Posted by Lincoln Zuljewic Silva in Solaris on April 26, 2011
On a Solaris system, you can use the command fcinfo to get HBA related information:
# fcinfo hba-port
HBA Port WWN: 210000144fe71480
OS Device Name: /dev/cfg/c1
Manufacturer: QLogic Corp.
Model: 2200
Type: L-port
State: online
Supported Speeds: 1Gb
Current Speed: 1Gb
Node WWN: 200000144fe71480
HBA Port WWN: 10000000c950c6a2
OS Device Name: /dev/cfg/c5
Manufacturer: Emulex
Model: LP10000-S
Type: N-port
State: online
Supported Speeds: 1Gb 2Gb
Current Speed: 2Gb
Node WWN: 20000000c950c6a2
HBA Port WWN: 10000000c950c6b7
OS Device Name: /dev/cfg/c4
Manufacturer: Emulex
Model: LP10000-S
Type: N-port
State: online
Supported Speeds: 1Gb 2Gb
Current Speed: 2Gb
Node WWN: 20000000c950c6b7
In the example above, you can see that the server has three HBAs (one QLogic and two Emulex).
Working with “SVC”
Posted by Lincoln Zuljewic Silva in Solaris on December 2, 2009
Follow useful commands to work with “SVC” in Solaris:
More option can be found at “man svcadm”
# svcs -a -> list all installed services.
# svcadm disable SERVICE -> disable a service. if you use “svcadm disable -t SERVICE”, the service will be disabled only until the next reboot. You can use this commando to stop a service.
# svcadm enable SERVICE -> enable a service. If you use “svcadm enable -t SERVICE”, the service will not be enabled automatically on reboot.
# svcadm restart SERVICE -> restart a service.
# svcadm reload SERVICE -> reload the configuration file.
More options can be found at “man svcadm”
Solaris and NRPE
Posted by Lincoln Zuljewic Silva in Solaris on August 19, 2009
A very nice guide to install NRPE and nagios-plugins on Solaris 10 can be found here. To stop/start the NRPE, you can use the following command:
# svcadm disable svc:/network/nrpe/tcp
# svcadm enable svc:/network/nrpe/tcp
If you keep getting the "CHECK_NRPE: Error – Could not complete SSL handshake." message, see this FAQ comment
name/address mismatch
Posted by Lincoln Zuljewic Silva in Solaris on July 16, 2009
You may get in the messages log the follow error when trying access a FTP server on Solaris:
Jul 16 16:19:13 SolarisServer in.ftpd[1940]: [ID 913506 daemon.warning] refused connect from 172.152.121.114 (name/address mismatch)
This happends because the server cannot resolve your IP address. To solve it, you need disable TCP_WRAPPERS checks for in.ftpd by using this command:
# inetadm -m svc:/network/ftp:default tcp_wrappers=FALSE
After that, you will be able to do FTP again
