How to start / stop Solaris services

Checking service status

# svcs -a






You can "grep" the wanted status => 

# svcs -a | grep disabled




To start the service =>

svcadm enable /network/shell:kshell

Stop it ==>

svcadm disable /network/shell:kshell

Restart ==>

svcadm restart /network/shell:kshell

CONTROL-M system variables

%%CYCLIC Y|N This variable is used in the command line of the
ctmorder utility to override the Cyclic
parameter in cases where the user wishes to
order a single run of a job that is defined as
cyclic.
Y – job is cyclic
N – job should be run only once.

%%DATACENTER string Name of the data center for the current
CONTROL-M installation.

If that fails, this option forcefully reset the system. Forcfully resets the system. Attempts to gracefully reset the control domain. If that fails, this option forcefully reset the control domain. Forcefully resets the control domain. When resetting the control domain, this option may automatically boot (this is the default behavior when the auto-boot option is not specified). When resetting the control domain, this option does not automatically boot and stays at the OpenBoot ok prompt. This option overrides all reboot variables and stops the control domain at the OpenBoot ok prompt after host reset. The auto-boot? option remains unchanged, thus subsequest reset commands automatically reboot host if the auto-boot? option is set to true. reset /SYS reset -script /SYS reset -f /SYS reset /HOST/domain/control reset - f /HOST/domain/control set /HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disable reset /HOST/domain/control set /HOST/domain/control auto-boot=disable reset -f /HOST/domain/control powercycle [–y] [–f] powercycle –y powercycle -f poweroff followed by poweron. The –f option forces an immediate poweroff, otherwise the command attempts a graceful shutdown. stop /SYS start /SYS stop –script /SYS start –script /SYS stop –force /SYS start –force /SYS poweroff poweroff –y poweroff –f Removes the main power from the host server. The –y option enables you to skip the confirmation question. ALOM CMT attempts to shut the server down gracefully. The –f option forces an immediate shutdown. stop /SYS stop –script /SYS stop –force /SYS poweron Applies the main power to the host server or FRU. start /SYS setlocator [on/off] Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off. set /SYS/LOCATE value=value showfaults [–v] Displays current valid system faults. show /SP/faultmgmt clearfault UUID Manually repairs system faults. set /SYS/component clear_fault_action=true showlocator Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either on or off. show /SYS/LOCATE

Solaris mirror and grow metadevice

Use Format command to list disks :



Now we create the metadevice:



# metainit d201 1 1 c0t3d0s2


# metainit d202 1 1 c0t4d0s2



Make the mirror d200 :

# metainit  d200 -m d201 d202







We format the new filesystem :

# newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d200






We mount the filesystem :





Ok we have here 4g



We attach 2 new slices :

# metattach d201 c0t5d0s2

# metattach d202 c0t2d0s0

Metastat command show the new mirror size:



But the #df -h command show only 4g...



For that, we need to "growfs"

# growfs -M /test /dev/md/rdsk/d200





We can now check the size ==>

 


==> OK
