Daz’s bits and bobs

I found this on opensolaris forums…. A nice way to increase your swap without the need for a reboot.

First check your current swap size and details;

swap -lh

or

zfs list

Then create a temp swap zfs store and delete and increase swap

Done.

If you are happy to reboot…

zfs set volsize=8G rpool/swap
reboot

A nice easy post by Evgeniy on getting opensolaris on HP kit….

I ran through a pkg verify the other day and came across a lot of errors. Running the subsequent pkg fix command presented me with this…

pkg: Requested “install” operation would affect files that cannot be modified in live image.

Please retry this operation on an alternate boot environment.

This is the fix….

mkdir /mnt/osol-134fix
beadm create osol-134fix
beadm mount osol-134fix /mnt/osol-134fix
pkg -R /mnt/osol-134fix fix –accept
beadm activate osol-134fix

Then reboot your machine into the new boot image

Errr, I cant find the CIFS service in the 134 build.

I know it was renamed to as per below but still cant see it anywhere?

> system/file-system/smb (was SUNWsmbfs*)
> service/file-system/smb (was SUNWsmbs*)

Anyone have any ideas?

pkg search *smb gets me these… but i cant install them.

require depend service/file-system/smb@0.5.11-0.134 pkg:/redistributable@0.1-0.134
require depend service/file-system/smb@0.5.11-0.134 pkg:/storage/storage-server@0.1-0.134

require depend system/file-system/smb@0.5.11-0.134 pkg:/slim_install@0.1-0.134

pkg install system/file-system/smb

No updates necessary for this image.

pkg install service/file-system/smb

Update 23/05/2010
Problem was due to errors within package manager — see this post

Want iSCSI in opensolaris?

Grab SUNWiscsitgt via package manager.

enable the server via svcadm;

svcadm enable iscsitgt

create your zfs iscsi pool;  (this command will limit iscsi drive to 500GB in size)

zfs create -V 500G tank/iscsi

set isci on via zfs command;

zfs set shareiscsi=on tank/iscsi

check that target is up and running;

iscsitadm list target -v

Done. Should be able to connect via ip from another machine. I have not covered CHAP or any client side configuration. Assumed isolated LAN.
