Difference between Linux and Solaris commands

ps


ps -ef on Linux will give the full command line, but with Solaris you don’t get it all.
This is particularly critical when looking at java processes.
Fortunately Solaris retains the BSD style binaries in /usr/ucb, so execute:
 /usr/ucb/ps wwaux|grep java
instead

bash



/bin/sh on Solaris is a POSIX complaint bourne shell. If you have written bash-centric scripts, replace #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/bash

NFS


Starting of NFS daemon

Instead of
# service nfsserver start
one does:
# svcadm enable network/nfs/server

Exports



Instead of the file /etc/exports, under Solaris the file /etc/dfs/dfstab needs to be edited.

Sharing with zfs

Nowadays, you would probably use zfs sharenfs eg:
# zfs set sharenfs=on zpool/sharedfolder

# zfs sharenfs=rw=server.fqdn.ch,rw=otherserver.fqdn.ch zpool/sharedfolder

An attempt at a matrix

Linux commandSolaris similar commandComments
topprstatYou can compile top on Solaris, but you can’t rely on it’s accuracy
freevmstat
cat /proc/meminfoprtconf | grep Memory
cat /proc/cpuinfopsrinfo -vyou can also use prtconf
netstat -plsof -ilsof is not a default command. You need the package
uname -aisainfo -bto determine how many bits your os is
java -d64java -d64Start java with a default of 64 bit. Linux seems to do this by default though.

FOS Password recovery (Brocade Fabric OS Switch Password recovery procedure)

Password recovery using root account If you have access to the root account, you can reset the passwords on the switch to default. This feature is available for all currently supported versions of the Fabric OS. Follow the below steps to reset any account password from the root account. 1. Open a CLI session (serial or telnet for an unsecured system and sectelnet for a secure system) to the switch. 2. Log in as root. 3. At the prompt, enter the passwddefault command as shown below: switch:root> passwddefault 4. Follow the prompts to reset the password for the selected account. For example: switch:root> passwddefault All account passwords have been successfully set to factory default. Once the passwords have been reset, log into the switch as admin, and modify your default passwords. Make sure to keep a hardcopy of your switch passwords in a secure location. The default passwords for Fabric OS switches are: Root fibranne Adminpassword Userpassword Password r...
