Hopefully getting some Napp-It / OmniOS baremetal this week going to test a couple different SLOGs but def. need to have latest version for best support of NVME

Hi Gea,

Just downloaded 16.11f and the menus are displaying properly in chrome. Works fine in Firefox.
Happening to anyone else?

 

[sth]

I noticed 16.12dev is available today too. Is there a changelog @gea?

From omnios-discuss:

"Hello,

Updates have been published for the following versions of OmniOS:

r151014 (LTS)
r151018 (Previous Stable)
r151020 (Current Stable)
r151021 (Bloody)

These updates provide minor security updates in tmpfs and procfs, and also adds support for NICs using the Chelsio Terminator 5 10/40Gb ASIC in the cxgbe driver. As these are updates to the kernel, they do require a reboot in order for the new BE to become active.

Per the usual, the new packages may be applied using: 'pkg update'

On behalf of the OmniOS team and OmniTI, I wish you a happy New Year!
/dale"

Happy New Year

 

[sth]

Thanks for the update. Have you done any benchmarking of Intel vs Chelsio adapters? Im using a Intel x520 in my Napp-it server but have a Chelsio T520-CR unused from an old FreeNAS system.

 

[gea]

No, I am Intel only.

Are you able to give a short impression if the Chelsio is quite similar or different on SMB and iSCSI, example with a benchmark from Windows like AJA (gives sequential videoperformance, use 4k video and RGB), ChrystalDiskmark or similar.

 

[sth]

I'm shutting everything down for a move but will take a look when I get settled.

 

[dragonme]

if running ..18... how does one pull and install the r151020 update.... without dicking anything up!!! running napp-it 11f free

 

[gea]

An OmniOS update means usually

- dismount old OmniOS repository
- mount new OmniOS repository
- pkg update

from 151018 to 020 you need an additions switch from SunSSH to OpenSSH
Upgrade_to_r151020

I would (connect Putty as root and copy/paste commands via a mouse rightclick) update to 151020

pkg install --no-backup-be --reject pkg:/network/ssh --reject pkg:/network/ssh/ssh-key --reject pkg:/service/network/ssh --reject pkg:/service/network/ssh-common pkg:/network/openssh pkg:/network/openssh-server

pkg unset-publisher omnios
pkg set-publisher -P --set-property signature-policy=require-signatures -g package repository omnios

pkg update

for updates from an older OmniOS, update to 1510180 the to 020

Info from OmniTi (OmniOS)

If you are user of LTS (r151014) or Stable (r151020), please "pkg update" and be ready for a new BE and a reboot.

Included in this update are:

- bge fixes on HP Gen9 systems
- MSI-X for NVMe is disable on VMware (where MSI-X is a problem)
- mmap() now properly modifies a file's timestamps in ZFS.
- Default NFS server threads are now increased.
- i40e now uses multiple receive and transmit rings
- One mpt_sas panic bugfix

The install media has been updated too, as the bge fix will help HP Gen9 users. Install media pointers can be found here:

Installation


and for OmniOS bloody:

Because I'm experimenting with Kayak-for-ISO, I want to have fresh illumos-omnios bits (esp. Loader itself) on the public server. I've just pushed new packages (full build) out to the bloody repo. Update highlights include:

- AIO improvements in LX
- Some loader bugfixes
- blkdev fixes for devices with blksize > 512 bytes.
- illumos 7777 "Expose xdf minor nodes when in PV-HVM mode" fix from Delphix. We are taking this pre-integration because of its potential to help the new Kayak-based ISO installer.

I will not be cutting traditional install media, given I'm getting closer on the Kayak-for-ISO front. Existing users should "pkg update". New users should either install the old bits and upgrade, or take their chances on the WIP Kayak-for-ISO installer.

Watch this space for an updated Kayak-for-ISO, which will at least have a controlling-terminal fix in it (so you can do job control on shells, AND invoke format(1M) w/o it complaining about /dev/tty).

Happy updating!
