Big iron. The Origin 3200, 3400 and 3900 servers install and run IRIX
6.5.30, and any machine can now share a host folder with IRIX over NFS,
with no host NFS server or administrator rights.

$ hinv            # Origin 3900
16 700 MHZ IP35 Processors
CPU: MIPS R16000 Processor Chip Revision: 3.0
Main memory size: 8192 Mbytes
ROUTER in Module 001c07/Slot 0: Revision 1: Active Ports [2,3,4,5,] (enabled)
Integral SCSI controller 0: Version Fibre Channel QL2200, 33 MHz PCI
Integral Fast Ethernet: ef0, version 1, module 001c07, pci 4

Every machine's hinv is in the gallery.

  • New:
    • Presets origin3200 (8 CPUs), origin3400 (16 CPUs) and origin3900
      (16 R16000s). IRIX installs on the Origin 3200's Fibre Channel disk
      over its serial console, and the disk boots on the others.
    • origami share DIR NAME HOSTDIR serves a host folder to IRIX.
      Mount it with mount 10.98.0.4:/NAME /mnt/NAME.
    • --mode private with no install server running gives the guest its
      own network: 10.98.0.65 by DHCP, shares at 10.98.0.4.
    • network-set DIR --subnet 10.42.0.0/24 moves a machine's networks
      onto another private /24.
    • install-init --release 6.5.22 installs IRIX 6.5.22, with MIPSpro
      and RAD4.
  • Changed:
    • QEMU's user network is now 10.98.0.0/24, the same as the private
      network: host 10.98.0.2, DNS 10.98.0.3, guest 10.98.0.65. A
      machine that booted in user mode before may keep its old address
      once; run rm /var/adm/proclaim.lease_info* /etc/resolv.conf as root
      and restart it. Leave resolv.conf and IRIX's name service can start
      dead, failing every lookup until the next restart.
    • /irix.cmds installs every configured add-on, and
      install-apply --addon is gone.
    • Installs include the NFS client.
  • Fixed:
    • An installed system is named after its machine directory, not IRIS.
    • After network-set, IRIX takes the new network's address.
    • Remote installs retry transient download errors instead of stopping.
  • QEMU updated to cf2948f095. Instigator updated to 0.5.0.
