Hi!

any way to upgrade an OpenIndiana install if the build in HD is short of
memory (missing 4GiB, available are 3,9 GiB)? Any option to 'pkg update' to
take it in chunks to fit in 3,9 GiB?

It is impossible to replace the HD by a bigger one. And it is impossible to have physical access to the system. Any idea or hint how it could be done
would be helpful!

First, look out for snapshots, an old one can eat a lot of space.
Second, just enable compression for the rpool (lz4), that will
affect newly written stuff and helps to just lift you over the
fence. It's also even a bit faster as less has to be drawn from the
platter, and CPUs are fast enough nowadays to easily cope with the
compression overhead.
