[OmniOS-discuss] zoneadm install on clean install vs on r151008 with a bit of history

[Sean Doran]

I can install (and detach, and export) a nonglobal zone on a completely new fresh install of r151008j.

The detached zone attaches and boots fine on my r151008j (and -f) systems which have been running for a couple of months and which started at 151006 and were likely munged in dealing with the -6 to -8 upgrade.

A zoneadm install on these running systems results in:

I can’t figure out how to fix this, and would appreciate anyone’s advice, particularly to avoid future trouble.

	Sean.

P.S. that pkg supports $http_proxy is nice.  A http cache in front of several pkg installs says:

	Hits as % of all requests:	5min: 99.9%, 60min: 95.4%
        Hits as % of bytes sent:	5min: 100.0%, 60min: 89.8%

saving lots of time and on-the-wire traffic.   I did check that the cache is not a factor in the error.
