Acknowledgements
I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks to my well wisher, evergreen admiring personality Mr. T. Gurubalan, Sun Microsystems Inc, who influenced, crafted, guided, cooked me to taste Sun. Words cannot convey my gratitude, you can have no idea how much it means to me. Its stunning. Special Thanks to My Trainees, who fueled me to explore more heights technically. Aravindh - induced me to script this valuable document. Raja kindle, always inspiring me to go little far on extra miles in all aspects.
Sources are always precious and unavailable, additional thanks to Santosh Reddy on his consistent work of collecting the resource, with great fuss.
Last but not the least, I would thank all persons behind lights from the bottom of my heart, but for you all my heart has no bottom. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

Directory Structure / = root / = It's the home directory of the root user. /bin = binaries. Both root user and non-root user executable comands resides here. It's symbolic link or soft link to /usr/bin. Hence the informations under /bin and /usr/bin remains same. /sbin = It has the root user accessible commands. These commands are available when /usr/bin is NOT mounted. It contains many system administrative commands and utilities. /usr = Unix System Resource /usr/bin = binaries. Executables that can be executed by both root user and non-root user. /usr/ccs = 'C' compling programs /usr/include = Header files for 'C' programs /usr/dt = CDE programs and files /usr/java = java programs and its libraries /usr/tmp = symbolic link to /var/tmp /usr/opt = Configuration information for optional packages /usr/sadm - system administration files and directories /dev - provides logical information about the devices connected to the system /dev/dsk = Is a block device. A block device is a device with a file system. /dev/rdsk = Is a raw disk. A device without the file system. NOTE: 1. The entries to the /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk remains same. 2. The entries is dependent on the hardware specification. /dev/sound - sound driver inforamation /dev/term - provides information on the serial ports /dev/pts - provides information on the pseudo terminals /dev/swap - information on default swap device /dev/md - Solaris Volume Manager meta device information /dev/rmt - raw magnetic tapes /devices - provides information about the physical devices. All the logical devices (/dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk) are linked with the physical device. /etc - holds the system configuration /etc/hosts - a file having the information about the host names and ip-addresses of the systems connected in the same network. /etc/motd - Message Of The Day The contents of this file will be dispalyed for every user at the time of login. /etc/issue - The contents of the this file will be displayed to all before login to the system. /etc/default - is a directory which holds the number of default parameters of the system
Page 15 of 145
/export/home - default location for creating a user's home directory it's shared directory. /home - used to mount the home directories's of remote server. /opt - is optional, is the location to install the 3rd party softwares. /mnt - is the optional directory to tempary mounts /var - its important for system adminstrators will have the logs of the system /proc - process directory. This directory stores current process related information. Every process has its own sub-directory in /proc. /tmp - this is a buffer, a temp directory /lost+found - will be empty and is created at the time of creating a file system. /system/contract - Used by SMF to track processes that compose a service. A file system used for creating, controlling & observing contracts, which are relationships between processes & syste resources. ( This directory can be seen in Sun Solaris 10) /lib - library modules /kernel - is independent of hardware. Core of the operating system. (genunix) will have the initial booting modules. /platform - is dependent on hardware and will be loaded followed by /kernel NOTE: SEEN ONLY AT X-86 HARDWARE: /boot - will provide the information about the boot loaders, will provide the provision to choose the operating system (if more than one operating system is installed). Links: 1. Links are of two types. 2. a. Hard link b. Soft link or symbolic link Hard link: 1. Both the source file and the destination file will have the same contents. 2. Any number of links can be created 3. Both the source file and the destination linked file will have the same inode numbers. 4. If the source file is removed or deleted unfortunately still the datas can be assessed from the destination. 5. When hard links are created, link counts will be increased. And if the hard links are removed or deleted, link count decreases automatically. 6. Permissionship on the source file will have the impact on the destination file permissionship. 7. # ln <source_file> <destination_file. Eg: # ln /4students/jai /new 8. The size of the files (both source and destination) remains same.
Page 16 of 145
Soft or Symbolic link: 1. Both the source file and the destination file will have the same contents. 2. But the inode number of the source file and destination file will be different. 3. The permissionship of the soft link destination will be differ from the source file. 4. Link count will not be increased nor decreased. 5. If the source file is deleted, contents cannot be seen from the destination file. 6. Size of the file will be equal to the number of the characters of the file name 7. # ln -s <source_file> <destination_file> Eg: # ln -s /4students/jai /soft NOTE: Only to the regaular files and directories its possible to store the datas. To the device files (character device and special character block device) it's not possible to store the data. - = to a regaular file d = to a directory l = to soft or symbolic link c = character special device b = block device # ls -l /dev/dsk Will display the default symbolic links created in that dir. # ls -l /devices will dispaly the default device files

DISK ADMINISTRATION NOTE: In the case of swap memory: If RAM < 2gb = Double the size of physical memory If RAM is between 2gb and 8gb = 75% of physical memory If RAM > 8gb = 50% of physical memory Naming conventions: 1. Logical Name 2. Physical Name 3. Instance Name Logical Name: ON SUN HARDWARE : SPARC - Sacalar Processor ARCH c#t#d#s# c = controller t = target d = disk s = slice # = number These logical names are linked to physical devices. For eg: c0t3d0s5 In SPARC, it's possible to create 7 slices per disk drive. 0 to 7, where slice-2 cannot be used nor created. ON X-86 HARDWARE: Targets will not be shown. Hence c#d#s# It's possible to create 7 slices. But will have 0 - 9 slice 8 and 9 = holds the boot loaders.
Physical Device Name: Physical device name is seen in /devices dir. Physical devices will be followed with the Instance name. Using physical name it's possible to understand the type of the disk drive connected. For eg IDE or SCSI. Note: 1. The devices performing input/output operations need device driver files. Eg: Hard disk, printer... 2. The devices not performing input/output operations do not need device driver files. Eg: Communication devices Hub, Router, Switch. Since these devices going to transmit only the datas and not any other operations, they do not need the device driver files.
Santosh Reddy

Instance Name: dad = direct access device (Only for IDE) sd = scsi disk drive Instance name are generated by the Kernel to each hardware. cmdk = common disk /etc/path_to_inst 1. This file has the information about the physical device name and their corresponding instance name. 2. This file will be with the permission r--r--r-- (444) 3. This file is NOT recommended to edit. # prtconf This command provides the following informations: 1. physical memory size 2. Arch of the system 3. Machine model 4. What are the devices connected to the system along with the driver # prtconf | grep -v not will display only the attached devices to the system. # format This is a utility which provides the following 1. How many hard disk drives are attached and recongnised by the OS. 2. Physical name and logical name of the disk 3. Volume name assigned to each disk To skip the utility: Ctrl+c # echo | format will also the above mentioned information # format command has two tires. format> where we can view only the disk drive infomation partition> to create, delete, modify the slices. format> help will provide the help, list out the commands that can be used in format tire. format> verify will list out the partition layout of the current disk drive selected.

