First verify  if  nfs packages are installed and service is running. pkg info | grep -i nfs Step 1:  zfs set share=name=fs1,path=/fs1,prot=nfs mypool/fs1 Step 2: zfs set sharenfs=on mypool/fs1 Solaris 10 Way of Doing the Same vi /etc/dfs/sharetab # share -F nfs /fs1 # cat /etc/dfs/sharetab /fs1       -       nfs     rw Save and exit the file.

Add disk online to a pool >> zpool online -e poolname c0t6000XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXd0

Back up the existing zone configuration >>cp -p /etc/zones/<zonename>.xml /etc/zones/<zonename_date>.xml >>zonecfg -z <zonename> info >>zlogin <zonename> prtconf -vp | grep Memory >>zoneadm -z <zonename> halt >>zonecfg -z <zonename> >>     select capped-memory >>         info >>        set physical=current+required >>        info >>     end >>  verify >>  commit >>  exit Check the increased memory using command >>zonecfg -z <zonename> info   

To upgrade Ram on the logical domain we first login to the base-machine/Controller Domain. Calculate the total memory >>prtdiag -v |more Save the existing configuration as backup/rollback plan >>ldm add-config config-name To check for the backed up configuration >>ldm list-config >>ldm add-memory 8G Ldom-name The above command will increase the existing  Ram by 8Gb. Save the new configuration as backup/rollback plan >>ldm add-config new-config-name Just to make sure that the configuration was backed up >>ldm list-config And that’s it!

Login to Controller Domain >>ldm list >>telnet 0 5000 >>echo |format >>echo |format |grep -I 60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX     where 60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX is the LUN ID     If present then format and label the same >>format 60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX      type la and then y , then quit by typing q If not present then check for fabric devices >>cfgadm -al  >>cfgadm -c configure c5       and so on >>devfsadm -Cv >>echo |format |grep -I   60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  Label the disk >>format 60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  >>ldm list-services >>ldm add-vds new-vds >>ldm add-vdsdev /dev/rdsk/60050768XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_disk1@newvds >>ldm list-services >>ldm add-vdisk disk1 disk1@newvds Ldom-name >>ldm list-services >>ldm add-config config_name Login to the LDOM   Che...

The boot process in solaris comprises of mainly five stages 1.   Boot PROM Phase :  The boot PROM runs the (POST) Power On Self Test     to test the hardware like Ram, Keyboard , Cpu ,Ethernet Adress and Host Id       etc. Boot PROM reads the primary   boot program Bootblk [Sector 1-15]        and executes it. 2. B oot Program Phase :  Bootblk loads the secondary boot program       i-e ufsboot into the memory. Ufsboot  reads and loads the kernel .       The Kernel is composed of two parts       a). Unix (Platform specific kernel)      b). Genunix (Platform independent Kernel)      Ufsboot combines these two kernels into one complete kernel       and loads into memory.   3.  Kernel Initialization Phase :  The kernel reads the configuration       file /etc/system...
