After spending most of the day trying to get the OI 151a8 (LiveCD
Desktop) install to boot up with fixed IP addresses, I finally gave
up. The wiki is very outdated, and self-contradictory. So I googled,
and still nothing. And network-admin doesn't run without NWAM enabled.
(This system is a small home running DNS, Mediatomb, and storage
shares.and with NWAM, I have to log in to fire up the network
interfaces.) But it also acts occasionally as one of my desktops. So,
Is it also the router? Or do you have an access point as the
DHCP server? Can you assign a fixed IP address to the OI box's
MAC address on that?
The router has nothing to do with it, and setting up a server using DHCP
from a router is just wrong in my book. Besides which, I shouldn't have
to use this type of kludge.
since a fresh install of 151a8 Desktop cannot be made into a server, I
installed the server version.
Well, not technically true - the GUI version includes all the
packages (AFAIK) of the text-only version, they are just
preconfigured differently.
Probably ttue, but the static network configuration simply would not
work, despite everything the manual/wiki says.
if you are using static IP then what is problem to disable nwam, use
network:physical and configure IP without automagic?
Simple - it doesn't work. network-admin won't run, and all of the IP
configuration files disappear on reboot if I do it by hand.
Why would you need that? Open the shell, and
:; pfexec svcadm disable -s physical:nwam
:; pfexec svcadm enable -r physical:default
To repeat, this did *not* work.
Also, it is possible that setting static stuff not by old-school
files, but with "ipadm" *may* (I'm not sure) configure the statics
for both NWAM and the default setup. Quoting from my example for
a previously created VNIC, ipadm has to set up the interface as
managed by this mechanism, and assign an IPv4 address:
:; ipadm create-if vnic127001 && \
ipadm create-addr -T static -alocal=192.168.127.1 vnic127001/v4
ipadm constantly gave me the standard error of not being able to do it's
job on a temporary object (I tried e1000g0/v4 , e1000g0/v4static.etc.)
The server version, however, is text only (of course). No Gnome. So,
how can I add it?
Note that DNS seems a bit borked. I can
'ping 91.194.74.133
I can
'dig pkg.openindiana.org'
but I cannot
'ping pkg.openindiana.org'
getting an "unknown host" error. (??) So 'pkg refresh --full' always
fails.
I suspect this will be the last time I install fresh, rather than
doing an upgrade. :-(
Your nsswitch config is missing dns for hosts and ipnods.
Rats. I thought I replaced nsswitch.conf with nsswitch.dns.Must have
missed this on my nth time around. Thanks.
It may have also been replaced by automagic if you haven't disabled it.
Perhaps.
And look out for ipfilter automagic, unless you replace it with "custom"
method for old-school config with /etc/ipf/* files.
Turned of ipfilter every time (typically not enabled anyway).
HTH,