FILE SYSTEM Mainly classified into 3 types 1. Disk Based file system 2. Pseudo file system 3. Distributed file system 1. Disk based file system: ufs = unix file system. Default file system for Sun Solaris NOTE: The default file system for Linux is ext2, ext3. hsfs = high sierra file system used by optical media. both cdrom and dvd Note: In the case of linux-iso9660 pcfs - personal computer file system which supports dos udfs - universal disk file system for re-writable optical media IN SOLARIS 10 zfs - zetta byte file system. 4 bit = 1 nibble 8 bit = 1 byte 1024 byte = 1 killo byte 1024 kb = 1 mega byte 1024 mb = 1 giga byte 1024 gb = 1 terra byte 1024 tb = 1 penta byte 1024 pb = 1 exa byste 1024 hb = zetta byte 256 quadrillion zetta bytes. Distributed file system: NFS - Network file system Used to access the shared resources.
Pseudo file system: Pseudo means false. swapfs - swap file system tmpfs = temp file system, used by /tmp directory procfs = process file system, used by /proc directory mntfs = mount file system fdfs = file descriptor file system, used by the devices
VTOC = Volume Table Of contents Resides at Track 0, Sector 0 Occupies 512 bytes

Boot block (bootblk): It's similar to bsl (boot strap loader) Resides between Track 0, sector 1 to Track 0, sector 15 In X-86 it's said to be as GRUB (Grand Unified Boot Loader) Will be active only at the root disk Primary super block: Resides between Track 0 , sector 16 to Track 0, sector 31 It occupies 16 sectrors Providies the information about the data blocks, inodes and more. Secondary backup block: It always starts and occupies Track 0, sector 32. Backup super blocks will be created at the time of file system creation At the time of file creation, number of backup super blocks will be created Cylinder group blocks: provides the information about the cylinder per groups free data block, size available, number of inodes and more. # newfs This command is used to create a new file system. When this command is invoked to create a new file system, it refers to the file /etc/default/fs OUTPUT: # cat /etc/default/fs LOCAL=ufs This file will have the above mentioned entry and hence only ufs file system will be created by default. # newfs command at the time of creation will provide the following information: 1. where the slice was mounted earlier, 2. geometry of the slice 3. secondary backup blocks OUTPUT: # newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t12d0s0 newfs: /dev/rdsk/c0t12d0s0 last mounted as /mnt/sone newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c0t12d0s0: (y/n)? y Warning: 5166 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated /dev/rdsk/c0t12d0s0: 1027026 sectors in 168 cylinders of 48 tracks, 128 sectors 501.5MB in 13 cyl groups (13 c/g, 39.00MB/g, 18624 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at: 32, 80032, 160032, 240032, 320032, 400032, 480032, 560032, 640032, 720032, 800032, 880032, 960032 # newfs -N /dev/dsk/c0t12d0s0 Will not create the file system, instead display the information about the geomerty of the disk slice and the super backup blocks, if file system is created. # newfs -T /dev/rdsk/c0t12d0s0 will create a file system that can support terrabyte.

PERFORMING MOUNTING AND UNMOUNTING OPERATION Mounting is the process of getting ready to access the newly created slices. Mounting can be done only if the slice is having the file system. To mount a device mount point is essential. By default only one device can be mounted at a single mount mount. # mount This command can be used only by the root user. This provides the information about what are the devices mounted along with its property. This will show both the permanent and temp mounted devices information along with the newtwork mounted informations.

While mounting the slice we can provide the following options: ro = read only rw = read & write (Default) nosuid = will not support the suid file scripts. By default it's supported intr = accepts the keyboard intrupts (Default) nointr = will not support largefiles = will support the file size more than 2gb (Default) nolargefile = will not support the files with more file size. xattr = extreme attributes, to provide compatability with unix flavors. on error = three actions can be performed panic = displays the message (Default) lock = will lock the slice from performing any actions unmount = will unmount the slice forcefully.

but, before reading this file entry, those slices will be mounted by running a script. Hence these above 3 were execetption. # mountall # umountall will mount all /unmoutall the slices which have the option mount at boot = yes
Note: 1. After making updations to the file /etc/vfstab we can make the slice available by a. # mountall b. # mount <mount_point> Eg: # mount /fiv
To umount the device: # umount <mount_point> or # umount <logical_device_name> Eg: # umount /mnt/slice0 # umount /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0
NOTE: Before unmounting make sure, we are away from the mount point. To know which user is using the mount point: # fuser -cu <mount_point> Eg: # fuser -cu /fiv will display which user is using the specified mount point. # fuser -ck <mount_point> Eg: # fuser -ck /fiv will kill all the process related with the specified mount point. Then it's possible to umount the slice normally. # umount -f <mount_point> # umount -f <logical_device_name> Eg: # umount -f /fiv # umount -f /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s5 will forcefull umount the device. where -f = forcefully
To mount the cdrom: Can be performed by 2 methods. 1. mounting the device manually 2. mounting the device using volume management.
Santosh Reddy
Page 33 of 145
To mount the device using volume management: # /etc/init.d/volmgt start - To start the service # /etc/init.d/volmgt stop - To stop the service NOTE: Once if the device (cdrom) is mounted using volume magement, its possible to eject the media, before unmounting. The above command will check the configuration file /etc/vold.conf /etc/vold.conf - Volume Management Configuration file which holds the actions to tbe performed. vold - is the daemon which will be running at the background while the volume management process is started. /etc/rmmount.conf - is the configuration file for the removable media.
NOTE: 1. Volume management (VOLD) features automatic detection of the CD-ROM. However, it does not detect the presence of diskette that has been inserted in the drive untill volcheck command is run, This command instructs the vold daemon to check the diskettte drive for any inserted media. Volme management can mount ufs, pcfs, hsfs & udfs file system. To determine the file system: # mount # cat /etc/default/fs # cat /etc/vfstab # cat /etc/dfs/dfstypes # fstyp /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s7 To mount the cdrom manually: First determine the logical name of the device: # iostat -En - will provide the information about the removable media where it is connected. For eg: to which controller, target. # iostat -en - will provide the above information, along with the hardware and software errors. # mount -F <file_system> -o <options> <device_name> <mount_point> Eg: # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c2t6d0s0 /mnt/cdrom This mount the cdrom manually. Only after umounting the device, it's possible to eject the media. To mount the network resource: # mount -F <file_system> <source-ip/host-name:/<shared-resource> <mount_point> Eg: # mount -F nfs 192.168.0.100:/source /current

Patch Administration In earlier versions of Solaris OE the format of the patch is .tar But the newer releases from Solaris 8 the format of the patch is .zip NOTE: Before installing a patch, it's recommended to check whether patch going to be installed is a right patch to fix the problem. It's recommended to have a backup of the installed OS. Since the patch is going to directly interact with the kernel (os), the above option is recommended. The patches informations will be stored to the location /var/sadm/patch
# showrev -p # pathchadd -p will display the information about the currenlty installed patches. Patches can be downloaded from the site sunsolve.sun.com It can be downloaded through http or by ftp as a anonymous user. Patches normally come with numbers 105050-01.zip A B A = is called as the base code B = is the revision number of the patch. To install a patch: 1. Unzip the downloaded patch. 2. # patchadd <patch_number> # patchadd 105050-01 NOTE: Before installing a patch, soon after unzipping the patch, A README file will be extracted. It's recommended to read that file. That file will provide the information about, which problem will be fixed by installing the patch, pre-requestie to install the patch. # patchadd -d <patch_number> # patchadd -d 105050-01 will NOT save the patch to the disk. Once the system is rebooted, the information will be vanished. # patchrm <patch_number> # patchrm 105050-01 To remove the installed patch. NOTE: # smpatch command can also be used to install the patch.

