Solaris 11 – sshd and iSCSI Initiator

Solaris 11 – sshd and iSCSI Initiator11. Aug 2006

I just installed the latest Solaris Express Release into an VMware Virtual Machine. For the installation I used the “reduced network Cluster”.

-bash-3.00$ cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER CLUSTER=SUNWCrnet

To get the SSH Daemon working I used the following commands:

-bash-3.00# mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /mnt -bash-3.00# cd /mnt/Solaris_11/Product/ -bash-3.00# pkgadd -d . SUNWgssc SUNWgss \ SUNWsshcu SUNWsshdr SUNWsshdu SUNWsshr SUNWsshu -bash-3.00# ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -bash-3.00# ssh-keygen -t dsa -f/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -bash-3.00# svcadm enable network/ssh -bash-3.00# svcs -xv network/ssh svc:/network/ssh:default (SSH server) State: online since Fri Aug 11 12:24:14 2006 See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M sshd See: /var/svc/log/network-ssh:default.log Impact: None.

[Update:] To generate the SSH-Keys for sshd you could also use:

bash# /lib/svc/method/sshd -c

Afterwards I made some experiments with the included iSCSI Initiator. For the tests I used my existing Linux iSCSI Enterprise Target Installation. To configure the Solaris Initiator I used:

bash-3.00# iscsiadm modify discovery -t enable bash-3.00# iscsiadm add discovery-address 192.168.74.1:3260 bash-3.00# iscsiadm list target Target: iqn.2004-03.de.fm-berger:w0004:iscsi_demo01 Alias: - TPGT: 1 ISID: 4000002a0000 Connections: 1 Target: iqn.2004-03.de.fm-berger:w0004:iscsi_demo02 Alias: - TPGT: 1 ISID: 4000002a0000 Connections: 1 bash-3.00# devfsadm -c iscsi bash-3.00# format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c0d0 /pci@0,0/pci-ide@7,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0 1. c3t0d0 /iscsi/[e-mail]-berger%3Aw0004%3Aiscsi_demo010001,0 2. c3t1d0 /iscsi/[e-mail]-berger%3Aw0004%3Aiscsi_demo020001,0 Specify disk (enter its number): 1 selecting c3t0d0 [disk formatted] format> inq Vendor: IET Product: VIRTUAL-DISK Revision: 0 format> quit bash-3.00# newfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2 newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2: (y/n)? y /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2: 4186112 sectors in 1022 cylinders of 128 tracks, 32 sectors 2044.0MB in 45 cyl groups (23 c/g, 46.00MB/g, 11264 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at: 32, 94272, 188512, 282752, 376992, 471232, 565472, 659712 bash-3.00# mkdir /foo bash-3.00# mount /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 /foo/ bash-3.00# df -ah Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 536M 283M 199M 59% / /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2 1.9G 2.0M 1.9G 1% /foo
