lofiadm is command you need to use mounting an existing CD-ROM image under Sun Solaris UNIX. This is useful when the file contains an image of some flesystem (such as a floppy or CD-ROM image), because the block device can then be used with the normal system utilities for mounting, checking or repairing filesystem Mounting an Existing ISO CD-ROM Image under Solaris UNIX If your image name is cd.iso, you can type command: # lofiadm -a /path/to/cd.iso Output: /dev/lofi/1 Please note that the file name argument on lofiadm must be fully qualified and the path must be absolute not relative (thanks to mike for tip). /dev/lofi/1 is the device, use the same to mount iso image with mount command: # mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt # cd /mnt # ls -l # df -k /mnt Mount the loopback device as a randomly accessible file system with mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/X /mnt. Alternatively, use this combined format: mount -F hsfs -o ro `lofiadm -a /path/to/image.iso`...

The Solaris pmap command will provide the total memory usage of each process. The following shell script prints the memory usage of each process, sorted by ascending memory usage. #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/printf "%-6s %-9s %s\n" "PID" "Total" "Command" /usr/bin/printf "%-6s %-9s %s\n" "---" "-----" "-------" for PID in `/usr/bin/ps -e | /usr/bin/awk '$1 ~ /[0-9]+/ { print $1 }'` do    CMD=`/usr/bin/ps -o comm -p $PID | /usr/bin/tail -1`    # Avoid "pmap: cannot examine 0: system process"-type errors    # by redirecting STDERR to /dev/null    TOTAL=`/usr/bin/pmap $PID 2>/dev/null | /usr/bin/tail -1 | \ /usr/bin/awk '{ print $2 }'`    [ -n "$TOTAL" ] && /usr/bin/printf "%-6s %-9s %s\n" "$PID" "$TOTAL" "$CMD" done | /usr/bin/sort -n -k2 Example output: PID    Total...

There is a lot of notes about the mirroring, but I always used this one: 4) Time to get our hands dirty!      The following steps should be done while in single usermode idealy.      4.1) Making both drives the same.           We start with slicing the second drive in the same way as our first drive, the master.           # prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2           No need to newfs the second drive slices here, that will automaticaly done by the mirror syncing later.      4.2) Metadbs      We can now setup our metadbs.           # metadb -a -f -c3 c1t0d0s7 c1t1d0s7           Since its the initial creation of the metadbs, we need to force it with -f -a adds the metadbs, and -c tell...

Sun Cluster 3.2 & SCSI Reservation Issues If you have worked with luns and Sun Cluster 3.2, you may have discovered that if you ever want to remove a lun from a system, it may not be possible because of the scsi3 reservation that Sun Cluster places on the disks.  The example scenario below walks you through how to overcome this issue and proceed as though Sun Cluster is not even installed. Example:  We had a 100GB lun off of a Hitachi disk array that we were using in a metaset that was controlled by Sun Cluster. We had removed the resource from the Sun Cluster configuration and removed the device with configadm/devfsadm, however when the storage admin attempted to remove the lun id from the Hitachi array zone, the Hitach array indicated the lun was still in use.  From the Solaris server side, it did not appear to be in use, however Sun Cluster has set the scsi3 reservations on the disk. Clearing the Sun Cluster scsi reservation steps: 1) Determ...

There is two ways to find PID by knowing which port is used: Lsof ( L i S t O pen F iles) lsof | grep <port_number>   1. lsof doesn’t work from non-global zone. 2.