If data remains in the temporary buffer from a previous nvedit session, resume editing those previous contents. IF not, read the contents of NVRAMC into the temporary and begin editing it. NVRAMRC [nvedit] Editor Commands: Control-b = Moves backward one character. Escape b = Moves backward one word. Control-f = Moves forward one character. Escape f = Moves forward one word. Control-a = Moves backward to beginning of line. Control-e = Moves forward to the end of the line. Control-n = Moves to the next line of the script edit buffer. Control-p = Moves to the previous line of the script edit buffer. Return (Enter) = Inserts a new line at the cursor position and advances to the next line. Control-o = Inserts a new line at the cursor position and stays on the current line. Control-k = Erases from the cursor position to the end of the line, storing the erased characters in a save buffer. If at the end of the line joins t he next line to the current. Delete = Erases the previous character. Backspace = Erases the previous character. Control-h = Erases the previous character. Escape h = Erases from beginning of word to just before the cursor, storing erased characters in the save buffer. Control-w = Erases from beginning of word to just before the cursor, storing erased characters in a save buffer. Control-d = Erases the next character. Escape d = Erases from the cursor to the end of the word, storing the erased characters in a save buffer. Control-u = Erases the entire line, storing the erased characters in a save buffer. Control-y = Inserts the contents of the save buffer before the cursor. Control-q = Quotes the next character (allows you to insert control chars) Control-r = Retypes the line. Control-l = Displays the entire contents of the editing buffer. Control-c = Exits the script editor, returning to the OpenBoot command interpreter. The temporary buffer is preserved, but is not written back to the script. (Use nvstore to write it back.)

Setting Security Variables: Not recommended to do practice or implement. The NVRAM security variables control the set of operations users are allowed to perform from the OpenBoot PROM user interface and can be set with the following: OK setenv security-password password
Sets the PROM security password to what is specified in the password filed. This password must be between zero and eight characters [any characters after eight are ignored] and the passwords takes effect immediately no reset is required. Once set, if we enter an incorrect password there is a delay of around 10 seconds, before we are able to try again and the security-#badlogins counter is incremented. The password is never shown as we type it or with the printenv. OK printenv security-mode
Displays the current mode for the PROM security

Caution: We must set our security password before setting the security mode. [The password is blank by default, but if already set by someone, we wont know what it is and will not be able to disable it] If we forgot the security password, we may not be able to use our system and must call the vendor for a replacement of a PROM.
Ok printenv security-#badlogins Display the number of failed security password attempts
Ok setenv security-#badlogins number Reset the security-#badlogins counter. This counter keeps track of the nuber of failed security password attempts.

# eeprom - can be used by root user only. - can be used while the system is in the running state - is used to change the environmental variables of OK prompt while the system is in the running state. - this will have a impact once the system is restarted - will dispaly only the currently assinged values NOTE: where as, OK printenv - will display the currently assinged values and the default parameter that can be assinged.
If auto-boot? false at the OK prompt, then, whenever the system is rebooted, OK boot command has to be executed. whereas auto-boot? ture then the system boots from the default device automatically
NOTE: stop keys will function irrespective of the user account. i.e stop keys are independent. If the machine is at OK prompt, the machine is NOT running, so user account will have no impact. It's not recommended to use stop+A to move to Ok prompt, since it'll abort the process running. - To move to OK prompt, execute # init 0
Page 47 of 145
To disable the stop+A sequence: 1. Edit the file /etc/default/kbd Output (Only relevant lines are displayed): # Uncomment the following line to disable keyboard or serial device # abort sequences: KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable 2. # kbd -i - to initiate the changes done
To enable: 1. Edit the file /etc/default/kbd Output (Only relevant lines are displayed): # Uncomment the following line to disable keyboard or serial device # abort sequences: #KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable 2. # kbd -i to initate This is permanent. To enable or disable only for the current session: # kbd -a enable # kbd -a disable

Bootup phases: 1. Boot PROM phase: a. PROM runs POST (Power On Self Test). It checks whether all the devices recives the proper power supply. If not received messages will displayed at the console b. Identifies the first boot device or boot device c. Reads the bootblk from the secondary storage d. Loads the bootbld from the secondary storage to physical memory 2. Boot Program phase: a. Bootblk loads secondary boot program (ufsboot) b. Kernel identifies the hardware spec - 32 bit or 64 bit, X86/sparc and so on Has two part in it Unix - Independent of hardware Genunix - Dependent of hardware 3. Kernel Initialization phase: a.

The /etc/inittab file controls the configuration of init(1M); for more information refer to init(1M) and inittab(4). It is no longer necessary to edit inittab(4) directly; administrators should use the Solaris Service Management Facility (SMF) to define services instead. Refer to smf(5) and the System Administration Guide for more information on SMF.

BOOT LOADER - GRUB GRUB - GRand Unified Bootloader Grub is stored to the /boot directory. Seen only on the X86 arch machines. Provides the option to interact with the system to choose an operating system to work in case of more than one operating system is installed. Terminology: 1. Boot Loader: eg: Grub - solaris, linux (very popular boot loader) Lilo - Linux Loader Boot.ini - windows Always the boot loader will be residing at the starting location of the disk which is having the operating system. Note: GRUB can be compared with bootblk in Sparc arch. The boot loader is the first software program that runs after you turn on a system. This program begins the boot process. 2. Boot archive: A boot archive is a collection of critical files that is used to boot the solaris os. Two boot archives are maintained by the system a. Primary boot archive - Used to boot the Solaris OS on the system b. Solaris Fail Safe - Used for recovery when the primary boot archive is damaged. On X86 based systems, the miniroot is copied to the system to be used as failsafe boot archive. 3. Grub edit menu: Located under /boot/grub Name of the file = menu.lst Can be edited by the root user, and edtions will have the impact only on the next reboot. This menu.lst file (boot menu file) lists the operating systems taht are installed on a system. Note: 1. If we install an operating system other than the Solaris OS, we must modify/edit the /boot/menu.lst file manually to include the new installed OS instance. Adding this entry will provide the option on next reboot. 2. The default OS is usually the first entry that is displayed in the grub menu. Eg: Entry from the file /boot/grub/menu.lst

ON -> BIOS -> GRUB (Stage1 & stage2) -> OS kernel (Multi-boot,boot-archive-unix) -> sched (PID:0) -> init (PID:1) -> SMF (PID:7)-> Invokes the services. This is how the Grub boots. stage1 = installed on the first sector of the solaris fdisk partition stage2 = installed in a reserved area in the solaris fdisk partition. Is the core image of the GRUB. menu.lst = is typically located to /boot/grub directory. GRUB stage2 file reads the menu.lst file. How to boot the system to single usermode from grub: 1. Once the grub screen is displayed, use arrow keys to select, then press 'e' to edit accordingly. For instance 0 Solaris 10 11/06 s10x_u3wos_10 X86 1 Solaris failsafe if we choose 0, then pressed 'e' then, root (hd0,0,a) kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive now choose the second line and edit as, To boot the system in single user mode from the grub menu: kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -s now press, 'esc' followed by 'b' to boot the system in single user mode. Similarly, to boot the system in reconfiguration mode, edit as kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -r can be compared with sparc: OK boot -r
To boot the system with milestone options:
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -m milestone=single-user can be compared with sparc: OK boot -m milestone=single-user
To boot the system in verbose mode:
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -m verbose

To boot the system in interactive mode:
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -a can be compared with sparc: OK boot -a
Properties of Failsafe boot archive: 1. Is self sufficient 2. Can boot on its own 3. Is created by default during installation on the OS 4. Requires no maintenance Contents of the primary boot-archive/failsafe boot archive: 1. All of the kernel modules, driver.conf files, plus a few configuration files located to /etc directory. The kernel reads the file in the boot archive before the root / file system is mounted. After the root / file system is mounted, the kernel discards the boot archive form the memory.

