I’m having problem with my new server. After sys-unconfig, server seems ‘hang’, i thinks it was IPv4 issues (network interface speed).
Here the failure output :

Sun Fire V240, No Keyboard

The system is coming up. Please wait.

I need to set up 1000 full duplex (1 giga) for network interface, here the files need to be edit.

Then do normal reboot and check your NIC behind CPU should be blinking.

Actually there are few ways to copy data from filer to another filer.

1) using snapmirror
this method is easily using filerview but need license , so might be expensive. Easily to maintain and the data can be sync automatically.

2) using rsync, so you might need to run with script. What you need to do is mount the location of the filer and destination of the filer inside any server. Then create rsync script and run it as cronjobs.

3) using ndmcopy - this is very simple and easily to used for single data movement. I’ll show you how to do.
Telnet filerA (destination) :

Telnet filerB (source) :

p/s: some user call filer or netapp hostsname.

Let say your office have Console Management Solution like Lantronic.

The command looks like different like unix command, no “#” but “>” been used.
Here some guide to used it :
Telnet to the console.

1) help = list all command

2) listdev = list all connection

3) direct 03 = it will connect to the 03 connection which is server A

4) ESC + shift B = go to ok promt (be careful using this command, your server A will down and go to ‘ok’ promt)

5) ESC + shift + A = quit current connection to console

Try it out, it is good we have remote console so we can access to every server anytime. No need monitor and still can be access at single boot promt.

1) How to add user

2) How to change passwd

3) If you need to changes user account

4) Let’s say you have NIS server, then you need to change NIS account/passwd

I’m using Red Hat as production clients, if there are changes with the hostname/ip, i just do below command.

Then reboot.

There are several ways to set up new solaris box

1) install fresh using CD or jumpstart

2) already set-up just need to fresh configure (15 minutes downtime)

3) already set-up but need to changes IP/hostname/netmask (5 minutes downtime)
