To know nfs version in linux/solaris:

• On the nfs server side, you can run a nfsstat -s to check. The used version of nfs will have data summary other than 0% ones, as the following:

[email protected]# nfsstat -s
Server rpc stats:
calls badcalls badauth badclnt xdrcall
28 0 0 0 0

Server nfs v3:
null getattr setattr lookup access readlink
3 11% 4 14% 0 0% 1 3% 4 14% 0 0%
read write create mkdir symlink mknod
0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0%
remove rmdir rename link readdir readdirplus
0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 0 0% 2 7%
fsstat fsinfo pathconf commit
9 33% 4 14% 0 0% 0 0%

• On the nfs server, we can also have a checking on what versions(2/3/4) and transport protocols(tcp/udp) the nfs supported with the command “rpcinfo -p localhost|grep nfs”:

root@doxer# rpcinfo -p localhost|grep nfs
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100003 4 udp 2049 nfs
100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs

• On the nfs client hosts, you can run a nfsstat -c to check the version the client is using. As always, the used version of nfs will have data summary other than 0% ones, as the following:

[email protected]# nfsstat -c

• Also, you can run nfsstat -m on nfs client hosts to print information about each of the mounted NFS file systems(the output info has nfs version indicated also):

PS:

1.IPMP(bonding) and Link aggregation(LACP) are different things. Link aggregations(or trunk) provide high availability and higher throughput by aggregating multiple interfaces at the MAC layer. IP Multipathing (IPMP, or bonding) provides features such as higher availability at the IP layer. If you have 4 NICs, you can aggregate 2 nics and bonded them. This way you’ll have 2 gig throughput and protect switch and nic level failures. (ipmp or bonding works at IP layer. But note that IPMP need switch support and IPMP is supported by iSCSI but not by NFS)

2.For more infomation about solaris IPMP, you may refer to the following pdf file solaris IPMP bonding.pdf

To add a paging space “paging0″

• Create a new LV for paging space

mklv -t paging -y paging0 rootvg 10

• Add the entry in /etc/swapspaces to activate the paging space during next reboot

chps -a y paging0

• Activate the paging space

swapon /dev/paging0

To remove an active paging space “paging00″

• Deactivate the paging space using swapoff commnad

swapoff /dev/paging00

• remove the paging space using rmps command

rmps paging00

• Remove the entry from /etc/swapspaces so that it is not activated during next reboot

chps -a n paging00

To change ip/netmask/defaultrouter/gateway on solaris 10 or solaris 9 server permanently, you need care for files below:

/etc/hosts -> /etc/inet/hosts
/etc/hostname.<tags of your interface>
/etc/inet/netmasks
/etc/defaultrouter

Let’s assume that the new ip address is 101.139.1.151, new netmask is 255.255.254.0, new gateway is 101.139.1.254, new broadcast address is 101.139.1.255, here goes the steps:
1)change /etc/hosts(or /etc/inet/hosts which of them are the same file)
101.139.1.151 <tag for your server’s ip address>

2)change defaultrouter in /etc/defaultrouter:
101.139.1.254 /etc/defaultrouter

3)change /etc/hostname.<tags of your interface>(this step may not needed):

4)change netmask in /etc/inet/netmasks:
You’ll need first calculate network address from the given ipaddress(101.139.1.151) and netmask address(255.255.254.0). You can calculate it by hand(refer to this article http://www.doxer.org/learn-linux/basic-knowledge-for-netmask-hexadecimal-decimal-binary-netmask-cidr-calculator/), but I would prefer to use ipcalc:
[root@doxer~]# ipcalc -pnbm 101.139.1.151 255.255.254.0
NETMASK=255.255.254.0
PREFIX=23
BROADCAST=101.139.1.255
NETWORK=101.139.0.0

So from the output, you’d know that the network address is 101.139.0.0. Then add a line to /etc/inet/netmasks with format <network address> <netmask address>:
101.139.0.0 255.255.254.0

PS:
If you need change ip/netmask using ifconfig temporarily on solaris, use the following command:
ifconfig qfe1 101.139.1.151 netmask 255.255.254.0 broadcast + up

5)Now reboot your server and then use ifconfig -a and netstat -rnv to confirm everything is working as expected.

Here’s steps to reassign ip address for ilom or alom system console(out of band access):

• log on destination host’s system console through the system’s console port address or jump from KVM which connects the host
• after log on system console, run showsc to confirm before starting, for example on my host:

doxer_con> showsc
Advanced Lights Out Manager CMT v1.1.8

if_modem false

netsc_enetaddr 00:14:4f:7e:24:59
sys_enetaddr 00:14:4f:7e:24:50
doxer_con>

• Now do the actual setting according to your need:

setsc netsc_ipaddr
setsc netsc_ipnetmask
setsc netsc_ipgateway
setsc if_connection ssh

• confirm everything is what you want with showsc
• Now reset the system controller with resetsc -y to make it take effect
• Once the ILO has rebooted check that you can ssh to it and login as usual