SMF Service Management Facility
SMF - Service Management Facility an important feature of Sun Solaris 10 0S. Runs with the daemon: svc.startd with the process id-7
Features of SMF includes, 1.Provides service management via service configuration database [list of services and their various supported methods]. 2.Proves legacy rc script support [old programs will work]. 3.Facilitates service dependencies 4.Permits automatic restarts of failed and/or stopped service. 5.Provides service status information [0nline/offline, dependencies] 6.Causes each defined service to log individually to : /var/svc/log 7.Defines a Fault Management Resource Identifier [FMRI]. FMRI provide categories of services a.network b.milestone 8.Can load mutually exclusive services in parallel. 9.SMF support multiple instances of services.
SMF checks the services on the following category: 1. application 2. network 3. devices 4. system 5. platform 6. site 7. milestone Status of the SMF: Degraded: The service instance is enabled, but is running at a limited capacity Disabled -> Services are not enabled and not running Disabled: The service instance is not enabled and is not running. Legacy_run - > the services are not controlled by SMF Legacy_run: The legacy service is not managed by SMF, but can be observed. This state is only used by legacy services that are started with RC scripts Maintenance -> this state needs rootss interrogation. In this case the services has to be make available manually Maintenance: The service instances has encountered an error that must be resolved by the administrator
Page 59 of 145
Offline -> Services are enabled but not running Offline: The service instance is enabled; the service is not yet running or available to run. Online -> Services are enabled and its running Online: The service instance is enabled and has successfully started. Uninitialized: This state is the initial state for all services before their configuration has been read.

1.INETD is a super-server which proxies connection to servers. 2.INETD services are traditionally defined in /etc/inetd.conf 3.inetadm permits control of key/value or ns of services ame/value pair
/etc/svc - directory have the informations about the smf services and its repository database. /etc/svc/repository.db will have the data base about the services. It is used to check the integrity of the services. # inetconv - convert inetd.conf entries into smf service manifests, import them into SMF repository

The owneship will be changed to the parent directory and for the sub-directories and files inside the dir "dir1" -R = recurrsive
# chgrp admin dir1 Here the group has been changed to "admin" for the directory "dir1" The group is changed only to the parent directory
# chgrp -R admin dir1 will change the group to the parent directory and all its sub-directories and files. # chown hari:admin dir2 will change the ownership and group for the directory "dir2".

Advanced file permissionship: 1. SETUID - set user id - 4 2. SETGID - set group id - 2 3. STICKY BIT - 1 To give SUID,SGID, Sticky bit - 7 Setuid: 1. When the SUID is assigned to a file, all the users who are accessing the file become the owner of the file at that moment. 2. SUID will be effective for a script file. A good example for the SUID is # passwd command OUTPUT: # ls -l /usr/bin | grep passwd -r-sr-sr-x 1 root sys
22620 Jan 23
2005 passwd
# chmod 4644 one To assign the SUID to the file "onw" with the default permission SUID will have the impact on in the user's/owner's EXECUTIION area. s => indicates EXECUTION permission is ENABLED S => indicates EXECUTION pemission is DISABLED NOTE: This is applicable for SGID too.

SGID: 1. SGID will be effective for a directory 2. If SGID permission is assigned to a directory, then the files and sub-dir created under the parent dir (dir impletemented with SGID) will be inheriting the group of the parent directory. Assign the SGID for the dir two OUTPUT: # chmod 2644 two drwxr-sr-x 2 root

Sticky bit: 1. It'll be effective for a directory. 2. If a directory is with impletemented with sticky bit, every user in that system has the right to create a file/directory inside that dir (provided with permission), but only the owner of the file can delete the file. Note: This can be override by root user. OUTPUT: # chmod 1777 three drwxrwxrwt 2 root NOTE: Used to identify what are the files/dir that are having SGID permission.

USER & GROUP ADMINISTRATION The important files includes: /etc/passwd - holds the information about the user account or user properties /etc/shadow - holds the information about the user's password and password aging information /etc/group - holds the information about the group and it's properties /etc/skel - a directory from where the default user properties will be inherited. /etc/passwd thiyagu:x:517:1: :/export/home/thiyagu:/bin/sh A B C D E F G A - specifies the user's login name B - refer to the file /etc/shadow C - user's unique user id D - user's primary group id E - comment about the user F - user's home directory G - parent shell of the user defined by the root Commands: # useradd - to create the user account # userdel - to delete the user account # usermod - to modify the user account # groupadd - to create the group account # groupdel - to delete the group account # groupmod - to modify the group account
When the # useradd command is executed, the following 2 files will be updated. 1. /etc/passwd 2. /etc/shadow To create a simple user account: # useradd -d /export/home/che -m che This command will create the user named che with the home directory /export/home Output from the file /etc/passwd: che:x:522:1::/export/home/che:/bin/sh Output from the file /etc/shadow: che:*LK*::::::: Note: Whenever the user is created, that user account will be "locked" intially untill password to the user is defined.

To assign the password to the user: # passwd <user_name> # passwd che Output from the file /etc/shadow: che:o39wAwzjt0BjE:14449:::::: # useradd -m -d <home_dir_path> -u <uid> -g <gid> -c <comment> -s <shell> -G <GID> login_name
where -m = to create the home directory and provide the ownership of the dir to the newly created user account -d = to specify the home directory path -u = to specify the unique user id of the user -g = to specify the primary group id or group name to which the user belongs too -c = to specify the comment about the user -s = to specify the parent shell -G = to specify the secondary group id or group name to which the user belongs too login_name = user's login name Note: An user should be a member of 1 primary group and can be member of 15 secondary groups. eg: # useradd -u 5001 -d /export/home/us -s /bin/bash -m -g sun -c "basketball" -G 507,509,510 jordan here, the user account is created with the following properties login name = jordan user uid = 5001 home directory path = /export/home/us parenth shell = bash primary group = sun secondary group(s) = 507,509,510 (tech,linux,windows ref: /etc/group) comment = basketball To duplicate the user id to another user: # useradd -d /export/home/karl_marx -g sales -G windows,linux,sun -c "proxy" -m -s /bin/bash -u 0 -o karl here -o - is used to duplicate the user id to another user Note: 1. DO NOT duplicate the user id of root (0) to any other user, if it happens, then, security breech will happen. 2. We can also assign root priviledges to user through Authorization. Ref: RBAC-Topic
Page 73 of 145
# useradd -m -d /export/home/kobe -g windows -G sun,sales,linux -c "test" -s /bin/bash -k /etc/skel_basketball kobe -k - to specify the customized path of the skel dir
Note: .profile file under /etc/skel have a impact when the user login to the system. Hence some scripts can also be added to that. # useradd -D will provide the information about the default property and options of the users to be created. OUTPUT: # useradd -D group=other,1 project=default,3 basedir=/home skel=/etc/skel shell=/bin/sh inactive=0 expire= auths= profiles= roles= limitpriv= defaultpriv= lock_after_retries= # passwd -d <user_name> # passwd -d shiva will remove the password and assign "blank" password to the user OUTPUT: # grep shiva /etc/shadow shiva::14452:::::: # passwd -w <warning_days> -n <minmum_days> -x <maximum> <login_name> # passwd -w 40 -n 30 -x 60 shiva OUTPUT: shiva::14452:30:60:40::: # useradd -m -d /export/home/sithan -e 12312009 sithan here -e = to specify the expire date to the user account. Date will be specified with the mmddyyyy format OUTPUT: sithan:pmk2TEdOcjhXo:14452:40:50:30: :14609: A B C D E F G H where A = login name of the user account B = encypted password for the user C = no of days logged in. (Calculated from 1 jan 1970) D = password minimun age (not to change password until 40 days) E = password maximum age ( have to change the password after 50 days) F = a warning will be displayed to the user after 30 days to change password G = number of inactive days H = expire days

