Thanks for the great job. I tested today the update from oi_151a9 to Hipster2015 to hipster. It was a long journey. The hardware is a Dell Precision T5400 (16GB of memory and 2 mirrored pools) It took me the whole day as I have very poor IO performance on that hardware.
Here is the process I followed for reference and for the doc project : 1 - Create a BE to start and boot to it : # beadm create -a Openindiana-HipUpdate-S1 # reboot 2 - remove all packages from external repositories (like SFE/SFE-encumbered but SFWpackages as well) : # pkginfo | grep SFW # pkgrm SFW[whatevername] # pkg uninstall --be-name Openindiana-HipUpdate-S2 `pkg list -v | egrep sfe | cut -d" " -f1` 3 - Reboot to new env Openindiana-HipUpdate-S2 4 - Remove external IPS publishers : # pkg unset-publisher sfe # pkg unset-publisher sfe-encumbered 5 - Change publisher to Hipster 2015 # pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-2015 -G http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev openindiana.org # pkg refresh --full # pkg update --be-name Openindiana-HipUpdate-S3 6 - Reboot to Hipster 2015 7 - Verify any leftovers # pkg list |grep '0\.151\.1\.' * must be empty * 7 - Install incorporations # pkg install --no-backup-be userland-incorporation entire 8 - Change publisher to Hipster # pkg set-publisher -g http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster -G http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-2015 openindiana.org 9 - Update to latest Hipster # pkg update --be-name OpenIndiana-Latest # reboot Now test extensively, reinstall missing applications, enable SFW for Hipster,.... Once you're sure and happy, clean up transitioning BE : # beadm destroy Openindiana-HipUpdate-S1 # beadm destroy Openindiana-HipUpdate-S2 # beadm destroy Openindiana-HipUpdate-S3 I noticed that VirtualBox (v5.0.16)went through the update seamlessly. Tomorrow I'll test update from 151a9 to /hipster directly Best regards Ben _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
