Solaris 10 and NFS/Automount into Solaris 8 Env.

Hello fellow Administrators,
I have recently upgraded my own station to Solaris 10 6/06 update 2 in a Solaris 8 NIS/Automount environment. How ever, i have noticed that my station from time to time 'frezzez' and becomes unresponding. It's as if the system hangs due to some sort of conversation/hand shake with my NIS Server. I have several automounts in my vfstab to my local NIS server.
Question, has anyone else had similair problems/experiances ?
Grateful to any answer that can solve this mystery of mine.
Regards,
Pierre

Hi Robert,
Seems to be working better now and i tried on a user as well and there are no complains yet. In the end i applied the latest Sun Cluster for Sol 10 (not many where applied to the 6/06 update 2) and your small 'hack'.
Thank's a bunch!

  • After Security Update, NFS automount hangs login over LDAP

    We currently have a laptop lab in the process of being set up. We have 45 MacBook Pro systems with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 installed. We had set up LDAP authentication for users to log in to our directory server and it worked great over both wired and wireless (WPA2). After installing security update 2010-005, systems hang upon logging in over wireless. We believe the problem is with an NFS automount we set up, because removing the automount allows users to log in successfully over wireless. The NFS is crucial so that users can save data to the server, however, so this is not a solution. Are there any configuration tweaks to undo whats been blocked by the security update?

    After installing update 2010-005, I am having issues with my system hanging during startup (stays indefinitely on the grey 'apple' screen, with a spinning icon, and no status or message stating what it is trying to do).
    I am able to restart, hold SHIFT, and boot into safe mode, with limited functionality, but have not been able to resolve the issue.
    How did you determine that it was hanging on wireless login? (I have not found a log file that states what the system is doing during startup, or why its hanging)
    I have searched for issues like this, and most posts recommend removing entries from /Library/Caches and other similar items, but I'm concerned that I might be starting out with a small problem, and then cause a much bigger problem by removing system entries without really knowing what's broken in the first place.
    Is there a debug screen during startup, that would tell me what steps its taking? (or a log file?)
    I've looked through all of the entries available to the console log review app (apps/utilities/console.app), and was hoping that 'system.log' would tell me what's going on, but so far I'm not seeing anything useful. (there are errors in there, and it looked like there was a crash around the same time as the update was happening, but I'm not seeing any entry during startup that shows what its trying to do, and reveals that its just stuck on that task)
    I've run some of the tasks in the 'Snow Leopard cache cleaner' and onyx utilities, but that hasn't fixed my login problem.
    Any info you have on further diagnosis, rolling back the update, or anything I should try next, would be greatly appreciated!

  • 7110 OMG, CIF and NFS permission woes. I'm tired and I want to go home.

    OK, here's the dealio...
    I have share exported via CIFS and NFS from our 7110 array running 2010.02.09.2.1,1-1.18
    I have AD configured for CIFS Authentication.
    I have a UNIX desktop so I am using SMB authenticate via AD and talk to the CIF share on the array.
    I have the NFS share mounted using vers 3 on Solaris 10.
    Now, the problem..........
    PERMISSIONS!!!
    Here’s what I want to do,
    Create a file or folder on the CIF and preserve the username on NFS.
    Example, I login as myself via AD, bam I’m on the array.
    Create a file.
    Check the ownership of the file on the NFS mount and it’s suddenly become a series of numbers. Of which I assume are taken from my Windows SID. As Solaris can’t relate my SID to a UNIX username I’m left out in the dark.
    So, I then tried to set up some rule based identity mapping so my Windows login would be converted to my UNIX username, no luck still a series of numbers for me listed against my files.
    I could work around this if I could chown but I can’t even do that as it says chown: filename: Not owner
    What gives? How do I keep my username from CIFS to NFS? HELP!!!!

    Did you have any joy with this?
    I have never been able to determine a consistent configuration for NFS/CIFS sharing on a 7310. Ended up opening access to all on the NFS side (v4) and the CIFS just worked out of the box.
    I am using ID Mapping, with IDMU first, then rule based mapping next. The box picks up the correct UID/GID from AD but doesn't always inherit the user & group for the NFS side.

  • Slow ZFS-share performance (both CIFS and NFS)

    Hello,
    After upgrading my OpenSolaris file server (newest version) to Solaris 11 Express, the read (and write)-performance on my CIFS and NFS-shares dropped from 40-60MB/s to a few kB/s. I upgraded the ZFS filesystems to the most recent version as well.
    dmsg and /var/log/syslog doesn't list anything abnormal as far as I can see.. I'm not running any scrubs on the zpools, and they are listed as online. top doesn't reveal any process utilizing the CPU more than 0.07%.
    The problem is probably not at the client side, as the clients are 100% untouched when it comes to configuration.
    Where should I start looking for errors (logs etc.)? Any recommended diagnostic tools?
    Best regards,
    KL

    Hi!
    Check Link speed.
    dladm show-dev
    Check for collisions and wrong network packets:
    netstat -ia
    netstat -ia 2 10 ( when file transfered)
    Check for lost packets :
    ping -s <IP client> ( whait more 1 min )
    Check for retransmit, latency for respond:
    snoop -P -td <IP client> ( when file transfered)
    Try replace network cable.

