The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_118 for both x86/x64 and
SPARC platforms. This update includes fixes to 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 UPDATE NOTE: When updating from builds 116 or 117, the system
may fail to boot, requesting system maintenance mode. This is a side
effect of
6859248 manifest removal should automatically cause repository cleanup
If the system ends up in this state, you can login as the administrator
and type
# svccfg delete network/fcoe_config
which will delete the offending service manifest and cause the boot to
proceed.
Alternatively after the "pkg image-update" or Package Manager or Update
Manager has completed the package update but prior to rebooting, delete
the obsolete service as follows
1. Note the name of the new boot environment (BE) that was
created (for example, opensolaris-#)
2. Using a Terminal window, execute the following commands
user at host$ pfexec beadm mount <new BE name> /mnt
user at host$ pfexec svccfg
svc:> repository /mnt/etc/svc/repository.db
svc:> delete network/fcoe_config
svc:> end
user at host$ pfexec beadm unmount <new BE name>
3. At this point, the new BE can be booted into.
IMPORTANT VIRTUALBOX NOTE: The VirtualBox guest additions in releases
prior to 3.0 Beta 1 are not compatible with builds 116 and beyond.
Users should remove the guest additions from their virtual machine or
upgrade to the latest 3.0 Beta version of VirtualBox and install the
corresponding version of the guest additions
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.0_BETA2/
Known issues in this repository update
======================================
6854482 Xorg 1.6 doesn't try vesa by default
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6854482
When the OpenSolaris Live CD is booted under VirtualBox, the
Xorg server is not started automatically.
Work-around: When the initial GRUB menu appears, select the
"OpenSolaris 2009.06 VESA driver" option.
9568 image-update produces driver removal of policy warnings
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9568
When updating to build 117 or beyond, warnings of the following
form may appear
driver (xxx) upgrade
(removal of policy'read_priv_set=net_rawaccess
write_priv_set=net_rawaccess) failed: minor node spec required.
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
10010 reconfigure transport timeouts
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10010
When installing packages, the installation may fail with error
messages of the form
1: Framework error: code: 28
reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds
with <some number> out of <some other number> bytes received
Work-around: Set the environment variable PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT to
15 minutes (900 seconds) or more, depending on the throughout
to the repository and the size of the files in the package in
question
user at host$ PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=900
user at host$ export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT
user at host$ pkg install <name of packages>
ISO image information
=====================
ISO images for the Automated Installer[1], CD-R/CD-RW and USB are being
made available for this build via BitTorrent. Torrent files are
provided as follows
SPARC Automated Installer image, 279M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-118-ai-sparc.iso.torrent
x86/x64 Automated Installer image, 171M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-118-ai-x86.iso.torrent
x86/x64 All Languages CD, LZMA compression, 735M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-118-x86.iso.torrent
(NOTE: If burned to media, image should be burned to a DVD-R/DVD-RW)
x86/x64 All Languages USB, LZMA compression, 882M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-118-x86.usb.torrent
MD5 checksums for these images
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/files/md5sums_118.txt
The ISO images are also available for HTTP download from
http://www.genunix.org/
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[2].
Automated Installer
===================
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Systems being used to support the Automated Installer
and which are updated to build 110 or later must recreate the
associated services[3].
