Image Packaging System (IPS) is a new network based package management system included in

Oracle Solaris 11. It provides a framework for complete software lifecycle management such as

installation, upgrade and removal of software packages. IPS also enables you to create your own

software packages, create and manage package repositories, and mirror existing package

repositories.

Oracle Solaris software is distributed in IPS packages. IPS packages are stored in IPS package

repositories, which are populated by IPS publishers.

E: The following command displays property information about the local repository.

$ pkgrepo get -s /export/repoSolaris11

SECTION PROPERTY VALUE publisher prefix solaris repository description This\ repository\ serves\ a\

copy\ of\ the\ Oracle\ Solaris\ 11\ Build\ 175b\ Package\ Repository.

repository name Oracle\ Solaris\ 11\ Build\ 175b\ Package\ Repository

repository version 4

The value of the publisher prefix specifies that solaris is to be used in the following cases:

When more than one publisher's packages are present and no publisher is specified in the package

name in the pkg command

When packages are published to the repository and no publisher is specified.

The first IP address is already in use.

Check DNS

* (A) Check whether DNS is configured on your client by verifying that a non-empty /etc/resolv.conf

file exists.

* (F) If /etc/resolv.conf does not exist or is empty, check that your DHCP server is providing DNS

server information to the client:

# /sbin/dhcpinfo DNSserv

If this command returns nothing, the DHCP server is not set up to provide DNS server information to

the client. Contact your DHCP administrator to correct this problem.

* (B) If an /etc/resolv.conf file exists and is properly configured, check for the following possible

problems and contact your system administrator for resolution:

** The DNS server might not be resolving your IPS repository server name.

** No default route to reach the DNS server exists.

STMF – Manages transactions, such as context and resources for Small Computer System Interface

(SCSI) command execution, and tracking logical unit and port providers. STMF also handles logical

unit mappings, allocating memory, recovering failed operations, enumeration, and other necessary

functions of an I/O stack.

STMF is controlled by stmfadm, and stmfadm is the majority of the commands you will be using to

administer COMSTAR (COmmon Multiprotocl Scsi TARget).

Install the packages you need for COMSTAR with iSCSI and reboot:

# pfexec pkg install storage-server

# pfexec pkg install SUNWiscsit

# shutdown -y -i6 -g0

Note: You can set up and configure a COMSTAR Internet SCSI (iSCSI) target and make it available over

the network. The iSCSI features can work over a normal Internet connection (such as Ethernet) using

the standard iSCSI protocol. The iSCSI protocol also provides naming and discovery services,

authentication services using CHAP and RADIUS, and centralized management through iSNS.

The COMSTAR target mode framework runs as the stmf service. By default, the service is disabled.

You must enable the service to use COMSTAR functionality. You can identify the service with the svcs

command. If you have not rebooted the server since installing the group/feature/storage-server

package, the service might not be enabled correctly.

Here we should use SIGTERM to terminate the process.

Note:

When no signal is included in the kill command-line syntax, the default signal that is used is –15

(SIGKILL). Using the –9 signal (SIGTERM) with the kill command ensures that the process terminates

promptly. However, the –9 signal should not be used to kill certain processes, such as a database

process, or an LDAP server process. The result is that data might be lost.

Tip - When using the kill command to stop a process, first try using the command by itself, without

including a signal option. Wait a few minutes to see if the process terminates before using the kill

command with the -9 signal.

pkgchk checks the accuracy of installed files or, by using the -l option, displays information about

package files. pkgchk checks the integrity of directory structures and files. Discrepancies are written

to standard error along with a detailed explanation of the problem.

Device c3t6d0 is not included in the RAIDZ storage pool. The other three devices are included in the

raidz pool. The data on these devices are protected.

Note: In addition to a mirrored storage pool configuration, ZFS provides a RAID-Z configuration with

either single, double, or triple parity fault tolerance. Single-parity RAID-Z (raidz or raidz1) is similar to

RAID-5. Double-parity RAID-Z (raidz2) is similar to RAID-6.

You can use the pgrep and pkill commands to identify and stop command processes that you no

longer want to run. These commands are useful when you mistakenly start a process that takes a

long time to run.

To terminate a process:

Type pgrep to find out the PID(s) for the process(es).

Type pkill followed by the PID(s).

You can kill any process that you own. Superuser can kill any process in the system except for those

processes with process IDs of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Killing these processes most likely will crash the

system.

The process of subnetting involves the separation of the network and subnet portion of an address

from the host identifier. This is performed by a bitwise AND operation between the IP address and

the (sub)network prefix. The result yields the network address or prefix, and the remainder is the

host identifier.

The routing prefix of an address is written in a form identical to that of the address itself. This is

called the network mask, or netmask, of the address. For example, a specification of the most-

significant 18 bits of an IPv4 address, 11111111.11111111.11000000.00000000, is written as

255.255.192.0.
