New Omnios Stable!

Upgrade from 004 -> 006 here:

RPOOL Mirror

we need to fdisk the partition of the second drive with:

pfexec fdisk -B c13t1d1s0

Copy label from the original rpool member

pfexec prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c13t1d0s0 | pfexec fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c13t1d1s0

Attach mirror drive to the pool

zpool attach -f rpool c13t1d0s0 c13t1d1s0

Install grub on the second drive.

installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c13t1d1s0

omnios iscsi

iscsi target isn’t configured out of the box with omnios, you need to install the target:

root@omnios:~# pkg install pkg:/network/iscsi/target

then enable

root@omnios:~# svcadm enable stmf

omnios showmount: RPC: Program not registered

On a vanilla install of omnios, shutdown command fails due to the system being unable to execute showmount.

To resolve this issue you must enable NFS which also requires that you share a directory, below are the steps involved:

echo 'share -F nfs -o ro=test -d "test directory" /export/home' >> /etc/dfs/dfstab


svcadm enable network/nfs/server

to ensure this has worked correctly execute

showmount

this should not return any errors.. simply execute shutdown and you should be back on your way!
