So poor, that for more than a few weeks I’ve been dropped from the uk.pool.ntp.org CNAME 🙁 The problem (after I fixed the missing ptys) manifest itself as a series of entries in /var/adm/messages with varying IP addresses but all of the form: https://minimal.org.uk/2009/06/15/opensolaris-zoneadm-attach-detach-problems/ Mon, 15 Jun 2009 21:16:02 +0000 https://minimal.org.uk/2009/06/15/opensolaris-zoneadm-attach-detach-problems/ After getting so excited about figuring out what was up with the upgrade to 2009.06 I ran into another, more sticky problem. I rushed into reattaching the zones I’d had to detach to get beadm working by using: zoneadm -z zonename attach -F Oh dear: that was a bad idea. The zone appeared to attach but zoneadm -z zonename boot failed and then I discovered it was impossible to delete, rename or reconfigure the zone. https://minimal.org.uk/2009/06/11/opensolaris-200811-to-200906-upgrade-fails-on-beadm/ Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:39:40 +0000 https://minimal.org.uk/2009/06/11/opensolaris-200811-to-200906-upgrade-fails-on-beadm/ New OpenSolaris release: Yay ! Updater fails on beadm create, and manual attempts also fail: Boo ! After a lot of grumblingGoogling down plenty of dead-ends it appears that beadm in 2008.11 gets very upset when there are Zones attached. A set of zoneadm detach commands later and the updater completed without any problems at all.
