How to Install & Configure Triton SmartOS + Review on VMware Workstation Easy Tutorial [2016][HD]

This video tutorial shows how to install, configure and review Triton SmartOS on VMware Workstation/Player step by step. It also helps for installing SmartOS on physical computer or bare-metal server. We'll also create and configure Pool and Zone. Finally we'll install Ubuntu 16.04 Server on SmartOS.

Steps:
1- Download Triton SmartOS ISO
2- Create Virtual Machine on VMware Workstation/Player
3- Start SmartOS Installation
4- Create Mirrored (RAID 1) ZFS Pool
5- Create Ubuntu 16.04 Virtual Machine in SmartOS
6- Install Ubuntu 16.04 VM in SmartOS

What is Triton SmartOS?
SmartOS is a free and open-source SVR4 hypervisor, based on the UNIX operating system that combines OpenSolaris technology with Linux's KVM virtualization. Its core kernel contributed to illumos project. It features several technologies: Crossbow, DTrace, KVM, ZFS, and Zones. SmartOS is designed to be particularly suitable for building clouds and generating appliances. SmartOS is an in-memory operating system and boots directly into random access memory. It supports various boot mechanisms such as booting off of USB thumbdrive, ISO Image, or over the network via PXE boot. One of the many benefits of employing this boot mechanism is that operating system upgrades are trivial, simply requiring a reboot off of a newer SmartOS image version.

Also you can install container native Ubuntu (using LX branded zones) and get better performance, data protection (ZFS), and observability (DTrace), by using a machine JSON like this:

{
"alias": "ubuntu16",
"image_uuid": "e331b22a-89d8-11e6-b891-936e4e1caa46",
"hostname": "ubuntu16",
"brand": "lx",
"resolvers": [ "8.8.8.8" ],
"quota": 20,
"max_physical_memory": 1024,
"max_swap": 2048,
],
"nics": [
{
"nic_tag": "admin",
"ip": "192.168.1.105",
"netmask": "255.255.255.0",
"gateway": "192.168.1.2"
}
],
"customer_metadata": {
"root_authorized_keys": "ssh-rsa ${your SSH public key goes here}",
"user-script": "\/usr\/sbin\/mdata-get root_authorized_keys > ~root\/.ssh\/authorized_keys ; \/usr\/sbin\/mdata-get root_authorized_keys >
}
}

How can you properly poweroff the machine with smartos? After issueing the halt command my system won't power down, only "halts". No ssh or consol any more.

Can you post the ubuntu script you used?
