Solaris 11 – Technology Geek

In this article i will show how to share folder in Solaris and use this folder for Copy/Paste in windows , I will use NFS so you need to make sure it’s already enable in Windows

Select Control Panel.
Select Programs.
Select Programs and Features.
Select Turn Windows Features on or off.
Select Services for NFS.
Select the check box Client for NFS and click OK.

Now On Solaris Side , Using Share command

share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d “”] [resource]

Create Folder and use the below command to share

share -F nfs -o rw -d “codereview dirs” /u01/Shared –> my Shared Folder

root@Host:/u01# cat /etc/dfs/sharetab

/u01/hmmdb u01_hmmdb nfs sec=sys,rw codereview
/u01/Shared u01_Shared nfs sec=sys,rw

Now back to windows open Command Prompt “cmd”

and run the below command :

showmount -e Server-IP

Exports list on :
/u01/Shared All Machines
/u01/hmmdb All Machines

Command to share on windows :

mount -o mtype=hard Server-IP:Path_for_share_folder name drive letter or *

mount -o mtype=hard server-ip:/u01/Shared Z:

Done

Extend File system On Solaris Using ZFS Command

Posted on June 18, 2013December 23, 2018 by Osama Mustafa in Operating system

The below is demostration for extend File system On Solaris 11 :

root@TEST:~# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
oracle 107G 10.6G 1.11M /oracle
oracle/u01 105G 13.0G 105G /u01
rpool 32.2G 46.0G 39K /rpool
rpool/ROOT 5.40G 46.0G 31K legacy
rpool/ROOT/solaris 5.40G 46.0G 5.03G /
rpool/ROOT/solaris/var 318M 46.0G 314M /var
rpool/dump 1.03G 46.1G 1.00G –
rpool/export 854K 46.0G 32K /export
rpool/export/home 822K 46.0G 32K /export/home
rpool/export/home/omnix 790K 46.0G 790K /export/home/omnix
rpool/swap 25.8G 46.8G 25.0G –

root@TEST:~# zpool list

NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
oracle 140G 105G 34.9G 75% 1.00x ONLINE –
rpool 79.5G 31.4G 48.1G 39% 1.00x ONLINE –

root@TEST:~# zpool set autoexpand=on oracle

root@TEST:~# zpool list
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
oracle 140G 105G 34.9G 75% 1.00x ONLINE –
rpool 79.5G 31.4G 48.1G 39% 1.00x ONLINE –

now you have to do the below :

root@TEST:~# zfs get volsize,reservation oracle

NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE

oracle volsize – –
oracle reservation 107G local

root@TEST:~# zfs set reservation=140G oracle/u01

root@TEST:~# zfs get reservation oracle/u01

NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
oracle/u01 reservation 140 local

–> zfs set quota=140G oracle

Finally Check df -h and size are increased 🙂

Allow users Login Solaris 11

Posted on June 3, 2013December 23, 2018 by Osama Mustafa in Operating system

Solaris 11 is the most amazing Platform that you can deal with , Specially if you want to install any Oracle products. you don’t need to check anything before install.

By default root login on solaris disabled and you cannot login as root. ( which is amazing for security ) but sometimes you need to enable this login and to do that follow the below steps :

after login to privileged user can access on Solaris switch user to root.
vi etc/user_attr

#
# The system provided entries are stored in different files
# under “/etc/user_attr.d”. They should not be copied to this file.
#
# Only local changes should be stored in this file.
# This line should be kept in this file or it will be overwritten.
#
oracle::::type=normal;project=user.oracle;defaultpriv=basic,net_privaddr

type should be normal.

and to enable SSH for root user you have to do the following :

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin = yes

vi /etc/default/login
#CONSOLE =/dev/login|console

rolemod -K type=normal root

Thank you
