• The /dev directory contains links to /devices Display login information for wfavorit
Compatibility note: This document is based upon Sparc Solaris 10 • (format) slice flags are: logins -x -l wfavorit
wm – Writeable Mountable (ie: A filesystem) Change the default shell to ksh for user wfavorit
rm – ReadOnly Mountable usermod -s /usr/bin/ksh wfavorit
OBP wu – Writeable Unmountable (ie: swap) Modify user accounts with usermod and delete accounts with userdel.
• All the following commands are to be run from the OBP and not Create group accounts with groupadd, modify group accounts with
the OS. They are only valid on Sparc hardware that uses the openboot Networking groupmod, and delete groups with groupdel.

• Force the system to look for new devices on restart • Steps for encapsulating root is in tasks section fssnap -d /var
touch /reconfigure List (verbose) the status of all metadevices in the system
• Mirror root filesystems (c0t0d0 to c0t1d0) metastat NFS
/, swap, /usr, and /var are on s0, s1, s3, and s4 respectively. s5 List (tree-formatted / grep-able) the metadevices in the system • Change startup parameters for the NFS daemon in /etc/default/nfs
and s6 will be used for 10 meg metadb’s on each disk. The steps are metastat -c Temporarily export /src directory
shown here with multiple reboots. This is to show the difference List each metadb, its status and device (with status descriptions) share /src
between each type of operation. Multiple reboots are not required. metadb -i Permanently export by putting share command in /etc/dfs/dfstab
. Duplicate c0t0d0’s layout onto c0t1d0 Create a soft partition (d30) on the metadevice d7 List all exported filesystems (on local system)

fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 Put a filesystem on the above device Share all filesystems listed in /etc/dfs/dfstab
. Set up two meta databases on each disk echo y | newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d30 shareall
metadb -a -f c0t1d0s5 Grow soft partition d30 by another 10 Gig Stop sharing all filesystems (not just those in /etc/dfs/dfstab)