/etc/security/policy.conf this file is responsible for genereating the encrypted password to any user. This file will have number of cryptographic algorithm to be followed while generating a password to any user. eg: 1, 2a, md5 Output truncated: # crypt(3c) Algorithms Configuration # # CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_ALLOW specifies the algorithms that are allowed to # be used for new passwords. This is enforced only in crypt_gensalt(3c). # CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_ALLOW=1,2a,md5
/etc/defult/passwd will provide number of informations related to the password security policy 1. defines the length of the password 2. default minumum password age 3. default maximum password age 4. maintaining the history of the password 5. name check (login name cannnot be used as the password) 6. dict word ( dictionary word cannot be used a password) 7. alphpa numeric,special characters to password
Note: 1. Normally the password security policy is not enforced(commented). It can be enabled. 2. If the useraccounts are created through CLI, password security policy can be override. Output truncated: Contents to the file /etc/default/passwd MAXWEEKS= MINWEEKS= PASSLENGTH=6 #NAMECHECK=NO #HISTORY=0 #MINDIFF=3 #MINALPHA=2 #MINNONALPHA=1 #MINUPPER=0 #MINLOWER=0 #MAXREPEATS=0 #MINSPECIAL=0 #MINDIGIT=0 #WHITESPACE=YES #DICTIONLIST= #DICTIONDBDIR=/var/passwd

# passwd -l <login_name> # passwd -l tom will lock the user account Note: Eventhough the user has the password the account is locked. OUTPUT: tom:*LK*QK7lo.vinkpQs:14452:::::: # passwd -u <login_name> # passwd -u tom To unlock the user account OUTPUT: tom:QK7lo.vinkpQs:14452:::::: To delete the user account: # userdel <login_name> # userdel tom This command will only delete the user account and the dir,files created by the user and his/her home dir is NOT deleted. # userdel -r <login_name> # userdel -r tom Will delete the user account along with the user's home dir. ASSINGNING THE PASSWORD TO A GROUP Step:1 # groupadd solaris this command creates a group named `solaris`
Step 2.A : # useradd -m -d /export/home/shiva -g solaris -s /bin/bash shiva # passwd shiva these above commands creates the user account shiva belongs to the group solaris & assign the password to them. Step 2.B: # useradd -m -d /export/home/lingesh -s /bin/bash lingesh # passwd lingesh these commands creates & assings the password to the user account lingesh Step 3: As a root user or as any user create a file. Here lets create a file with the root user account # mkdir /new # cd /new # cat > one # ls -l this will display the default permission ship and the group the owner (here root) belongs to. # chmod 664 one This command will change the permission ship to file 'one'
Page 76 of 145
# chgrp Solaris one this command will change the group to 'Solaris' for the file 'one' Step 4: To assign the password to a group a. Copy the second field (encrypted password) of any user account from the file /etc/shadow b. Paste the same to the second field of the file /etc/group Step 5: To check a. Login as the user (shiva - who belongs to solaris group) and make the changes to the file. It'll change. b. Login as the other user (lingesh - who DOESNT belong to solarsi group) and try to make the changes to the file. We'll be prompted with "permission denied" To avoid this login to the solaris group c. # newgrp solaris this command will prompt for the password of the group Solaris and allows to take the group permission ship. NOTE: When the user is login to the group the shell changes. How to duplicate the user id to another newly creating user ? Step 1: For eg: # useradd -m -d /export/home/redhat -s /bin/bash -g admin -u 3000 redhat # passwd redhat this command will create the user account with the following login name: redhat home dir/base dir : /export/home/redhat user id : 3000 primary group : admin shell: bash # useradd -m -d /export/home/suse -s /bin/ksh -g solaris -u 3000 -o suse # passwd suse this command will create the user account with the following login name: suse home dir/base dir : /export/home/suse user id : 3000 NOTE: Duplicated using the option -o primary group: solaris shell: korn NOTE: DONOT duplicate the root id to any user, if happens it leads to security breech. MISC : 1. # /usr/ucb/vipw -> opens the /etc/passwd file in the text layout. works only in the init level 3 User friendly to edit the file 2. # pwck => checks the entry of the file /etc/passwd and if any errors it'll be displayed
Page 77 of 145
3. # grpck => checks the entry of the file /etc/group and if any errors it'll be displayed 4. # echo $? => provides the info status on the command executed if its 0 -> command is executed successfuly if other than 0 -> its shows error occurance To add multiple user's to multiple group: /etc/group file has to be edited /etc/group Example entry to the file unix:Hsba96iR2vYXI:116:root,bhutia A B C D where A - group name B - encypted password to the group Note: Password to the group can be copied from /etc/shadow file. No command is used to assign the password to the group. C - group id D - group members. Note: Only secondary group member names can be seen in the file
To modify the user login name: # usermod -l <new-name> <old-name> # usermod -l rose jack will change the login name jack to rose. Note: The file ownership will be changed accordingly but the home directory will be owned by the old owner. Which will restrict to create any files in the home dir, hence the permissionship & ownership has to be changed.
/usr/sadm/defadduser this file have the entries of the default parameters of the useradd command # useradd -D reads the entry fromt this file This file entries can be customized.

# netstat is used to monitor the network status 1. List connections of all protocol & address to and from the machine. Address families include: a. INET - ipv4 b. INET6 - ipv6 c. UNIX - Unix domain Sockets (Solaris/BSD/Linux/HP-UX/IBM-AIX/etc) Protocols include: TCP, IP, ICMP (which controls ping, echo), IGMP, RAWIP, UDP (DHCP, TFTP) 2. Lists routing table 3. Lists DHCP status for various interfaces 4. Lists net-to-media table. Network to MAC table # netstat usage: OUTPUT: # netstat TCP: IPv4 Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q State -------------------- -------------------- ----- ------ ----- ------ ------accel1.telnet intel.32961 49640 0 49640 0 ESTABLISHED Where 1 => hostname of the sender 2 => port/protocol 3 => hostname of the receiver / remote 4 => port/protocol of remote Note: 1. # cat /etc/services Displays the well known port number and their corresponding services 2. Hostname is displayed while using the # netstat command can be possible only of the /etc/hosts file is having the entry of the ip-address and corresponding hostname [resolve]. This file will be indirectly checked. When issuing the # netstat command it will read the file /etc/nsswith.conf and this file redirect to read the file /etc/hosts [provided the entry is made]. 4.Sockets are found only for TCP connections [connection oriented]. 5.Sockets are NOT found for UDP connections since they are connection less. 6.No need to remember all the ports, just grep from /etc/services. Eg: # grep syslog /etc/services
# netstat a a.Shows the state of all packets b.All routing table entries / all interfaces, both physical & logical c.Returns ALL protocols for ALL address families [TCP/UDP/UNIX].

