Solaris 10

List the installed packages:

pkginfo

Install a new package from /var/spool/pkg :

pkgadd

Install a new package from a random dir:

cd randomdir; pkgadd -d package-file-name

You can download free software packages from SunFreeware

Oldish Solaris machines only support patchadd(?).

See the list of installed patches:

patchadd -p

Apply patches:

• Download the patches( xxxxxx-xx.zip ) from http://sunsolve.sun.com/show.do?target=patchpage
• Unzip the patchfile somewhere
• Install the patch with patchadd ./xxxxxx-xx

Note that the server must be registered at Sun. It could bee needed to import the keys for the signed packages:

# keytool -export -storepass changeit -alias gtecybertrustca -keystore gtecybertrustca \
   -keystore /usr/j2se/jre/lib/security/cacerts -file /tmp/root.crt
# pkgadm addcert -t -f der /tmp/root.crt

1. /usr/bin/updatemaneger
2. Click buttons (droolling a little bit, possibly )
3. PROFIT!

If needed you must setup the proxy server with:

smpatch set patchpro.proxy.host=proxy.nch.it
smpatch set patchpro.proxy.port=8080

Then you can use those commands:

• smpatch analyze → show the recommended patches
• smpatch update → download&install the named patches
• smpatch download → download patch (without installing)
• smpatch add → installs an already downloaded patch

List all the defined services:

svccfg list

Show a service description definition

svccfg export <service>

Manage a service (use -t for a non permanent change effect):

svcadm enable <service>
svcadm disable <service>
svcadm restart <service>
svcadm refresh <service>

For example, to disable X11, do:

svcadm disable /application/graphical-login/cde-login

See the status of the services:

svcs

Find the logs in:

/var/svc/log/service:instance.log

prstat
prstat -s size -a

/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory
vmstat -p

prtdiag | head -20

format

Without LDAP/NIS only root can do that.

passwd -e <username>

uname -a
cat /etc/release

Reboot

shutdown -y -g 0 -i 6

Halt

shutdown -y -g 0 -i 5

 /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_keep_alive_interval <milliseconds>

The default is 7200000, two hours

in /var/log/, /var/adm/ and via `dmesg(1M)`

Define the filesystems you want to export with share(1), either directly or via the /etc/dfs/dfstab file (that replaces/etc/exports):

share -F nfs -o ro=sun.ucs.indiana.edu,rw=teak.uwsg.indiana.edu /reports

If you don't share anything, the NFS server does not start!
