SMBFS in Solaris 10 11/06

Does the supported version of samba that came with solaris 10 11/06 support the mount of windows shared folders?
mount -t smfs??
thansk for your replay.

The short answer is No.
No version of solaris that I am aware of (except possibly recent builds of opensolaris) comes with a method of mounting smb filesystems.
I think theres a commercial product (sharity) that provides this..

Mount a windows share

Hi everybody...I have a simple question...how can I mount a windows
partition on a sparc solaris system?
are there any program like smbmount on linux?would be better if could be free...thanks a lot..David

as far as I know, the (simple) answer is: no.
Linux kernel supports a file system called smbfs, which is required to mount windows shares.
There is no smbfs under Solaris, so smbmount isn't available.

How to add drive space from one drive to another drive in Solaris 10

This is something I have never done in Solaris. I have a mounted drive (UFS) with a dir being used for a samba share. The dir is near full. I have another drive right beside it that is empty.
1. How can I add the drive space from the empty drive to the dir or drive that is nearly full? I have to access all files on both drives from the samba share.
2. Can I do this without loosing files?
3. Can I do this without messing up the samba share?
4. Can this be done on the fly without re-boot?
Thanks in advance.

I would start by getting acquainted with ZFS.
Make sure you have a recent Solaris 10 version with a stable zfs impl. like u4 and later.
Make sure you have installed reasonably recent Solaris 10 recommended patches - they make a big difference to ZFS.
Simple solution :
* put your new drive in a zpool
# zpool create smbpool <new_drive_device, fx. c0t1d0>
* make a zfs
# zfs create smbpool/smbfs
* stop your samba server
# svcadm stop smb ?
* copy your files to your zfs fssmb_ufs=old samba fs
# cp -rp <old_samba_fs> /pools/smbpool/smbfs
* un-mount and say goodbye to your old samba fs - /wave
# umount <old_samba_fs>
* expand your zpool with the old samba server fs partition
# zpool add smbpool <device name for old samba slice, fx. c0t0d0s6>
* move your zfs fs to be mounted on the same mount points as the old samba server fs
# zfs set mountpoint=<old_samba_mountpoint> smbpool/smbfs
* restart your samba server
# svcadm start smb ?
It requires downtime for the samba server to copy the files, which could be cut shorter by using rsync, rsyncing while samba server online, stop samba server, rsync again for the changes while the first rsync ran.

Smbmount with solaris 10

I want to mount an ntfs share.
in solaris 10 :
a) mount -F smbfs gives an error (smbfs doesn't seems to be known)
b) I didn't find the command smbmount under /usr/sfw
any idea or answer ?
Thanks

smbmount is not available with Solaris (or any OS other than Linux). I use Sharity light (free) at
http://www.obdev.at/products/sharity-light/

Migration from Netware 6.x NSS to Solaris 10 ZFS

Hi,
I am looking at Solaris and ZFS as being the possible future of our file store for users.
We have around 3TB (40million files) of data to transfer to ZFS from Netware 6.5 NSS volumes.
What is the best way to do this?
I have tried running utilities like richcopy (son of robocopy) , teracopy, fastcopy from a Windows client mapped to the Netware server via NCP and the Solaris server via Samba.
In all tests the copy very quickly failed, rendering the Solaris server unusable. I imagine this has to do with the utilities expecting a destination NTFS filesystem, and ZFS combined with Samba does not fit the bill.
I have tried running the old rsync client from Netware, but this does not seem to talk to Solaris rsyncd.
As well as NCP, Netware has the ability to export its NSS volumes as a CIFS share.
I have tried mounting a CIFS share of the Netware volume on Solaris...but Solaris as far as I am aware does not support mount -t smbfs as this is Linux only. You can mount smb:// from the Gui (Nautilus), but this does not help a great deal. I was hoping to run maybe Midnight Commander, but I presume that I would need a valid smb share to the Netware volume from the command line?
I really want to avoid the idea of staging on say NTFS first, then from NTFS to ZFS. A two part copy would take forever. It needs to be direct.
BTW..I am not bothered about ACL's or quota. These can be backed up from Netware and reapplied with ZFS/chown/chmod commands.
A wild creative though did occur to me as follows -
Opensolaris, unlike Solaris, has its CIFS kernel addition, and hence smb mounts from the command line (I presume), but I am not happy running opensolaris in production.So maybe I could mount the Netware NSS volume as a CIFS share on opensolaris (as a staging server), copy all the data to a ZFS pool locally, and the do a send receive to Solaris 10.......
Maybe not...
I suppose there is FTP, if I can get it to work on Netware.
I really need a utility with full error checking, and that can be left unattended.
Any ideas?

