Disk Devices

Commands to display all disks on a system:

  # cfgadm -s "select=type(disk)"
  # echo | format
  # format -e

Configure a disk to be used via iSCSI

  # svcadm enable svc:/network/iscsi/initiator
  # iscsiadm modify initiator-node -A myclient
  # iscsiadm add discovery-address 10.211.55.200
  # iscsiadm discovery -t enable
  # devfsadm -c iscsi

Replace a faulty disk c1t1d0 from ZFS pool testpool:

  # zpool offline testpool c1t1d0
  # cfgadm -c unconfigure c1::dsk/c1t1d0
  # cfgadm -c configure c1::dsk/c1t1d0
  # zpool replace testpool c1t1d0
  # zpool online testpool c1t1d0

Mirror existing boot disk c3t0d0s0 with disk c3t2d0s0

  # fdisk -B c3t2d0s0
  Write the existing submirror disk vtoc to the replacement disk
  # prvtoc /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s0
  Alternatively you can use the replaced disks vtoc from an existing explorer data collector output, if installed.
  For an exact copy, don't forget to check that the replacement disk has the same HW specs as the disk it replaces

On x86 systems:

  # installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s0

On SPARC systems:

  # installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk/dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s0

Networking - Manual Administration

Switch to manual network configuration:

  # netadm enable –p ncp defaultfixed

Show physical network interfaces:

  # dladm show-phys

Create interface with static IPv4 configuration:

  # ipadm create-ip net0
  # ipadm create-addr –T static –a local=10.9.8.7/24 net0/addr
  # ipadm show-addr

Create interface with DHCP configuration:

  # ipadm create-ip net0
  # ipadm create-addr –T dhcp net0/addr

Create interface with auto-generated IPv6 configuration:

  # ipadm create-ip net0
  # ipadm create-addr –T addrconf net0/addr

Configure default route:

  # route –p add default 192.168.1.1

Activate DNS configuration:

  # svccfg –s dns/client setprop config/nameserver = net_address: 192.168.1.1
  # svccfg –s dns/client setprop config/domain = astring: “myhost.org”
  # svccfg –s name-service/switch setprop config/host = astring: \“files dns\”
  # svcadm refresh name-service/switch
  # svcadm refresh dns/client

Activate DNS configuration (alternate approach by editing /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf and then importing these modifications into SMF)

  # nscfg import –f svc:/system/name-service/switch:default
  # nscfg import –f svc:/network/dns/client:default
  # svcadm refresh dns/client