Performing system security FTP IMPLEMENTATION: Wu ftpd => Washington University ftpd daemon 1. FTPD binds to TCP port 21 and is running by default. 2. SMF controls FTP service configuration. 3. # svcs a l ftp Displays the status of the ftp service. 4. # pkginfo l | grep ftp* Displays the detailed information about ftp service. 5. # pkginfo x | grep ftp* Displays package information a. ftpcount, ftpwho [displays the connected users & process information] b. ftpconfig utility is used to setup anonymous/guest ftp c. SUNWftpr includes 1. /etc/ftpd ftpaccess primary configuration file for wu-ftpd ftphost allow/deny access to users from hosts ftpservers allows root to define virtual hosts ftpusers users listed are NOT permitted(denied)to access the server via ftp ftpconversions facilitates tar, compress, gzip support Note: By default root user is denied to use ftp. wu ftp daemon supports 2 types of ftp connections 1. PORT Active ftp a. Client -> TCP:21 [Server-Control-Connection] b. Client executes ls -> results in server initiating a connection back to the client usually on TCP:20 [ftp-data] 2. PASU Passive ftp a. Client -> TCP:21 [Server-Control-Connection] b. Client executes ls -> results in server opening a high port and instructing the client to source (initiate) a connection to a server. c. Client sources data connection to high port on server.
# ftpcount Shows current number of users in each ftp server class -v Displays the user counts for ftp server classes defined in virtual host [ftpaccess] -V Display program copyright and version information then terminate OUTPUT: # ftpcount Service class realusers Service class guestusers Service class anonusers

PRINTER CONFIGURATION
# printmgr & => This above command opens a menu => Printer configuration can be menu driven NOTE: 1. Before configuring the printer make sure about the compatablity with the sun microsystems. 2. Check the make and the type 3. The port to which the printer is connected physically. Once the menu is opened, 1. Enable the "confirm actions" from the main menu 2. Select the newly attached printer a. give the printer name ( can be any name ) b. description can also be anything c. choose the correct port (here we have choosen /dev/pts/7 for our eg. In thiscase if we want to specify the port choose " other') d. select the type of the printer e. select -> the banner options if required or never print banner f. user access list -> by default every user is given the right to sent the request to the printer. If we want to restrict,add the specific users from the user list. g. apply the changes
# lp <file_name> eg: # lp check_printer will the print the file named "check_printer" to the default printer
# lpstat -d displays which is activated as the default printer if we have configured more than one printer # lpstat -p displays status of all the printers that are configured to the system # lpadmin -d <printer_name> eg: # lpadmin -d hp will activate "hp" as the default printer if we had configured more than one printer. # reject <printer_name> eg: # reject hp this command will reject the requests to the printer named "hp" ie.. hp printer will not accept the requests from any user including the root.

Backup & Restore 1. slice 4 and slice 5 with 1 gb each 2. Slice 6 and slice 7 with 2 gb each Now, we are going to mount slice 4 under /mnt/source. Lets add some data to the slice. Since we are discussing about OFFLINE backup, lets umount the slice4. Here let us consider slice6 as the backup media. It should be a COMPLETE backup since its our first time. # ufsdump <level_of_the_backup>uf <back_media> <slice_to_be_backedup> # ufsdump 0uf /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6 /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 Here 0 = level of the backup (Complete backup) u = to update the information about the backup on the file /etc/dumpdates f = to specify the device /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6 = backup media where the backed up informations are stored /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 = is the slice which is having the datas to be backed up
OUTPUT: # ufsdump 0uf /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6 /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Aug 04 23:08:33 2009 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/rdsk/c1d0s4 to /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6.

From this file we can understand, c1d0s3 had been completely (0) backed up on Aug 3 12:32 c1d0s3 had been incremental backup (1) on Aug 3 12:41 Now lets mount the slice4 once again at the same mount point.
Page 104 of 145
Do some updates to the created file and create some new file or directory at the mount point. Then unmount the slice4 Since we are going to discuss on incremental backup, specify the level of the backup whilst backuping. # ufsdump <level_of_the_backup>uf <backup_media> <device_to_be_backedup> # ufsdump 1uf /dev/rdsk/c1d0s7 /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 here 1 = specifies the level of backup (Incremental) Only the updated informations is backed up u = update the file /etc/dumpdates f = specifies the device /dev/rdsk/c1d0s7 = is the backup media /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 = the slice having the data
# ufsdump 0S /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 will display how much of space is required to take a complete backup. OUTPUT: # ufsdump 0S /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 8478720 # ufsdump 1S /dev/dsk/c1d0s4 will display how much of sapce is required for incremental level(1) backup.
How to restore the data? Note: 1. Backup media need not to be have the file system. 2. Only after resotring the COMPLETE backup, incremental backup can be done. 3. However selected files and directories can also be restored. 4. After restoring a file named "restoresysmtable" will be created at the restored point. It is not readale and not recommended to delete this file. This file will be used while restoring the incremental backup. 5. Restore can be done at any point. # ufsrestore rf <backuped_device> # ufsrestore rf /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6 where r = specifies recurssively. will restore all the files and directories that is backed up to the media /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6 f = specifies the device # ufsresotre -if /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6 i = interactive Can be possible to know what are the files and directories are backed up and can be listed out. Is possible to restore the selected files.
Page 105 of 145
# ufsrestore -if /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6 Now the prompt will be changed. ufsrestore> ufsrestore>ls will list out what are the files and directories that are backed up the media (/dev/rdsk/c1d0s6)
Online backup or Snapshot # fssnap -F <filesystem> -o bs=<any-dir> <mount_point> Snapshot or online backup is used to take a snapshot of the mounted slice. # fssnap -F ufs -o bs=/var/tmp /mnt/source here -F = specifies the filesystem -o = to specify the options bs = backing store. which will hold only the updates of the snapshot /var/tmp = backing store directory /mnt/source = mount point or the source to be snapshoted. This command will create a virtual snap device as follows /dev/fssnap/0 OUTPUT: # fssnap -F ufs -o bs=/var/tmp /backing_store /dev/fssnap/0 Note: This virtual device (/dev/fssnap/0) can be mounted as READ ONLY. Hence the virtual device can be mounted as read only # mount -o ro /dev/dsk/fssnap/0 /mnt/virtual Then to make a backup of the virtaul device, # ufsdump 0uf /dev/rdsk/c1d0s7 /dev/fssnap/0 here 0 = complete backup. level of the backup u = to update the file /etc/dumpdates f = to specify the device /dev/rdsk/c1d0s7 = backup media /dev/fssnap/0 = device to be backed up # fssanp -i will display the informations about the snap devices available in the system and their corresponding source.

OUTPUT: # fssnap -i 0 /backing_store # fssnap -i /dev/fssnap/0 0 /backing_store will provide the information about which mount point is backed up # fssnap -d <snap_device> # fssnap -d /dev/fssnap/0 To delete the specified snap device. Note: Restoring the data is as similar to normal offline backup. Taking a backup of a root slice: NOTE: 1. Enter into the system maintenance mode 2. Then check the destination size of the tape/disk 3. Proceed with the backup. # ufsdump 0uf /dev/rdsk/c1d0s6 /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 here, slice6 is taken as backup device which has nearly 4gb of space Restoring the root backup 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Boot from the cd DONOT mount the root slice (ie s0) Create the file system for the root slice Mount the root slice in /a dir Move to the /a dir restore the backedup information a. install the bootblk in the case of SPARC b. install the grub in the case of X86/X64 8. restart the system.

