Thanks for all of the great work you and OmniTI are doing.  OmniOS is
Good Stuff(tm)!

One info item for those of you who upgraded right away (like me :-).
If you have IPS pkg servers running on your system, they will be in
maintenance mode after you reboot into your new 151014 BE.

You need to manually "refresh" and "clear" your server instances:

  # svcadm refresh svc:/application/pkg/server:<your instance>
  # svcadm clear svc:/application/pkg/server:<your instance>

This is because the name of the start method has changed in the
manifest (from "svc-pkg-depot" to "svc-pkg-server").

HTH, and happy Easter!
