Great - that would be a blast!

Happy reading,

Is that Xen-based?

Yes, it is.

Doug Hughes just showed me the same thing, and I'm pretty sure he's Xen too.

I wonder if I need to add BE items to the ISO.  I think instead of 
/kernel/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix, you Xen folks may need to boot 
/platform/i86{hvm,xpv}/kernel/amd64/unix instead.  Worst case is I have to 
build a distinct xpv or hvm ISO.  :-P

Like I said, today's going to be a reading day, but I'll add that to my work on 
build_iso.sh, as that's where it belongs.

Thanks,
Dan




I'm on libvirt/KVM/qemu
If it matters, it's an AMD processor (but I seriously doubt it)

Doug Hughes just showed me the same thing, and I'm pretty sure he's Xen too.

I wonder if I need to add BE items to the ISO.  I think instead of 
/kernel/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix, you Xen folks may need to boot 
/platform/i86{hvm,xpv}/kernel/amd64/unix instead.  Worst case is I have to 
build a distinct xpv or hvm ISO.  :-P

Like I said, today's going to be a reading day, but I'll add that to my work on 
build_iso.sh, as that's where it belongs.

Thanks,
Dan

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Change in uname behavior between r151014 and r151020?

Joyent has a process to upgrade pkgsrc, one of those steps is:

PKG_PATH=http://pkgsrc.joyent.com/packages/SmartOS/2016Q4/x86_64/All
pkg_add -U pkg_install pkgin

This failed with an error that I mistakenly took to mean that my
kernel was not 64-bit. After looking at uname, and then isainfo, I
realized that the error was due to the Joyent pkgsrc I have installed
being 32-bit and the upgrade I attempted to install being 64-bit.

This has nothing to do with how uname behaves, which triggered me to post.

Thanks for verifying that. I hadn't realized that has always been the
behavior, OmniOS generally "just works" so I had not run into this
oddity previously, and my incorrect assumption in the subject.

I was aware of this, thanks to the thorough documentation on how this
works to provide both versions, hence my confusion about uname.

Thanks for the response.

Re: [OmniOS-discuss] Improved, but still alpha, ISO installer

2.) Thanks to IRC user "thebug" for confirming this, but it now has
sufficient bugfixes (thanks esp. to Delphix for PR-ing an illumos 
fix into illumos-omnios) to detect and install vioblk devices, at
least in a SmartOS KVM guest.

This fix has not solved the problem with qemu. First disk is still 
mapped by the kernel to the last disk so /dev/dsk/1 and /dev/dsk/n is 
pointing to the same physical disk (n is the number of last disk).


Apart from this I also noticed that diskinfo only lists the last disk - 
perhaps as a consequence of the kernel is mapping /dev/dsk for first and 
last disk to the same physical disk.