  • Deadlocking issue with sshfs and nfs

    Okay, I've used both sshfs and nfs for remotely accessing the home partition on my fileserver, but I have been having a problem where the networking on the server suddenly cuts out.  Any processes that are accessing the folder I mounted nfs/sshfs with become deadlocked.  Any processes that try access my home directory, where the remote folder sits, are also deadlocked.  I cannot get into the machine with ssh.  I have to manually reboot it in order to get any networking at all.
    I have to also force-kill any known processes that are accessing the remote folder, and if I don't know what they are, I have to forcibly unmount it.  This issue has been occuring with this specific fileserver since I got it.  It is running Arch Linux i686, but has had the same problem with the server editions of both Fedora and Ubuntu.
    I don't know where to begin with fixing this problem, nor do I know how to diagnose it.

    Consider "soft" mount option for NFS.

  • Can't Shake NFS Automount, please HELP!

    Mac connects directly to cable modem.
    Problem? Something keeps grabbing me when I go online... my Mac cannot change it's IP address.
    Folder called automount gets created upon reboot.
    Network icon - get info - shows the following: Kind of file is Alias. It is located at /Network. Server is nfs://automount%20-nsl%20%5B197.
    I've been getting this forever - If I get rid of it, it reappers.
    I have no network here, I'm a home user.
    My Windoze doesn't have this automount and gets a new IP each time... but my Mac is locked.
    Can anyone please help me?
    PS - I've tried DHCP renew, it doesn't work at all, nothing happens. My ISP is clueless about this. I believe it is locking onto a static IP but I'm not the one making it do it!

    You report that you're connecting the Mac directly to a Motorola Surfboard without a router. What model Surfboard? (There should be a sticker on the bottom) How is the Windows PC connected to the internet? I have a Mottorola Surfboard at home driving a Mac and Pc, but through an Airport Basestation / router. I suspect that putting a basic four-port US$30 router between the modem and the Mac would help. Note that the Motorola Surfboard FAQ notes that multiple computer support requires a separate router. If you just switch the Ethernet cable from the modem between the PC and the Mac, or connect the Mac via Ethernet and the PC via USB, the modem doesn't accept the Mac's MAC (heardware-specific Media Access Code) after grabbing the PC's MAC code on power up. Putting a router between modem and computers and resetting the modem along with restarting the computers will force the modem to grab the router's MAC, and the router will then serve private-network IPs to the attached computers. Any router currrently on the market will also give you a NAT firewall as well; this hardware firewall can safely be used along with the OS X and Windows software firewalls and can greatly increase the security of your computers (especially the Windows one).
    Also from the Motorola FAQ:My computer keeps pulling a 169.254.x.x IP address, the modem has been reset and power cycled and the computer is still getting the same IP address, how do I correct this?
    Disconnect the Coax cable from the modem and restart it. Once the "Receive" light begins flashing reboot your computer. If the modem and the computer are communicating, the computer will get a 192.168.100.11 IP address (192.168.0.x with the SBG900) from the cable modem. Shut down your computer. Connect the Coax cable to the cable modem, restart it, and wait for the modem to sync up with the cable company. Once the modem is in sync (Power, Receive, Send, On-line are all illuminated) restart the computer. Once the computer has restarted check the IP address. The computer should have a valid IP address from the cable company. Computers attached to the SBG900 will always get a private (192.168.0.x) address regardless of whether or not the SBG900 is registered on the cable system.

  • NFS automount -- How???

    Greetings,
    I purchased a Mac Mini on the 26th, and have 2 other Linux boxes on the network. The Linux server is set up using SMB and NFS for file sharing, and I can mount the NFS export by issuing a 'mount -t nfs john:/home/jgould mnt'. I have to restart Finder to cause it to show up on the desktop and in the side bar. Is there a way to make the OS auto mount the share on startup (Not that I restart that often) I've searched for an /etc/fstab file, but can't find it. Any ideas would be helpful
    Josh

    I did what you suggested, and had no errors in the process. After I did i rebooted adn this is waht my mount list looks like:
    Danielle:~ jgould$ mount
    /dev/disk0s3 on / (local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (local)
    fdesc on /dev (union)
    <volfs> on /.vol
    automount -nsl [137] on /Network (automounted)
    automount -fstab [165] on /automount/Servers (automounted)
    automount -static [165] on /automount/static (automounted)
    /dev/disk1 on /Volumes/SEAQUEST (local, nodev, nosuid, read-only)
    And running a mount -a results in this:
    Danielle:~ jgould$ mount -a
    mount_nfs: /private/var/automount/Users/jgould/mnt: Operation not permitted
    I'm at a loss.

  • Apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

    apple id was originally disabled. I reset my password and can sign into my apple id account. But when i want to buy an app in the app store it says my apple id is disabled again.

    It's real easy to create a new one and, in fact, it's too easy.  I say that because multiple IDs are a PIA.  The problem is that anything obtained from the iTunes Store is PERMANENTLY associated with the ID that was used to obtain the item(s).  iTunes items can not be transferred from one ID to another and IDs can not be merged.
    The problem arises when you want to update an app.  If you're doing it from iTunes on your computer, you must log out and back in to get to the correct ID.  Then you update and log out/in again to get back to where you started.  It's slightly easier if you update from the iPad/iPod device as there is no need to log out/in BUT you still need the correct password for the appropriate ID.  Of course, with a disabled ID, the problem is much worse!
    A replacement Apple ID makes sense ONLY if you wish to start out absolutely brand new with zero iTunes Store purchases.
    If you're really butting your head aginst a wall and you're reasonably close to an Apple Store, my suggestion is that you make an appointment with the resident "Genius" and get his/her help.
    One last thought...  If your brother actually got a human on the phone to dispute the charges, go there and explain the problem.  Of course, if Apple did not accept his explanation of what occurred, that could be the whole issue.  Apple believes that money is owed on the account!

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • Long tone on start up and then goes into open firmware

    I stumbled upon the older posts here and thought I'd add a solution.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6115258
    It was about an emac starting up with a long tone and the led flashes a few times and then goes into Open firmware, and when doing "mac-boot" in open firmware, it attempts to start, shows the apple symbol, the screen goes dim and crashes.
    It could be a bad power switch. To confirm - you can remove the emac case, be careful not to touch the motitor's picture tube. Find the cable to the power switch; with a small wire just touch together the black and red wires on the power switch cable (or it might be red and green). This will start the emac. If it boots up and runs OK then the power switch was bad. Not sure where to buy a new switch. I soldered and glued my switch together.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Or, you'll find both the short pigtail-cabled nVidia graphics driven power switch and the version with a longer cable used with the AIT graphics driven models here* for a good deal less.
    Note that the later ATI version can actually be used with either product generation.

  • How can I take text from a webpage that is in multiple rows and move it into a single row in Excel?

    I need help figuring out how to take data from internet pages and enter it into one single row in an excel, or numbers if that is the easier way to go.  I was also told access might be good to use.  Basically I am going to chamber of commerce page and wanting to extract the member listing and enter in a database in a single line.  The  data is in different numbers of lines as you will see below (info edited to take out personal info). So I want to take the  name of business, business owner, address, city, state, zip, and phone and put it into one line on a spreadsheet.  I want to do this many times over. I think there is a way to do it through apple script and automator, but I have not been successful after 2 weeks of trying and searching.  I have over 800 listings and I surely don't want to go through and do them one at a time.  Any suggestions?

    How can I get the extra data out of the way and remove the format so that it will go into excel?  Thanks for any help you can provide.  I am not to savvy with code, but I got a friend who is an IT guy that can help.  Thanks again

    So, basically, create 800 individual entries, each one containing everything from business name through the phone (not fax) number, add some commas and spaces to entries, and then put each entry on a separate line?
    1. Go to website page such as this one-- http://www.littlerockchamber.com/CWT/External/WCPages/WCDirectory/Directory.aspx ?ACTION=newmembers --which seems formatwise very close to what you're trying to scrape.
    2. Cmd-A to select all. Cmd-C to copy it to clipboard.
    3. Open freeware TextWrangler. Cmd-V to paste info from clipboard into a blank TW document.
    4. Remove lines from top and bottom so that only membership list remains.
    5. Process lines to remove everything from "Fax" line through "See Also" line. Only business name through phone number will remain in the file.
    --A. TW > Text > Process Lines containing . . .
    -----(check "Delete matched lines"; uncheck all others)
    -----Enter "Send Email" in the search box.
    -----Click Process.
    --B. Repeat 5A for other lines to be removed
    ------Member Since
    ------See Also
    ------Fax
    6. Insert markers to separate entries:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: \r\r\r\r
    ------in replace box: \r***
    ------Click Replace All
    7. Remove remaining blank lines:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: \r\r
    ------in replace box: \r
    ------Click Replace All
    8. Add comma and space at end of each line:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: $
    ------in replace box: ,  (comma space)
    ------Click Replace All
    9. Remove all returns:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: \r
    ------in replace box: (leave blank)
    ------Click Replace All
    10. Insert returns in place of markers:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: \*\*\*,  (backslash asterisk backslash asterisk backslash asterisk comma space)
    ------in replace box: \r
    ------Click Replace All
    11. Remove trailing comma and blank on each line:
    TW: Search > Find . . .
    ------(check "Wrap around" and "Grep")
    ------in Find box: , $ (comma space dollar sign)
    ------in replace box: (leave blank)
    ------Click Replace All
