I'm trying to run Omnios as a guest under Linux (libvirt+kvm). Omnios sees the virtio disk, but won't see the nic. No matter if I use e1000 or virtio for the nic. It seems Illumos should support both, but maybe it's another setting causing this problem? if, initially it wouldn't see the disk either with KVM set to emulate the Q35 chipset which I've fixed by using 440fx (both chipsets are quite old, but 440fx is really old and should be even supported

Anyone have an idea of why Omnios won't see the nic?

I've also looked through the docs, but I seem to only find documentation on running guests under Omnios

Ah-ha! I told virt-manager to use OpenIndiana as there was no Omnios option and that seems to have fixed it

no idea what it changed, still using the same chipset :D

I have Omni under bare metal, but when I tried Qemu to test something I had to use the -device igb NIC (probably Intel). My go-to e1000 did not work.

On my bare metal, it's a rge0 (RealTek).

in my Omnios vm I defined the nic as rtl8139

Hi. I have "SunOS omnios 5.11 omnios-r151054-f66c95f374 i86pc i386 i86pc" running on my NAS. I have just seen it uses OpenSSH 9.9p2, while it seems 10.0p2 supposed to be available. Have I missed some updates?

It seems one zone runs older packages: pastebin.com/raw/Up8rL3ke

Isn't it supposed to be linked with the GZ?

Or isn't "pkg update -r -v" supposed to bring all zones to the latest version?

Oh, I see, it is an ipkg branded zone. I usually use sparse zones, but this is meant for building packages and made according to the omnios-extra guide.
