Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] hipster conversion

[Timothy Coalson]

I had two 151a9 systems (with very little installed) which upgraded fairly
cleanly to a 2015 snapshot of hipster, following this page:

https://wiki.openindiana.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=30802657

Make backups, YMMV, etc.

If you haven't needed it by now, I wouldn't think you will.


I'm thinking I could delte 0-11 including `4-backup-1' without expecting
any bad repercussions. Is that about right?



Yes.


I do notice that 1 and 7 are quite a lot larger than the others (not
including the one designated `14 R') and wonder how that happens and if
it has baring on what to delete?



Depends on activity while that BE was running and the difference in 
package content between it and the prior one.  Larger ones will be 
expected to free up more space.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] hipster conversion

[Daniel Kjar]

I think I will try upgrading a snapshot of the VM I created of the 
actual server and see how that goes...  I don't think there will 
hardware problems on the server since it is a sun x2200m2.

The 151a boxes I have will be replaced in the next year, so that potential

hardware.

Either way you decide to go, remember to take plenty of backups before you
start.
