I had to swap out a NIC and now I can't configure the new one. ipadm won't let me delete the old config.

any hints?

delete-addr aggr_nas0/v4

then, hopefully, `delete-if aggr_nas0` should work

delete-aggr, presumably

so ... the address is the device name, not the IP address. I think I've tripped over this before. <sigh>

Addresses have names, yes, <if>/<label> and `v4` is just one of the conventions for the label

there are some restrictions but it does not have to be v4

yep, that solved it.

thanks,

when I hear "address" I think x.y.z.foo.

aggr_nas0 looks like a device to me.

anyway, that solved it. Thanks for the quick assist.

Hey there! I'm Teresa (she/her).

I've downloaded r151042 (current stable). I picked the "usb-dd" image. I've calculated the SHA256 checksum, they match. I made sure I'm writing to the correct drive. I even checked whether the write to the usb drive was successful with this handy script from Stackoverflow. Then I tried to boot into it. It gets past the bootloader, it prints the

copyright notice, "configuring devices", "applying initial boot settings", "scanning for media", and then it says "could not mount installation media". I waited, but it seems to hang there without anything else happening.

If you can, try writing the .iso file to the usb drive - that's a hybrid image that might work a bit better

other than that, trying different USB ports (and avoiding USB 3 ones) can sometimes help.

ISTR never getting the usb-dd image to work. The .iso was fine.

Oh, wow, it was indeed a 3.0 port (didn't even notice), plugged it into a 2.0 one and it works now. Thanks!

Do y'all know why this happens? It doesn't matter for practical reasons, I'm merely curious.

Heh, "uname -a" says "SunOS", that's really cute, I love it. :)

@andyf congrats (linkedin snitched) :-)

GitHub also snitched but I didn't say anything because I wasn't sure it was suppose to be public yet

but congrats

oh? do tell?

Does OmniOS have Xorg? I couldn't find anything with "pkg search" or "pkg.omnios.org".

no, although I believe the bits from pkgsrc do work

if you want a desktop experience you're probably better of using openindiana

Awesome, thanks! I'm just poking around. I'm checking out esoteric operating systems for fun. :)

I'm not sure how I feel about an OS I'm using in production being called 'esoteric'.

Ah, sorry about that. Wasn't sure what the right word is. Any suggestions?

nah, it's ok.

:)

just feels strange to think about.

Oh, yeah, it's an interesting thought. One prominent example is FreeBSD on Playstation 4. Most people probably haven't even heard about Linux, much less FreeBSD.

but not on a PS4.

Oh, that's really cool!

the file servers for $job[0] are FBSD, as is my home server.

File servers for $job[1] and $job[2] are OmniOS.

Oh, you have at least free jobs? Also, why both operating systems, why not just one or the other? It's perfectly valid and cool, just curious.

*three jobs

OmniOS was already in use when I started at $job[2].

It's reliable and stable and since it's just file service it was easier not to have to retrain people.

I work at a .edu and am grant funded. My time is split between so many grants I don't even bother to keep track.

but I support three distinct organizations so I separate things that way.

I see, interesting. I'll go to bed, have a good one!
