After OS setup, your need to configure your network either with DHCP (5.1) or manually (5.2).
5.1.1 Initial setup of the napp-it appliance with DHCP
- boot OmniOS and login as root (no password)
- list available network adapters with their linkname (ex e1000g0):
dladm show-link
- create an ip interface based on the linkname
ipadm create-if e1000g0
- enable DHCP (requires a DHCP server)
ipadm create-addr -T dhcp e1000g0/dhcp
- add nameserver
echo ‘nameserver 8.8.8.8‘ >> /etc/resolv.conf
- use DNS name resolution (copy over DNS template)
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
- install napp-it online (default/ free version)
wget -O - www.napp-it.org/nappit | perl
- reboot (or set current bootenvironment as default)
reboot
- set a root password (this password is valid for Unix shell logins and SMB connects)
passwd root
optional: check current network settings
ifconfig -a
optional: If something happens (typo error), delete interface and retry
ipadm delete-if e1000g0
optional for ESXi: pkg install open-vm-tools, pkg install vmxnet3s
export template with dhcp, without pass-through devices or cd isos
optional with newest OmniOS: svcadm disable sendmail and sendmail-client
