crossbow discuss - Oct 2007 - Crossbow iso DVD images

Hi, folks:

We have recently (Sept 24) uploaded crossbow DVD image at:

 	http://opensolaris.org/os/project/crossbow/snapshots
 		solaris_sparc_dvd.iso (SPARC)
 		solaris_x86_dvd.iso   (x86)

In addition to bug fixes since the last snapshot, we have also added the
observability components. readme.tar.gz (from the above location) contains
additional details, including readmes, draft man pages etc.

Also, included in these images is an early prototype[1] for building VNMs
(http://opensolaris.org/os/project/vnm).  During installation, please select
"Entire Distribution plus OEM support" as it includes a couple of
additional
packages required for VNM.

If you have questions etc. please let us know. Also, if you have any trouble
with the images themselves.

[1] The VNM prototype is in the form of a Webmin module - "Solaris Virtual
Network Machines".  The intent is to provide building blocks using the
features of Crossbow (vNICs, observability features etc.) along with existing
mechanisms like Solaris Containers etc. to create Virtual Network Machines
(http://opensolaris.org/os/project/vnm/vnm_admin).  The prototype has sample
configurations for building a basic VM and a simple router (RIP) VNM. We
would like to extend the tool/module to build/manage VNMs with different
functionalities like routers (quagga etc.), firewall etc. with the ability
to re-configure as needed.  VNM.README in readme.tar.gz contains further
information about the VNM bits. Please use vnm-discuss at opensolaris.org for
any VNM specific questions.

Hi,

Thanx for this information.
I definitely want to try this release.
I have 2 questions about the release, 
- on which build is the iso based?
- is it possible to do an liveupgrade? instead of a full installation? I am
currently running on snv_69.

Keep up the great work
grtz Leon

Build 61.

I think  you should be able to use the DVD image for luupgrade, but am not
sure about 69 -> 61, perhaps someone else who knows more about lu could
comment on this.
