Public bug reported: The Joyent Metadata Protocol Specification (Version 2)[1] allows for serial or socket communication. The existing Joyent datasource uses the serial port provided in KVM instances, however LX-brand zones have a socket instead @ /native/.zonecontrol/metadata.sock.
Detecting we are in a Joyent LX-brand zone is possible by looking at '/bin/uname -v' which will report "BrandZ virtual linux" or checking for the existence of a /native mount where '/native/usr/bin/uname -s' reports SunOS. ** Affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Robert C Jennings (rcj) Status: In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1540965 Title: Support Joyent lx-brand environment in smartos datasource To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/1540965/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