Bu unusable I mean that the mapped ZFS Samba drive to the windows workstation died and was inaccessible.
Logging onto the solaris box after this from the console was almost impossible. There was a massive delay. When I did log in there appeared to be no network at all. There were no errors in the smbd log file. I need to look at other logs to find out what is going on. Looking at the ZFS filesystem some files had copied over before it died.
After rebooting the Solaris box I then tried dragging and dropping the same files to the ZFS filesystem with the native windows expolrer interface on the windows client. This worked, as in the Solaris box did not die and the files were copying happily (until I manually stopped it). As we all know Windows explorer is not a safe unattended way to copy large amounts of files.
This tells me that the copy utilities on Windows are the problem, not native windows copy/paste.

Mount External Hard Disk (connected in Windows Server) in Solaris 11

Hello Solaris Admins,
I have a 2 TB WD My Book External Hard Disk connected to a Windows 2008 Server and needs to mount it in Solaris 11 Server.
For mounting a directory in File Server i am using the following Command
mount -F smbfs "hostname;username:password@//hostname/<SharedFolderName>" /ext_storage
Can i use the smbfs option for mounting the External Storage also.
Thanks,

Thanks Pascal for your reply.
I will confirm once the mounting is done.

Mirroring Windows Server to a Solaris Server using filesync & NFS

I am trying to mirror the data from a Windows 2000 server to a Solaris 10 server using filesync over NFS. I have been able to do this from one solaris/sparc machine to another without problems, but this heterogeneous sync is failing. The Windoze machine is running Hummingbird NFS Maestro Server. I've tried both an old version of Maestro (5.x) and the newest version. On the solaris machine, I craft the .packingrules file by hand and issue "filesync -o src" to copy from the nfs mounted source to a local directory. The initial copy seems to go well, albeit with numerous complaints about ownership and permissions. On either the second or third running of "filesync -o src", it wants to delete all of the files that it just wrote. Argh! Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
Perhaps I need to mirror in some other way. If all else fails, next I'll compile rsync on the solaris machine, trying it over NFS.
I'd appreciate any suggestions of how best to mirror.
By the way, my goal here is to show to Windoze PC users that this Solaris server can do everything that the Windows server can do, and more. With hopes, I'll be able to migrate completely off of the Windoze server.
Thanks

smbmount doesnt exist for solaris 10.
The functionality would require a smbfs kernel module which is not available in solaris 10.
I think there might be a commercial product that provides this functionality, but its name escapes me at the moment..

CIFS/SMB Client on Solaris 11

I am fairly new to Solaris and I am attempting to mount a cifs share. I have already installed the system/file-system/samba or whatever it was but I still cannot mount with smbfs. I am told that the filesystem type is not available because it is not installed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dan

in the past before oracle, when there was a large community, there were many docs on it, look at:
[http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started_With_the_Solaris_CIFS_Service]
i retrieved this (2008!):
[https://blogs.oracle.com/timthomas/entry/solaris_cifs_in_workgroup_mode]
and here are some notes i used on my home machine:
ultra20-root% svcadm enable -r smb/server
svcadm: svc:/milestone/network depends on svc:/network/physical, which has multiple instances.
ultra20-root% smbadm join -w WORKGROUP
Successfully joined workgroup 'WORKGROUP'
ultra20-root% zfs set sharesmb=on data/export/home

data_export_home_jdsuser=/export/home/jdsuser smb=()
hope this help,

Logical interface in solaris 10

Hi there,
I need to configure logical interface in a solaris 10 3/05 server. After reading the Solaris 10 IP services manual, I am not quite sure what to do. All the examples and explanation are about using the new subcommand addif of ifconfig. It was not clear in the documentation if the setting logical interfaces via addif will persist across boot.
Can one still configure logical interface in Solaris 10 in a more traditional way like in Solaris 8? In an Solaris 8 server I will do the following.
Let's assume I want to configure in a solaris 8 server a logical interface named hme0:1 with IP address 192.168.20.28 with netmask 255.255.255.0 for hostname host001
# cat /etc/hostname.hme0:1
host001
^D
# echo "192.168.20.28 host001" >> /etc/inet/hosts
# echo "192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0" >> /etc/inet/netmasks
# reboot -- -r
Can one still do that in solaris 10 3/05 server?

You don't need to reboot (you can run ifconfig for this boot and let the files do the work next time) and the -r doesn't do anything with interfaces (expecially virtual interfaces) anyway.

