SmartOS Changelog

What's new in SmartOS 20110926

Nov 21, 2011
  • Persistent setup on boot: creates a zpool and datasets for /var, /etc/zones, /etc/ssh, /zones
  • /usr/sbin/create-machine : allows you to define & install a vm or zone via a json file, greatly simplifying use of the joyent brand
  • vmadm : simplified vm management utility allowing better control & interrogation of vms (documentation coming, but invoked without options will give usage)
  • networking persistence : define it once ( via the dataset setup ), next reboot it’s there
  • ssh host key persistence : no more errors from ssh
  • zone persistence
  • root’s password can now be changed from the default of ‘root’
