omniti-labs / kayak Goto Github PK

I'm stashing this here because I'll soon have test h/w and will probably end up doing it myself. If someone else gets to it sooner, so much the better.

We should support installing to nvme devices. Since Kayak does not use libdiskmgmt, we don't need to wait for https://www.illumos.org/issues/6232 .

Hi all,

I think it is not very easy for new users coming to Omnios from various other distros to make the initial network configuration so I have written a small tool in Python to remedy this obstacle. The script is tested and runs on all Omnios as of r151014. I have tested on r151014 and r151022

The script is not ment to be the swiss army knife for configuring networks on Omnios so there is no support for vnic, vlan, and aggregates. It will only support configuring a single nic given the
user the option for dhcp and static setup. The user is also asked whether to configure dns in which case the user is asked for an IP.

Currently it will only handle ethernet but IPoIB is on my todo list. The script can be downloaded here: http://git.datanom.net/netconf.git/

AutoHostname is pretty neat, but I noticed it does not pad with 0 like SmartOS does.

Not sure this is by design or not. At the very least it is not consistent with the other stuff like cfg naming.

Noticed that during an r151014 Kayak install, svc:/system/utmp:default went into maintenance because the utmpd executable (/usr/lib/utmpd) was missing. SMF reported an exit status of 96 from the start method. The relevant code is here:

http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/cmd/utmpd/svc-utmpd#29

http://src.illumos.org/source/xref/illumos-gate/usr/src/cmd/svc/shell/smf_include.sh#240 shows that SMF_EXIT_ERR_CONFIG is indeed 96.

This wasn't fatal to the installed system (the install was already done) but it did stall Kayak and force a maintenance login.

It looks like we toss the utmp SMF manifest in build_image.sh though, so I'm not sure what the correct fix is. Maybe we just keep utmpd, or maybe we don't need utmp at all in the miniroot/breakfix environment?

It seems DNS is not working within kayak.
I had a quick look by setting NO_REBOOT but it seems even if you configure resolv.conf and nsswitch.conf it still doesn't work. I think libresolv is missing?