Installation problem on Solaris

I am trying to install sun one 7.0 on Solaris 8. The install is failing with this error:
ERROR - library load failed with following error: Can't load library: /opt/SUNWappserver7/lib/libinstallCore.so
INFO - End core server uninstallation
anyone know what causes this??
cheers

Looks like Solaris package installation failed and installer reverted to uninstallation sequence. For low level pkgadd log please check /var/sadm/install/logs/Sun_ONE_Application_Server_install.B<timestamp> file (timestamp is date and time of your installation attempt in mmddHHMM format).
Look for any errors in this file. Most likely thing that could have happened is that the installation of Java Help (SUNWjhrt) package failed because you didn't have existing package based J2SE installation on the system. If that's the case, workaround is to either preinstall package based J2SE installation or to selected option to install bundled J2SE that comes with application server.

Installation problem on Solaris 10

Dear All,
We are trying to install j2sdk 1.4.2_13 on solaris server zone. I have downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin
But when I try to execute this:
#./j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin
It gives me error: The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag
Tried with -console:
The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: Invalid command line option: console is not supported (10
01) (403)
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/2599368
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/6183226
WARNING: could not delete temporary file /tmp/ismp001/1222839
Then tried with -silent:
This time command just completed w/o any output at all.
Please suggest what can I do?
regards, Sean.

Dear Siddhesh,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried using X Manager GUI for my Solaris. But when I double click the j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin file to run it, it simply denies saying:
The filename "j2sdk-1_4_2_13-nb-5_0-solsparc-ml.bin" indicates that this file is of type "Unknown type". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "Shell script". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "Shell script", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.
Also /tmp has full authorizations:
drwxrwxrwt 7 root sys 557 Jun 24 08:34 tmp
I dont have Hummingbird for X11 forwarding with this client. Do I have any other option??
regards, Sean.

New to Solaris, Some Samba and NTFS issues.

This doesn't look like a Sun Directory Server issue. You may want to post this to another forum.

Error ora-15081 (and several others) while creating a new db in Solaris

Hi all,
OS: Solaris 11
DB: 11.2.0.3.5 (2 node rac)
While creating a new db on a Solaris 11 env, via dbca, the following stack error appeared to me:
ORA-19624: operation failed, retry possible

There are a lot of errors in this stack, and i'm not pretty sure which error is the main cause of this issue, but I think it's the "ORA-15081: failed to submit an I/O operation to a disk" that is the bad guy here. I did some researches and found that some possible sollutions:
1) One said that this error might be caused by bad permissions on the raw devices used in the "MYDG" diskgroup (i'm using 6 devices with external redundancy), but my devices are all with the grid:asmadmin and 660 permissions
2) Another said that this might be a problem with the owner:group of the oracle binaries. In ny installation the oracle binaries ($ORACLE_HOME/bin) are with the oracle:oinstall. I thougth of addind the asmadmin group to the oracle user, but i'm not sure what are the implications of this change. What do you thing?
What am I doing wrong and how can i solve it?

How to create HP LaserJet 2420 printer queue on Solaris 10

Hi Solaris Gurus,
I am having difficulty creating a printer queue for HP LaserJet 2420 on Solaris 10 (11/9) Sparc (Sun Fire T5220) server. A popular method used is with hppi (HP Jet Direct) tool but it does not have the exact printer driver and alternative printer drivers (e.g. HP LaserJet 4 / 4M, HP LaserJet 2000 series) resulted in only part of the text occupying the wrong side of an A5 page.
An alternative approach that has worked in the past for simple default paper tray 2 (single paper tray), with tray 1 reserved for manual feed. This method involves creating a working printer queue on a Windows workstation (XP) / server (2000) with the correct driver and having configured to support Unix printing to receive LPR request from Unix systems in general. A remote printer queue would then be defined on Solaris 10 system which points to the Windows system. However, the printing jobs kept going to tray 1 (top manual feed) even though the Windows printer queue was configured to go to tray 3 (bottom tray).
The earlier method would be simplest but needs the right driver (PDD) but I don’t know where to find it. The latter approach is also not working despite having got the right driver on Windows. A test page on the target Windows printer queue would print to tray 3 (bottom tray) of the printer correctly.
Printmgr does not work well with HP printers from experience. It is good for serial and local printers.
Your advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Crystal

Hi Giogio, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I am sorry to be the bearer of this news, but do the age of the printer, it is not supported by Mac OS X 10.9. I am including a list below of the supported printers from Apple:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download.
For more information, I would recommend contacting the Apple Support Communities.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
