How to reset iLOM root password on Sun/Oracle X server
Posted on November 17th, 2011
if you’ve lost root password on Sun/Oracle X server, you can recovery it using ipmitool. This was tested on Sun X4600 M2, Solaris 10 installed.
# ipmitool user list 1 ID Name Callin Link Auth IPMI Msg Channel Priv Limit 1 false false true NO ACCESS 2 root false false true ADMINISTRATOR 12 radproxy true true true OPERATOR 13 ilomint true true true ADMINISTRATOR 14 ldapproxy true true true OPERATOR 15 pamproxy-admin true true true ADMINISTRATOR 16 pamproxy-oper true true true OPERATOR # ipmitool user set password 2 new-password
Now you can login using new-password.
$ ssh root@ilom Password: <new-password> Sun(TM) Integrated Lights Out Manager Version 2.0.2.5 Copyright 2007 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. ->

Disabling mpxio in Solaris 10
Posted on September 16th, 2011
When using Vertias DMP you should disable MPxIO in /kernel/drv/fp.conf:
mpxio-disable="yes";
And reboot.
Otherwise you will get single path on all of your disks over scsi_vhci
and only one controller visible for VxDMP
root@rtx1 # vxdmpadm getctlr all LNAME PNAME VENDOR CTLR-ID ====================================== c10 /scsi_vhci - -

Moving Solaris zone to another host using VxVM
Posted on August 18th, 2011
We are going to move a zone to another host.
Assume zone name “mzone”. Zone root and all filesystems reside on separate Veritas disk group twilightdg.
On tht source host:
host1 # zoneadm -z mzone halt host1 # zoneadm -z mzone detach host1 # umount /zones/mzone host1 # vxdg deport mzone_dg
On the destination host:
host2 # vxdg import mzone_dg host2 # vxvol -g mzone_dg startall host2 # mount /zones/mzone host2 # zonecfg -z mzone mzone: No such zone configured Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone. zonecfg:mzone> create -a /zones/mzone zonecfg:mzone> exit host2 # zoneadm -z mzone attach -u host2 # zoneadm -z mzone boot

Using QLA2460 adapter with Solaris 9 on SF4800 server
Posted on July 20th, 2011
You are required to install Sun SAN 4.4.x package (Oracle patch 10297699) in order to get it working. This is the requirement for Solaris 8 and 9. Solaris 10 has bundled SAN software
Otherwise you will not be able to see it using luxadm or load qlc driver.
For more info refer to Solaris[TM] 8 & 9 (not for Solaris[TM] 10) Fibre Channel/SAN storage access configuration guidelines [ID 1006118.1] provided by support.oracle.com

Solaris 10 NFS chown: permission denied
Posted on April 13th, 2011
You’ve made a share using Solaris 10 server and using the share on a Solaris 10 client
Server: /etc/dfs/dfstab
share -o rw=@10.10.10,root=@10.10.10 /backup
Client:
mount 10.10.10.1:/backup /backup bash-3.00# cd /backup/ bash-3.00# ls lost+found sap bash-3.00# ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Apr 12 09:52 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Apr 13 17:33 sap bash-3.00# chown orasap:sapsys sap chown: sap: Permission denied
In this case you need to remount the share as NFS v3 share.
bash-3.00# mount -o vers=3 10.10.10.1:/backup /backup bash-3.00# cd /backup bash-3.00# ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Apr 12 09:52 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Apr 13 17:33 sap bash-3.00# chown orasap:sapsys sap bash-3.00# ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 96 Apr 12 09:52 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 orasap sapsys 96 Apr 13 17:33 sap

How to umount fs from local zone
Posted on April 13th, 2011
Suppose you’ve got /backup filesystem loopback mounted to local zone from global zone. Now you don’t need that filesystem anymore and want to umount it and use its disks for another purpose.
global# grep backup /etc/zones/z* /etc/zones/zone.xml: <filesystem special="/backup/rtp" directory="/backup" type="lofs"/> global# zonecfg -z zone zonecfg:zone> remove fs dir=/backup zonecfg:zone> commit zonecfg:zone> global# umount /backup UX:vxfs umount: ERROR: V-3-21705: /backup cannot unmount : Device busy
Then you need simply umount that fs from global zone.
global# umount /zones/zone/root/backup global# umount /backup
