RSH
Enable rsh in Solaris 10
# svcadm enable svc:/network/login:rlogin
# svcadm enable svc:/network/login:rlogin
Enable rsh in solaris 8
# vi /etc/inetd.conf
- uncomment
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rshd in.rshd
- restart inetd daemon
# pkill -HUP inetd
AUTOFS
- check the files /etc/auto_master and /etc/auto.dumps file
- once changes made, u need to do 'automount -v' to pickup the config files
- on the client share the filesystem
# share -F nfs -o ro /dumps
- edit /etc/dfs/dfstab
# share -F nfs -o ro /dumps
- restart nfs
# svcadm restart nfs/server
# dfshares or exportfs (to verify nfs shares)
NFS
- mount the dir
# mount -F nfs hkgfiler2:/remedy /opt/ar/directa
- edit /etc/vfstab to mount it upon boot up
hkgfiler2:/remedy - /opt/ar/directa nfs yes rw,soft
NTP
# svcadm disable ntp
# cp /etc/inet/ntp.client /etc/inet/ntp.conf (and type-in ntp servers)
e.g.
server hkgba00001
server hkgba00002
#ntpdate -d
#svcadm enable svc:/network/ntp
DU
Check for Top directory users
# du -sk /export/home/* | sort –nr
TAR
Un-tar tar.gz file IN SOLARIS
gunzip -c file_name.tar.gz |tar xvf –
or
# gzip -d snap_sol10.tar.gz
# tar xf snap_sol10.tar
Create tar file
tar cvf dir.tar
Create create .gz
#gzip dir.tar
HBA
Check HBA info:
# fcinfo hba-port
NIC
Check network interface
# cat /etc/path_to_inst
# grep bge path_to_inst
"/pci@1f,700000/network@2" 0 "bge"
"/pci@1f,700000/network@2,1" 1 "bge"
"/pci@1d,700000/network@2" 2 "bge"
"/pci@1d,700000/network@2,1" 3 "bge"
Change network interface to auto neg “on”
# vi /platform/sun4u/kernel/drv/bge.conf
Check for network collision
# netstat –i
EEPROM
Disable system check during reboot
# eeprom diag-switch? False
PKGADD
To add a package
# pkgadd –d .
REXEC
Disable rexec in Solaris 8
# vi /etc/inetd.conf
- comment out
exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rexecd
exec stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rexecd
- then restart inetd daemon
# pkill -HUP inetd
SWAP
- create local swap area - in kilobytes(k), blocks(b) or megabytes (m)
# mkfile 1024m /new_swap (create 1GB swap)
- activate the swap area
# swap –a /new_swap
- verify
# swap –l
LOCALE
- set system-wide locale
# vi /etc/TIMEZONE
- set user locale
# vi .profile
LVM (Logical Volume Management)
- install lvm software
- partition disks
# fdisk partition (e.g. /dev/sdb1)
- create physical volumes
# pvcreate /dev/sdb1
# pvcreate /dev/sdc1
# pvcreate /dev/sdd1
# pvscan
- create volume group and make it available
# vgcreate
# vgchange –a y
# vgdisplay
# lvcreate –-size 3493G –-name
# lvdisplay
# mount /dev/
- rename a logical volume group
# vgdisplay –v
# vgchange –a n /dev/
# vgrename /dev/
# vgchange –a y /dev/
# vgdisplay –v
# vgdisplay –v ext
- rename a logical volume
# lvdisplay /dev/ext/
# lvrename /dev/ext/
# lvdisplay /dev/ext/
- make a filesystem on the disk
# mkfs.xfs –f /dev/fhome/fanhome
# mount /dev/fhome/fanhome /home
# mount –t xfs /dev/ext/nfsdata /mnt
- add a new drive to a volume group
# vgdisplay –v (check active disks)
# fdisk to create partition
# umount /bak/backups (filesystem to extend)
# pvcreate /dev/sdf1 (prepare new partition)
# vgextend bak /dev/sdf1
# lvresize –-size 5.999T /dev/shome/home (increase size)
# mount /dev/bak/backups /bak/backups
# xfs_growfs /bak/backups
