OmniOS weekly release r151002w contains text-installer fixes for
device detection under VMware and a fix for the Kayak network
installer package to ensure that the web service is imported on
install.  It also updates system/pciutils/pci.ids to the latest

hello

I will try to support OmniOS with my napp-it WebUI.
but ended with a lot of things not working or missing.

like
-  Perl module Expect.pm not working (essential)

minor problems like:
-  mc, bonnie, iperf missing
-  is vi(m) the only editor, it hate that tool, mc should be avaiable
-  compile smartmontools or netatalk


Maybee someone  has already found solutions for that
and is willing to share insights.

Hi Gea,
I have mc package for OmniOS on http://pkg.cs.umd.edu
Do "pkg set publisher -g http://pkg.cs.umd.edu cs.umd.edu" and "pkg
install file/mc".

hi,

I have read about your kayak unattended installation service.

My question is: I already have a pxe infrastructure in place (linux based).
Could I use it to bootstrap omnios instead?

TIA.

Theo,

Think we could get a rough write up? That would rock. I know you are super busy so if you send config files, I would love to do the howto.

I think it is as easy as doing this:

pkgrecv -s http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/release/ -d
http://yourserver:yourport/ 'pkg:/*'

If you are looking for something a bit more efficient than that, we
might be able to arrange for ZFS sends and incrementals.

Define exactly how inefficient pkgrecv is? I wouldn't mind doing this 
myself and don't mind a little inefficiency so long as it isn't too bad. :)

rsync pull access might be a good option as well.

The pkgrecv stuff is latency sensitive, so it can take a while.  It
network efficient, just not time efficient.

We already have ZFS snaps of all the releases, so making those
available is something we could look into.

Tried to boot the CD on a Sun X2250 (Intel Xeon E5405), panicked when
detecting devices at boot time.

No surprises there --- the grub boot command has kernel ..../amd64/unix

It's easy to search the CD and find another kernel, but it's 32 bit and
there does not appear to be a boot_archive module for it.

So ... is OmniOS supposed to boot on Xeon ?

I'm pretty sure the installer only works on 64bit machines. While I'm sure
it would be possible to get it to boot on 32bit, but we don't have any
systems that look like that here.

amd64 refers to the instruction set, not the CPU brand (64-bit x86 was
originally introduced by AMD and then copied by Intel, hence it is called
amd64).  The E5405 is 64-bit capable, and the X2250 is supported by
OpenSolaris and Solaris 10, so it should work without any issues (going
back to 32 bit is not the answer).

I would check -
1. 64-bit support being enabled in BIOS
2. Reset BIOS to default configuration
3. Remove any weird devices
4. Startup with verbose kernel option
5. Try booting with OpenSolaris / Solaris 10 to ensure it's not a separate
hardware issue (memory, etc.).

I have my system running on a Xeon E5-2603 with few problems (Solaris 11
does not boot on this machine due to unsupported chipset) and many others
also use Xeon processors with no issues.

The computer runs Solaris 10 so I'm sure it is 64 bit, and not faulty.
It'll have to wait for the weekend for suggestions 2, 3 and 4.  The
only wierd device is an Intel-chipset four-way PCI-express ethernet
card.