Swap configuration Swap is a virtual space added from hard disk drive to the physical memory to increse the system performance. In Solaris, swap space can be added either permantly or temp. At the same time, the swap space can be a file or a dedicated slice. By default the swap slice will be slice1. # swap -s Will display the summary of the swap space totally allocated, used and free. OUTPUT: # swap -s total: 263440k bytes allocated + 42452k reserved = 305892k used, 23162412k available # swap -l will display the information about the swap files, slices along the size in blocks. OUTPUT: # swap -l swapfile /dev/dsk/c1d0s1 /swap_file

# mkfile <size> <name_of_the_file> will create a file with the specified size. Note: Whenever a file is created with defined size using #mkfile command, the file will be with Sticky bit permission by default. Eg: # mkfile 200m /swap_file1 Will create a new file named 'swap_file' with size 200mb. OUTPUT: # mkfile 200m /swap_file # ls -lh / | grep swap_file -rw------T 1 root root To add the file to swap memory: # swap -a <file_name> Eg: # swap -a /swap_file1 To check:Output:

Crash/Core & Dump Administration
CRASH DUMP: OS generates a crash dump by writing some of the contents of the Physcial memory to a predetermined dump device, which must be a local disk slice. /var/crash/ùname -n`/vmcore.x where x = integer indentifying the dump /var/crash/ùname -n`/unix.x NOTE: Within the crash dump directory a file named bounds is created. The bounds file holds a number that is used as a suffix for the next dump to be saved. The configuration file for crash dump is /etc/dumpadm.conf 1. This file is not recommened to edit 2. This file provides the following information a. which slice is dedicated for dump By default swap slice (slice-1) is dedicated for this purpose. b. Provides the information about dumpadm or crash is enabled or disbaled. c. What contents has to be dumpded. By default Kernel contents will be dumpded. d. displays the save core directory. # dumpadm This command reads the file /etc/dumpadm.conf and the output will be displayed accordingly. Eg output is given for kind ref: OUTPUT: Dump content: kernel pages Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0d1s1 Savecore directory: /var/crash/server Savecore enabled: yes # dumpadm -d /dev/dsk/c0d1s5 Will change the default (/dev/dsk/c0d1s1) dumpdevice OUTPUT: Dump content: kernel pages Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0d1s5 (dedicated)
to
/dev/dsk/c0d1s5
Page 122 of 145
Savecore directory: /var/crash/server Savecore enabled: yes Here the dumpdevice is changed.
OUTPUT: # dumpadm -n will disable the save core. Dump content: kernel pages Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0d1s5 (dedicated) Savecore directory: /var/crash/server Savecore enabled: no Here save core is disabled.
OUTPUT: # dumpadm -y will enable the save core. Dump content: kernel pages Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0d1s5 (dedicated) Savecore directory: /var/crash/server Savecore enabled: yes Here save core is enabled. NOTE: 1. save core is by default enabled. Only if the save core is enabled dumpadm will dump the contents to the device specified. 2. # dumpadm command updates the file /etc/dumpadm.conf and hence the configuration remains permanent. # dumpadm -s /var/crash/Unix This command change the save core directory. OUTPUT: Dump content: kernel pages Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0d1s5 (dedicated) Savecore directory: /var/crash/Unix/ Savecore enabled: yes Here savecore directory is changed.
# dumpadm -c all This will ask the system to dump all the pages from the physical memory. The default dump contents is kernel pages. OUTPUT: Dump content: all pages Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0d1s5 (dedicated)
Page 123 of 145
Savecore directory: /var/crash/Unix/ Savecore enabled: yes Here the default dump content is changed to "all pages"
Coreadm: When a process terminates abnormally it typically produces a core file. A core file is a point-in-time copy of RAM allocated to a process. The copy is written to a more permanent medium - hard disk drive. A core file is also a disk copy of the address space of a process at a certain point-in-time. A core file will have the following information: a. task name b. task owner c. priority at the time of execution. 5. OS generated 2 possible copies of core file based on the configuration. a. GLOBAL CORE FILE: i. created mode is 600 ii. owned by super-user iii. non-priviledged users are not permitted to examine b. ORDINARY PER_PROCESS CORE FILE: i. created mode is 600 11. Owned by the owner of the process NOTE: If the directory defined in the global core file does not exist, it has to be created manually. The configuation file is /etc/coreadm.conf This file is not recommended to edit. But the updations to the file can be performed by using the command # coreadm # coreadm reads the entries of the file /etc/coreadm.conf and the configuration is displayed. coreadm pattterns: % m = machine name %n = system known name %p = process-id %t = decimal value %u = effective user %z = which process executes %g = effictive group id %f = execuitable file name -d = disable -e = enable # coreadm option argument 1. 2. 3. 4.

NFS - Network File System - Comes under the distributed file system - Used or enables computers of different arch running different Operating system - Work with heterogeneous environment.(For eg: Can integrate with Linux) Advantages of NFS: - allows multiple computers to use the same files, because all users on the network can access the same data (based on the permission). - reduces storage costs by sharing applications on computers instead of allocating local disk space for each user - provides data reliability & consistency - reduces system administration Note: 1. In Solaris-10 NFS version 4 is used by default. 2. Version related checks are applied whenever a clinet host attempts to access a server's file share. 3. NFSv4 provides firewall support since it uses a well known port -2049 NFS server files: 1. /etc/dfs/dfstab - list the locally pemanently shared resources at boot time - editable file by the root user
Output: ( Along with manually added shares) bash-3.00# cat /etc/dfs/dfstab # # # # # # # # # # share share share share share Place share(1M) commands here for automatic execution on entering init state 3. Issue the command 'svcadm enable network/nfs/server' to run the NFS daemon processes and the share commands, after adding the very first entry to this file. share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d "<text>"] <pathname> [resource] .e.g, share -F nfs -o rw=engineering -d "home dirs" /export/home2 -F nfs -o rw /export/home -F nfs /share -F nfs -o ro /nfs/share_test -F nfs -o rw=natra,ro=solaris -d "test" /source/open -F nfs -o rw=natra,ro=192.168.0.0/32 /unix_share

2. /etc/dfs/sharetab - Not recommended to edit - File will be updated through "share" , "shareall" , "unshare", "unshareall" commands - lists the locally and currently shared resources in the system
Output: (With manuallu edited entries) bash-3.00# cat /etc/dfs/sharetab /Desktop/ppt nfs rw /export/home nfs rw /share nfs rw /nfs/share_test nfs ro /source/open nfs rw=natra,ro=solaris test /unix_share nfs rw=natra,ro=192.168.0.0/32
3. /etc/dfs/fstypes - lists the default file system types for remote file systems.
Output: bash-3.00# cat /etc/dfs/fstypes nfs NFS Utilities autofs AUTOFS Utilities cachefs CACHEFS Utilities Here, nfs - used to share the resources across the network autofs - used to mount the shared resource at client side on demand cachefs - used to sync the updations performed to the shared resouce. (This is responsible for maintaining the reliability & consistencty)
4. /etc/rmtab - lists file systems remotely mounted by NFS clients. - do not edit this file Output: bash-3.00# cat /etc/rmtab solaris:/nfs/share_test
5. /etc/nfs/nfslog.conf - lists information defining the location of configuration logs used for NFS server logging

If the svc:/network/nfs/server service does not find any 'share' commands in the /etc/dfs/dfstab tile, it does not start the NFS server daemons. 2. The features provided by mountd daemon and lockd daemons are integrated into NFS v4 protocol.
Santosh Reddy
Page 134 of 145
3. In NFSv2 and NFSv3, the mount protocol is implemented by the seperated mountd daemon which did not use an assigned, well-knwon port number, which is very hard to use NFS through firewall. 4. nfsd and mountd daemons are started if there is an entry (uncommented) share statement in the system's /etc/dfs/dfstab file. 5. Manually create /var/nfs/public directory before starting nfs server logging. (Pls do ref the file /etc/nfs/nfslog.conf) 4.b. /etc/rmtab - contains a table of file systems remotely mounted by NFS clients - after a client successfully completes a NFS mount request, the mountd daemon on the server makes an entry in the /etc/rmtab file - file also contains a line entry fo each remotely mounted directory that has been successfully unmounted, except that the mounted daemon replacces the first character in the entry with (#) character. Output: bash-3.00# cat /etc/rmtab solaris:/nfs/share_test
To start/stop the nfs-server: Solaris-10: To start/enable: bash-3.00# svcadm enable nfs/server bash-3.00# svcadm -v enable nfs/server svc:/network/nfs/server:default enabled.

