a Clariion?

Thanks and sorry for the long winded email.

I did this with the 2.3 x86_64 image I downloaded via bittorrent.

conary updateall reports:

no new troves found.

It looks like I'm running kernel 2.6.22.13-0.2.6.smp.gcc3.4.x86_64.

So how do I get an up to date system?
