So, what's a guy to do?
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/465416/solaris-wont-update-because-ddt-incorporation-is-using-a-self-signed-certifcate
It seems that I cannot fix my problems without a contract, so I'll
have to do a fresh install of 11.4. That's not really a big deal,
my base server setup is pretty simple and pretty well documented
and scripted at this point.
I appreciate that a lot of you guys are under NDA or similar
and I understanding opinion-ating about this gets complex, so any
insight you can offer would be useful.
I see the desktop package cluster still exists to make an easy
admin entry point when necessary, though it looks like the
graphical package/update manager is gone. And the developer
gcc cluster is still there too, though it seems to have a new
name. Given those I feel reasonably confident in my skills to
compile what I was getting from opencsw for all those years
(shout out - you guys rocked it!). Do I go ahead and install
11.4, or do I rebuild my zpools now to migrate to the openzfs
world?
Is oracle going to keep this door open? Is Solaris going to
continue to be available for download for non-com purposes
for free? Will enough patches be made public that I'll have
a reasonably safe system? Will there continue to be a desktop
cluster? Will a compiler/developer cluster continue to be so
easily available?
Should I be migrating away from Solaris and towards something
else supporting openZFS now, or later? In a couple of years all
my current hard drives will reach critical ages and I'll be looking
to rebuild my spinning rust collection. Might then be the best
opportunity to migrate from Solaris ZFS to OpenZFS? My next system
upgrade will probably be off this motherboard so migration to new
hardware might be easier than upgrading in place...I've got 2
mellonox 10gb cards and a short piece of cable to help...

You have to remake the zpools.
Possibly.
If the OP is still at zpool version 28, then any of the illumos
or any other OS with OpenZFS should be able to import.
sounds like I should be investigating OmniOS...
$ zpool get version rpool
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
rpool version 37 default
sounds like I should be investigating OmniOS...
