The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes up to and including snv_127 for
both x86/x64 and SPARC platforms. This update includes fixes to the
Caiman "Slim Install" and the Image Packaging System (IPS).
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so by setting their preferred publisher 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: Before updating a system, please review this document
for all of the known issues that may affect the update.
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 issues in this repository update or in updating to it
===========================================================
11523 only permit FMRIs from same publisher for network repositories
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11523
When performing certain packaging operations, errors of the
following form may be displayed
pkg: The following pattern(s) did not match any
packages in the current catalog. Try relaxing the
pattern, refreshing and/or examining the catalogs:
or
The catalog retrieved for publisher '<some name>' only
contains package data for these publisher(s):
opensolaris.org. To resolve this issue, update this
publisher to use the correct repository origin, or add
one of the listed publishers using this publisher's
repository origin.
These both reflect that the name of publisher has been
incorrectly set to a value other than "opensolaris.org". When
using http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ as an origin URI, the
name of the publisher must be "opensolaris.org" and there
should be no other publishers with that name.
In addition, specifying a publisher for both the
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ and
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ origin URIs is an error as
only one of them should be in use at a time, using a publisher
of "opensolaris.org".
Work-around: If there is a publisher "publisher name" defined
for the http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/ origin URI, remove
this first
u...@host$ pfexec pkg unset-publisher <publisher name>
Then reset the publisher back to the correct value
u...@host$ pfexec pkg set-publisher \
-O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ opensolaris.org
10630 driver action gets confused by driver_aliases entries not covered by an
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10630
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update to
build 121 or later, messages of the following form may be
displayed
The 'pcieb' driver shares the alias 'pciexclass,060400'
with the 'pcie_pci' driver, but the system cannot
determine how the latter was delivered. Its entry on
line 2 in /etc/driver_aliases has been commented out.
If this driver is no longer needed, it may be removed
by booting into the 'opensolaris-2' boot environment
and invoking 'rem_drv pcie_pci' as well as removing
line 2 from /etc/driver_aliases or, before rebooting,
mounting the 'opensolaris-2' boot environment and
running 'rem_drv -b <mount point> pcie_pci' and
removing line 2 from <mount point>/etc/driver_aliases.
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
6877673 add_drv fails with a permissions entry with a minor name including a
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6877673
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update,
messages of the following form may be displayed
driver (clone) upgrade (removal of minor perm
'vnic 0666 root sys') failed with return code 252
command run was: /usr/sbin/update_drv -b /tmp/tmp65jZ-x -d

Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
9568 image-update produces driver removal of policy warnings
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9568
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update from
builds prior to 123, warnings of the following form may be
displayed during a packaging update
driver (ibd) upgrade (removal of
policy'read_priv_set=net_rawaccess write_priv_set=net_rawaccess)
failed: minor node spec required.
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
10778 image-update to snv_120 produces warnings about etc/sma/snmp/mibs
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10778
When using image-update or the Package Manager to update to
build 120 or later, a message of the following form may be
displayed
Warning - directory etc/sma/snmp/mibs not empty - contents
preserved in
/tmp/<path>/var/pkg/lost+found/etc/sma/snmp/mibs-<time stamp>
Work-around: This message can be ignored.
6893906 an invalid reboot_transient option gets added on the grub menu on
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6893906
After performing a reboot, an invalid entry is added to the
system GRUB menu titled "Solaris_reboot_transient" which causes
the boot to fail.
Work-around: Select the GRUB meny entry for the most recent
boot environment (BE) instead.
10010 reconfigure transport timeouts
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10010
When installing packages on or updating from builds 118 or 121,
the operation may fail with messages of the form
1: Framework error: code: 28
reason: Operation timed out after 30000 milliseconds
with <some number> out of <some other number> bytes received
Work-around: Set the environment variable PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT to
15 minutes (900 seconds) or more, depending on the throughput
to the repository and the size of the files in the package in
question
u...@host$ PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=900
u...@host$ export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT
u...@host$ pfexec pkg install <name of packages>
10807 beadm destroy fails in build 121
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=10807
When using build 121, an attempt to destroy a boot environment
(BE) using beadm(1M) will cause an error of the following form
to be displayed
Unable to destroy <name of BE>.
Alternatively when installing or uninstalling a package or
updating an image, an error of the following form may be
displayed
pkg: unable to destroy snapshot <YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS>
Work-around: To destroy the BE in question, if possible reboot
into a third boot environment and destroy the BE in question
from there.
In the case of a packaging operation, the stale ZFS snapshot
can be removed. To determine the name of the ZFS snapshot in
question, the following set of commands may be used
u...@host$ beadm list -Ha | grep <YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM:SS> | \
cut -d\; -f2
The snapshot in question can then be destroyed using
u...@host$ pfexec zfs destroy <full name of ZFS snapshot>
11221 beadm create core dumps on OpenSolaris 122 SPARC
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11221
When using builds 122 or 123, an attempt to create a new boot
environment (BE) via beadm(1M) or indirectly through "pkg
image-update" may result in a "segmentation fault".
Work-around: Boot into an earlier boot environment and then
manually create the desired BE from there. For example, to
image-update from build 122 or 123 the following set of
commands can be used
<reboot into the earlier BE>
u...@host$ pfexec beadm create -e <name of build 122 BE> \
<name of new BE>
u...@host$ pfexec beadm mount <name of new BE> /mnt
u...@host$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt image-update
u...@host$ pfexec beadm unmount <name of new BE>
u...@host$ pfexec beadm activate <name of new BE>
At this point, the new BE can be booted into.
11602 Failures seen after rebooting from a image-update from 2009.06 to snv_124
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11602
When booting the system the first time after updating to build
124, messages of the following form may be displayed
inetd[5503]: Failed to update state of instance
svc:/application/x11/xfs:default in repository: entity not found
Work-around: These messages can be ignored.
6820576 Kernel panic when booting Nevada and OpenSolaris
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6820576
When booting build 121 on a VMware guest instance, the system
may panic with the following function listed in the kernel
stack trace
pcplusmp`ioapic_read
Work-around: Boot with the "pcieb" driver disabled by editing
the GRUB "kernel$" entry. This can be done interactively by
typing the character "e" when the GRUB menu appears and using
the arrows key to navigate to the "kernel$" entry. Entering a
second "e" will allow one to append to the end of the line the
string " -B disable-pcieb=true".
To complete the boot, enter a carriage return followed by the
"b" character.
To make this change persistent, edit the file
/rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst and add the same string to the
appropriate "kernel$" entries.
6875223 'WARNING: emlxs: ddi_modopen drv/fct failed: err 2' when booting snv_122
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6875223
When booting the system, the following message may be displayed
on the console
WARNING: emlxs: ddi_modopen drv/fct failed: err 2
Work-around: This message can be ignored.
9973 api should gracefully handle updatelogexception
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=9973
When starting the Package Manager or performing other packaging
operations using pkg(1), a message of the following form may be
displayed
UpdateLogException: Package V pkg BRCMbnx
0.5.11,5.11-0.118:20090707T210528Z
is already in the catalog
Work-around: Execute the following command from the command
line
u...@host$ pfexec pkg refresh --full

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.
