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
  # prvtoc /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0s0

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
