-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That's straight 134; NOT 134a or 134b.
Is <http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Upgrading+from+OpenSolaris> best-practices on this? (Including the comments, but it looks like that's largely ways to get there from 134b, and I'm lucky enough to not have gone to b, so it sounds easy; is it easy?) (And if that's NOT best-practices, why hasn't somebody updated it?) This is my home fileserver, with "all my files" on it, but actually only three mirrored pairs of data drives in one data pool, total under 2TB offered to clients (i.e. fairly small). Three sets of backups, two of which will be current when I try the upgrade, and I'm going to have a livecd for emergency purposes already ready. The 134 installation has Zfs root, so the new installation should be just another layer there, and it should be trivial to roll back if anything is wrong; I've played with that before, and that worked (on previous upgrades). The data disks are a separate pool from the system disks, so there shouldn't be any interaction. I know that, if the upgrade initially works, and I update the ZFS pool version, I lose the ability to roll back and access the data, so I won't do that for a while. Anything else I need to know? (I considered free NexentaStore, there's ample safety margin in the disk space limit; but that doesn't technically seem to allow my use, which sometimes includes files for contract work and photos that I sometimes sell, and backing up my wife's computer which she uses to write books, and so forth. Plus OpenIndiana should be almost just like what I'm used to. I vaguely considered trying FreeBSD, but again there's the question of what I'm used to, and this should be a simpler upgrade, plus I'm using in-kernel CIFS which I hear is "better" than Samba plus again is what I'm used to now.) - -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRs3ZlAAoJEMiD2Rrwy8ia7AYIAKIeok8N5ZnmxpmEJdQf0Vj9 Tit2aXM8Ma3u8KS7QqR/NcckT5hsXkQ4hV6gyIR9UzUo8/pHJdL0LpJUKHT0Lnif aCcYF3v+xMQsB8lFD45WD9vDHoS+DXcJqEy73IH21UnO+zc9ZfxPoKXwdRE+pwpS IKXJF/rAvKJCw7WbZc2G9QlyE8D9SXPay3vaflU/lXihkCSZOYfaPAqaVjse35EX 0hWu47X+GrVSILBmRwJqlD0jTk/dwMvy5xeJVB6XJQJc5UjvoudXQ/D0FgEW6FYJ kA5qCR4T+5tj/jsOQEhC3YodTfthtcYegHHbTDRygfSFKP/vZbPMv3RseNfLsc4= =Gl4K -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
