The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_111a for both x86/x64
and SPARC platforms. This update includes fixes to the Caiman "Slim
Install" and the Image Packaging System (IPS) as well as an update to
Eclipse (3.4.2).
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/
Known IPS issues in this repository update
==========================================
3644 directory/symlink ambiguity renders package uninstallable
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3644
When updating from a build 110 image in which the SUNWtltk
package has been installed, an error message along the
following lines may be seen
OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory:
'/tmp/tmpwpc7Zq/usr/X11/share/include'
Work-around: Retry the update using the following set of
commands
$ pfexec rm /usr/X11/share/include
$ pfexec pkg image-update
$ pfexec pkg fix SUNWxwplt
7836 Warnings printed about "emlxs" driver on "pkg image-update"
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7836
The following error message may be seen when updating to build
111 or later
driver (emlxs) upgrade
(removal of minor perm '* 0600 root sys'') failed with
return code 252
command run was:
/usr/sbin/update_drv -b /mnt -d -m * 0600 root sys' emlxs
command output was:
------------------------------------------------------------
No entry found for driver (emlxs) in file
(/mnt/etc/minor_perm).
------------------------------------------------------------
Work-around: This message is innocuous and may be safely
ignored.
Known Caiman issues in this repository update
=============================================
5780 ai_sparc_image.xml need official repos before release
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=5780
6525 Change AI default.xml back to pkg.opensolaris.org
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=6525
Starting with build 111, the default pkg(5) authority used by
the Automated Installer and present on installed clients is now
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release
As this repository still contains only OpenSolaris 2008.11 and
earlier packages, users should instead by using
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev
in their AI manifests and on their newly installed clients.
The former can be set by changing the "url" attribute of the
"pkg_repo_default_authority" property in the manifest while the
latter can be set using either the pkg(1) command or the
Package Manager.
Other known issues in this repository update
============================================
6811922 PCIE init err info failed BDF 0x0 on snv_109 (Ultra 20 M2)
Ultra 20 M2 systems may not boot after being upgraded or
installed with build 109.
Work-around: Upgrade the system's firmware to at least revision
1.52. Updated firmware can be obtained from
http://www.sun.com/desktop/workstation/ultra20/downloads.jsp
3408 X server does not start w/Guest Additions on OpenSolaris guest w/snv_107
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3408
The Xorg driver included with older VirtualBox Guest Additions
is incompatible with the 1.5.3 version of the Xorg server
included in this build.
Work-around: Upgrade to VirtualBox 2.2.0 followed by
uninstalling and reinstalling the VirtualBox guest additions.
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, 249MB
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-0906-111a-ai-sparc.iso.torrent
x86/x64 Automated Installer image, 159MB

x86/x64 All Languages USB, LZMA compression, 790MB
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-0906-111a-x86.usb.torrent
MD5 checksums for these images
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/files/md5sums_111a.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].
