Hello, I've tried following the instructions from the wiki:
<http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Upgrading+from+OpenSolaris>
The thing is I have a smallish (6GB) root FS, and ran out of
space midway through the first step (upgrading from OS2009.06
to snv_134).
Could someone help me
*) reclaim the disk space that got eaten by downloaded packages
(hos to purge these?)
Check in /var/pkg(/tmp), and note that clones or rather origin
snapshots of rootfs might reference these unpurged files forever.
*) perhaps perform the upgrade piecemeal (e.g by subsystem or
package groups instead of all at once)
Is OI supposed to run wherever OS did? Then my HW should be
supported and it might be simpler to install the latest OI ISO?
Maybe; AFAIK the latest ISO (oi_151a5) is not the latest release
(oi_151a6), but after you get it installed it should not be hard
to update the working OS.
You can boot the LiveCD/LiveUSB to check if your HW is still
supported - there may have been some drivers that were 3rd-party
and/or otherwise proprietary and not published by Sun, or that
became outdated and excluded from illumos-gate.
The main question is: how much of your old OS do you need to
retain and migrate? If nothing, then a fresh install should be
better (although likely to a bigger rpool, if possible).
