ZFS - Mirror root parition after initial install

  • zpool list / zpool status
  • Assuming c5t0d0s0 is root, repartition c5t1d0s0 to match. (Make sure you delete "s2", the full drive partition, or you'll get an overlap error.)
  • zpool attach rpool c5t0d0s0 c5t1d0s0

ZFS - Create a raidz pool

  • Partition drives to match, in this case "s0" is the same size.

  • zpool status

ZFS - Create File Systems

Configuring rsyncd

  • Download the "manifest": http://opensolaris.org/os/community/smf/manifests/rsync.xml
  • May need to update rsync.xml and reload to set correct path.
  • Install the manifest: "svccfg import rsync.xml"
  • Create /etc/rsyncd.conf
  • Start the service: "svcadm enable svc:/network/rsync:", may need to clear it first: "svcadm clear svc:/network/rsync:"
  • Run "svcs | grep rsync".
  • svcs -xv - if it's in "maintenance" state, this provided info.
  • Enable access in /etc/ipf/ipf.conf: "pass in quick on nge0 proto tcp from 10.22.44.1 to any port = 873 keep state" and restart the firewall.
