[OpenIndiana-discuss] User management tools for OI_151a?

[Open Indiana]

One small remark regarding napp-it, when you have 1 Harddisk then it is most
certainly completely occupied by the OI installation. To use napp-it you
need to add at least one new (empty) harddisk so it can claim it for
ZFS/Zpool. You could use a free slice on the first harddisk but I wouldn't
recommend that.

I had the same problem with napp-it, that it couldn't show me any ZFS info
or ZFS creation menu's, but when I added new harddisks it works great.

At which menu do you get the websocket error? I would like to check it on my
newly installed napp-it installation and see what message I get with
firefox.

I tried napp-it, and I get several problems: Can you comment?
I will of course write to napp-it.org as well.
Two problems that seem to partly defeat it's usefulness for a small
installation are:
1.
There's a live monitoring facility, it seems, using websockets. It claims
there's no websocket support in my browser, Firefox 9.01.
I have enabled websockets in the config page, but napp-it still claims it
isn't there. I don't know, really, but I think websockets supposedly work in
firefox.

2.
"ZFS folders" gives no info, just headers. This supposedly displays info
from like zfs list -o .... I suppose?
Seems non-functional.

Even if these two won't work, it could still be useful for a very large
installation, due e g to the pool mgmt stuff, and creating folders and
stuff.