NFS server side daemons: 1. statd 2. lockd 3. mountd

Page 135 of 145
4. nfsmapid 5. nfslogd
NFS client side daemons: 1. statd - works with the lockd daemon to provide crash recovery functions for the lock Manager 2. lockd - supports record-locking operation ofn NFS files 3. nfs4cbd- NFSv4 call back daemon Note: mountd and lockd daemon runs on both server and client. Daemons & it's purposes: 1. mountd: - NOT available in NFSv4 - available in NFSv2 and NFSv3 - mountd daemon is integrated with NFSv4 protocol by default - handles file system mount requests from remote systeds and provides access control - started by: svc:/network/nfs/server service. Steps involved: 1. mountd daemon checks the /etc/dfs/sharetab file to determine whether a particular file or directory is shared and whether the requesting client has perission to access the shared resources. 2. when NFS client issues an NFS mount request, the mount command of the client contact the mountd daemon on the server. The mountd daemon provides service.
2. nfsd daemon: - handles client file system requests - started by: svc:/network/nfs/server - only root user can start the nfsd daemon - when a client process attempts to access a remote file resource, the nfsd daemon on NFS server receives the request and then performs the requested operation.
3. statd daemon: - works with the lockd daemon to provide crash recovery functions for the lock manager - server's statd daemon tracks the cients that are holding locks on an NFS server. When the NFS server reboots after a crash, the statd daemon on the server contacts the statd daemon on client, which informs lockd daemon to reclaim any locks on the server. - not used in NFSv4 - started by: svc:/network/nfs/status service
Santosh Reddy
Page 136 of 145
4. lockd daemon: - intergrated with NFSv4 - supports record locking operations on NFS files - started bu: svc:/network/nfs/lockmgr
5. nfslogd daemon: - provides operational logging for NFSv2 and NFSv3 - NFS logging is enabled, when the share is made available - for all file systems for which logging is enable, the NFS kernel module records all operations in a buffer file - operations are performed based on the config file /etc/default/nfslogd - started by: svc:/network/nfs/server service
6. nfsmapid: - implemented in NFSv4 - maps owner and group indentification that both the NFSv4 client & server user - started by: svc:/network/nfs/mapid - no interface to the daemon, but the parameters can be assinged to the file /etc/default/nfs
Commands: # share - makes a local directory on an NFS server available for mounting - also displays the contents of the file /etc/dfs/sharetab syn: # share displays the shared contents in the local system Output: bash-3.00# share /export/home rw "" /share rw "" /nfs/share_test ro "" /source/open rw=natra,ro=solaris "test" /unix_share rw=natra,ro=192.168.0.0/32 "" To share the resouces using # share command: Note: Sharing done through # share command will be available for current session and will not exist after reboots. # share -F <file_sys> <directory> - will share the specified directory without any Access list to all the clients in the network. - will update the file /etc/dfs/sharetab For eg: # share -F nfs /data_share

Autofs Autofs It's a clinet side sevice to make the shared resource available at the client side On demand. Autofs file is initialized by /lib/svc/automount script
/lib/svc/method/svc_autofs script starts the autofs daemon. NOTE: automountd deamon is completely independent from the automount command. Because of this seperation, we can add/modify/delete map information without having to stop and start the automountd daemon process.
Autofs types: 1. Master map 2. Direct map 3. Indirect map 4. Special map Master map: 1. Lists the other maps used for establishing the autofs file system. 2. The automount command reads this map at boot time. /etc/auto_master is the configuration file which have the list of direct & indirectly automounted resources.
Output: (With default entry to the file /etc/auto_master)
# Copyright 2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. # Use is subject to license terms. # # ident "@(#)auto_master 1.8 03/04/28 SMI" # # Master map for automounter # +auto_master /net -hosts -nosuid,browse /home auto_home -nobrowse
Direct map: Lists the mount points as ABSOLUTE PATH names. This map explicitly indicates the mount point on the client. Usually /usr/share/man directory is a good example for direct mapping.
/- mount point is a pointer that informs the automount facility that full path names are defined in the file specified by MAP_NAME (for eg: here its /etc/direct_map).
Page 142 of 145
NOTE: 1. /- is NOT an entry in the default master map file (/etc/auto_master) 2. The automount facility by default automatically searched for all map related file in /etc directory.
Output: ( After adding a manual entry to the file) # Copyright 2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. # Use is subject to license terms. # # ident "@(#)auto_master 1.8 03/04/28 SMI" # # Master map for automounter # +auto_master -hosts -nosuid,browse /net /home auto_home -nobrowse /direct //direct
Note-1: Here 1. "direct" is the file name that has to be resided under /etc/ dir. It's mandatory. This file will have the absolute path of the shared resource & mount point at the client. 2. This file has to be manually created. 3. The name of the file can be anything.
Output: The entry to the file /etc/direct bash-3.00# cat /etc/direct /usr/share/man 192.168.0.150:/usr/share/man
Note-2: Here 1. "/direct" is the file name that is residing under / directory. If the direct maping file is NOT residing under /etc dir, the full path of the file has tobe specified. 2. This file will have the absolute path of the shared resources & mount point at the client. 3. Again the name of the file can be anything Output: They entry of the file /direct bash-3.00# cat /direct

/usr/share/man
192.168.0.150:/usr/share/man
Indirect map: Are simplest and most useful autofs. Lists the mount points are relative path names. This map uses a relative path to establish the mount point on the client. /export/home - is a good example for indirect map while implementing NIS. An indrect map uses a key substitute value to establish the association between a mount point on the client and a directory on the server. Indirect map are useful for accessing specific filesystems, such as home directories, from anywhere in the network.
Special map: Provides access to NFS service by using their host names. By default special maps are enabled. /net directory is a good example for special map. This directory has the list of the hosts connected in the network. Once if we open the dir with the name of the host, this displays the shared resources of that specified host. It's similar to the network neighbourhood in windows.
Output: bash-3.00# bash-3.00# fire1 bash-3.00# bash-3.00# usr cd /net ls localhost cd fire1 ls
loghost
natra
solaris
sunfire2
NOTE: + symbol at the beginning of the +auto_master line in the /etc/auto_master file directs the automountd daemon to look at the NIS, NIS+ or LDAP databases before it reads the rest of the map. If this line is commented out, only the local files are searched unless the /etc/nsswitch.conf files specifies that NIS, NIS+ or LDAP should be searched.
auto_home This maps provide the mechanism to allow users to access their centrally localted $HOME directories -hosts map Provides access to all resources shared by NFS servers. The server are mounted below the /net/hostname directory, or if only the server's ip-address is known, bleow the /net/ipaddress directory. The server does not have to be listed in the hosts database for this mechanism to work.

To view the status of the autofs:
Output: bash-3.00# svcs -a | grep autofs online 11:51:59 svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default To start/stop the autofs: # svcadm enable svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default - to start # svcadm disable svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default - to stop EG: for Direct Maps: SERVER SIDE configuration: For sharing the man pages from the server 192.168.1.51 to clients. 1. Edit the file /etc/dfs/dfstab share -F nfs -o ro /usr/share/man 2. Save the file
CLIENT SIDE configuration: 1. Edit the file /etc/auto_master /direct_map 2. Save the file 3. Create a file /etc/direct_map file with the following contents edit: # vi /etc/direct_map /usr/share/man 192.168.1.51:/usr/share/man 4. Save the file 5. Make sure autofs service is running # svcs -a | grep autofs
Start the service if its offline. # svcadm enable autofs 6. Then automount the shared resources. # automount -v
Page 145 of 145
here -v = provides the detailed information about the automounted resources.
Output: bash-3.00# automount -v automount: /usr/share/man mounted automount: no unmounts
