How to Add NAS path on the mount point on RHEL 5.7.

This is a short note on adding the NAS path once it has been allocated by the EMC storage Engineer for the respective servers.


You will get the path information looking like this:


file://10.168.11.111/234590_MQL.


You have to convert that according to the fstab file syntax.


10.168.11.111:/234590_MQL /usr/app/share nfs rw,nolock,soft,intr,bg,nfsvers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,proto=tcp 0 0


Now reboot the server and run df -h command to check the NAS mount.

Below is an example:


root@sandbox03 ~ # df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on


10.168.11.111:/234590_MQL

197G 608K 197G 1% /usr/app/share



Thanks,

Finding only "Files", "Directories and soft links in the Existing directory.

Hi This may be a small and good tip - instead of writing a shell script, which I was trying to find only files in the existing directory. And just thought of using the unix inbuilt command "find" to do this :-)
1.Find only Files in the existing dir:
 find . -type f -name '*'
2.Find only Directory in the existing directory.
 find . -type d -name '*'
3 find only symbolic links
 find . -type l -name '*' 10:12:10

Patch 144325-01 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.

Patching the Solaris 10 Sparc to the latest patch level.
While patching the server I got this error and tried to search internet, Got some answers But they were contradicting each other.
Hence thought jotting down the issue here so that, this blog will act as a reference material for me and many other in case.....
1.
-bash-3.00$ metastat -c

d40 s 10GB c1t0d0s4

d31 s 10GB c1t1d0s3
d11 s 27GB c1t1d0s0

2. copy the output of various commands like...

# cat /etc/vfstab ; ulimit -a ; mount ; df -h ; sysdef -i; prtconf > /tmp/prepatch_`hostname`.txt

3. Boot the system in # init 0

4. at ok prompt ok boot -s

5 Assuming that the patches have already been copied to the desired location.

6. Once I hooked the script got the following error:

Approved patches will be installed in this order:

144325-01


Checking installed patches...
Executing prepatch script...
Verifying sufficient filesystem capacity (dry run method)...

Patch 144325-01 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.

See /var/sadm/patch/144325-01/log for details

Patchadd is terminating.

some of the post suggested to add the "install" account and "nobody"
account. this did not help. But while patching previous server I did not got this type of error, so just tried to recall what different I did here. Got it!

While copying the patches on the server to be patched I always created a dir with 777 permissions and will then delete, once done.

This time I had created a dir 766 and that was causing this error so ran.....

# chmod -R 777 /patch

# ./patchadd

that's it!

Happy patching.
