[OpenIndiana-discuss] Text Installer creates rpool1
I tried the OI Build147 text installer for the first time, and ended up with rpool1 instead of the expected rpool. Is this normal ? The disks had an existing pool, but I selected use whole disk and overwrite. I have done this many times with OpenSolaris versions and never encountered it before. Overall the text install didn't help my problem, since it offeres no static network setup. The other headache was getting static ip's setup. The "old way" with hostname.intf etc. produced a interface to nowhere. This is what triggered the reinstall. The ipadm method did work, once I figured out what was needed. The storage box has 6xGb and 2x10Gb nics, so plenty to configure. One difference I found from dev-134 is it doesn't play well with an ip on the same subnet on two different interfaces. If one is down, the other can't pass packets either. Other than that, it has been stable and performing ok during testing with Intel SSD's for logs and 32x Seagate 2Tb SAS drives. I have Fault Management working nicely with net-snmp, and even an old bmc driver from the last SE released talking to the IPMI card. It didn't seem to work through to FM though. I need to get a build/development environment before I can follow that up. I will also have a poke around in SE2011 and see if it has any improvements in this area I can borrow. ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I have experienced this with OpenSolaris as well, the workaround would be to go into the shell before launching the installer, import the old 'rpool' and then destroy it. After that the installation will create a new 'rpool'. -- Venlig hilsen / Kind regards Jeppe Toustrup (aka.

I guess what happens is that OI boots up, sees the rpool name in use and chooses rpool1. > The other headache was getting static ip's setup. > The "old way" with hostname.intf etc. produced a interface to nowhere.

Out of curiosity, what controllers are you using? And what device naming are you getting? The old c0t0d0 or the newer c0tWWNd0? I get the latter on LSI 9211-8i controllers, and there, the device order fails to mirror the chassis order, with supermicro chassis (and even with direct attach).

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] livecd zpool import -fR /a xpool but no files
Calum, Is your procedure: zpool import -f -R /a rpool zfs set mountpoint=/b rpool/ROOT/openindiana zfs mount rpool/ROOT/openindiana cat /a/b/etc/passwd equivalent to the following that works for me from live USB stick (with pfexec or root) zpool import -f -R /a rpool beadm list Choose the installed BE name (which should appear in the list) and then beadm mount /a Then cat /a/a/etc/passwd behaves as you describe (i.e. I can see my username at the end of the file), whereas cat /etc/passwd gives "jack" as the Default user. Likewise I can see other folder/files in the installed filesystem from /a/a When done, beadm unmount Have I missed anything important ? When I reboot my installed OI seems fine. I had to do this for real once when I started with OI in October because of issues with my Nvidia graphics card and the Solaris Nvidia driver (buggy).

that sounds good, Guy, zpool import -f -R /a rpool beadm mount /a Yup, that seems like an easier to remember way to do the same thing, nice. thanks, calum.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] The static network that never works
I wonder why it appears to be so difficult under openindiana and its predecessors to simply and quickly setup a static network. Virtually all other OS's I've tried, probably 10-12 or so, have had provision to quickly and easily setup a static network and they worked straigh away. Installing from oi-b147... once installed the icon on right upper of gnome window display has dialog for setting up a static network... but when I follow it, I get a network that even says its connected... but it goes no where... can't ping anything even on home lan. Why can't I just simply ifconfig a network out of thin air as in linux (long as loopback is already done). ifconfig nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn up And have that device come up with that IP and work. I don't understand why it is difficult... But would also like to see in steps... a tried and true method to get a static IP. DHCP is just a pain in the butt in home lan. Is there really no simple and quick method... if so, why is that? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Good to know it can work... Walking thru it again I see I've forgotten about /etc/resolv.conf I guess I thougt the gui was taking care of it. But once /etc/resolv.conf is edited accordingly... that gui tool does work.

Yes, having just worked through this, we did edit the pam.conf file to make use of 'local' authentication.
