====================================================================== *** OpenIndiana 134+ Stable X86, rev. 11 *** ======================================================================
Hello, This is OpenIndiana 134+ Stable build, the build based on Nexenta NCP3 patchset, ON stability fixes, bunch of storage related features and patches from OpenIndiana code base. The aim of this release is to aid needs of everybody who has been waiting for OpenSolaris 2010.X and has been left with you-can't-use-it-in-production Solaris Express 11, especially those who plans to use OpenSolaris as storage server. This release includes the following new features and fixes: - ZFS zpool version 28 including 'zfs diff' and ZFS read-only pools; - Bug fixes and new functionality for CIFS/SMB, COMSTAR/iSCSI and NFS; - Several IP, TCP and FC fixes; - Driver updates and fixes for mptsas, bge, e1000g, elxl and rge; - ON build script enhancements including automatic IPS repository creation (for developers). Release contents: - oi-134-11-x86-readme.txt - this file; - oi-134-11-x86.iso - Live CD; - oi-134-11-x86.usb - Live USB; - oi-134-11-x86-repo.tgz - gzipped ON repository. Download links are as follows: - http://narod.ru/disk/1494854001/oi-134-11-x86.iso.html - http://narod.ru/disk/1496206001/oi-134-11-x86.usb.html - http://narod.ru/disk/1500811001/oi-134-11-x86-repo.tgz.html - http://narod.ru/disk/1557156001/oi-134-11-x86-readme.txt.html - http://narod.ru/disk/1557439001/MD5SUMS.html - http://narod.ru/disk/1557441001/SHA256SUMS.html Alternatively, you can download them from RoyK @ #openindiana: - http://karlsbakk.net/OpenIndiana/134+/b11/oi-134-11-x86.iso - http://karlsbakk.net/OpenIndiana/134+/b11/oi-134-11-x86.usb - http://karlsbakk.net/OpenIndiana/134+/b11/oi-134-11-x86-repo.tgz - http://karlsbakk.net/OpenIndiana/134+/b11/oi-134-11-x86-readme.txt - http://karlsbakk.net/OpenIndiana/134+/b11/MD5SUMS - http://karlsbakk.net/OpenIndiana/134+/b11/SHA256SUMS There are two ways to get oi_134_11 installed on your system. You can either do clean installation using Live CD or Live USB above, or you can upgrade existing snv_134 system (snv_134b is NOT supported). If you wish to do latter or you want to install additional ON packages, like COMSTAR, you should use ON repository bundled with this release: - extract oi-134-11-x86-repo.tgz to your preferred location; - start repository: /usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d <repo location> -p <port> - add local publisher as openindiana.org: pfexec pkg set-publisher -P -O http://localhost:<port>/ \ openindiana.org - make opensolaris.org non-sticky: pfexec pkg set-publisher --non-sticky opensolaris.org - upgrade your snv_134 deployment using: pfexec pkg image-update - (OR) install new ON packages. How to decide whether what you want to install is ON package or not? Easy. If you're using oi_134_11, you haven't done what's described above and you get something like this when you try to install package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pkg://opensolaris.org/system/zones/brand/s...@0.5.11,5.11-0.134:2010030 2T070706Z: This version is excluded by installed incorporation pkg://o penindiana.org/consolidation/osnet/osnet-incorporat...@0.5.11,5.11-0.1 34.0.0.11:20101212T013950Z ---------------------------------------------------------------------- then you want to install ON package and you should use bundled repo. In future there's a chance that OpenIndiana 134+ Stable repository will be hosted on openindiana.org if there's sufficient demand, so stay tuned. Now, couple of words about updates. This release is intended to bring stability, and if any critical bugs will be found in it, I'd be happy to backport fixes once they're available and do additional release. Also, oi_134_11 is upgradeable to both Solaris 11 Express and fresh OpenIndiana builds, so installing this release doesn't lock you down either way. In order to upgrade to S11X you should first upgrade to OpenSolaris b134b and then follow regular Oracle upgrade instructions. For OpenIndiana upgrade instructions please visit OpenIndiana site, they are the same as for OpenSolaris b134. Release is largely based on Bryan Leaman's patchset, described on http://wiki.openindiana.org:8080/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4882475 (Google: OpenIndiana Stable Build 134, if that's expired), so most of the credits goes to him, really. Patchset used to build this release is downloadable from http://narod.ru/disk/1500897001/oi-134-11-patches.tgz.html Best regards, Alexander Sergeev <as.b...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
