Configuration files

For Solaris 10 and earlier

/kernel/drv/fp.conf	Fiber channel port configuration file (For Fiber Channel Devices)
/kernel/drv/mpt.conf	mpt scsi/SAS HBA controller driver configuration file (For SAS Devices)
/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf	MPXIO operation configuration file (Used to define loadbalancing and failback modes and configure 3rd party devices)
/kernel/drv/iscsi_conf	iSCSI MPxIO configuration file (For iSCSI devices)

For Solaris 11

In case of Solaris 11, files in the directory /kernel/drv/ and /etc/driver/drv are the sample default configuration files delivered with OS (not used by MPxIO). Do not edit these files. The location of the configuration files is /etc/driver/drv/. The 4 configuration files used in case of Solaris 11 are the same, performing the same task. Although the syntax may be different.

/etc/driver/drv/fp.conf
/etc/driver/drv/mpt.conf
/etc/driver/drv/scsi_vhci.conf
/etc/driver/drv/iscsi_conf

It is best practice to edit these files using the stmsboot utility, rather than editing them manually.

Enabling/Disabling MPxIO

The syntax of the command stmsboot used to enable/disable MPxIO is :

stmsboot [-D fp|mpt] [-d | -e | -u | -L | -l controller_number]

where:
-D fp|mpt -> to select the protocol where you want to enable/disable mpxio
-e -> to enable STMS on all HBA
-d -> to disable STMS on all HBA
-u -> to update vfstable and dump config after manual file configuration
-l or -L unchanged - see the manpage of stms for a full description.

Few examples of using stmsboot command are :

# stmsboot -e	To enable MPxIO or all devices (globally)
# stmsboot -D fp -e	To enable MPxIO for fiber channel devices
# stmsboot -d	To disable MPxIO for all devices (globally)

How to confirm MPxIO is enabled

To make sure that MPxIO is enabled for a LUN, simply run the format command and check for the /scsi_vhci in the logical path of the LUN.

# format
4. c6t60060E800561CF00000061CF00000002d0 
          /scsi_vhci/ssd@g60060e800561cf00000061cf00000002

Another way is to check the “mpxio-disable” parameter in the configuration files :

Solaris 7,8,9

# egrep "^mpxio-disable=" /kernel/drv/*.conf
/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf:mpxio-disable="no";

Solaris 10

# egrep "^mpxio-disable=" /kernel/drv/*.conf
/kernel/drv/fp.conf:mpxio-disable="no";

Solaris 11

# egrep "^mpxio-disable=" /etc/driver/drv/*.conf
/etc/driver/drv/fp.conf:mpxio-disable="no";

For Solaris 10 and 11, MPxIO is enabled by default on X86 platforms.

Verifying that the scsi_vhci module is loaded

scsi_vhci is the virtual host controller interconnect driver used to manage path of storage LUN. If you find that the scsi_vhci module is not loaded, then most likely MPxIO is not enabled.

Solaris[TM] 7,8,9,10,11
# modinfo -c |grep scsi_vhci
 21          1 scsi_vhci                        LOADED/INSTALLED

Verifying Health of paths

We can check the multiple paths to the storage array LUNs by using mpathadm or luxadm command. The various states for the paths are :

ONLINE/primary
ONLINE/secondary
STANDBY/secondary
OFFLINE/*
UNAVAILABLE/*

mpathadm (supported for FC/SAS/iSCSI) [Works on Solaris 10, 11]
luxadm (supported on FC only) [Works on Solaris 7,8,9,10,11]

# mpathadm list LU

                Total Path Count: 2 
                Operational Path Count: 2

To check the health of the paths using mpathadm :

# mpathadm show LU  /dev/rdsk/c9t60080E50001C0300000006464D8C9044d0s2

Load Balancing policies

MPxIO also provides the load balancing capability to the I/O. There are basically 3 options to configure load balancing :

Round Robin	Selects all paths in a round robin way.
Logical Block	I/Os within the range specified by range_size parameter would go on the same path. Improves performance on some storage arrays which have per path caching of data.
None	No load balancing – only one path is used.

The load balancing policy can be set in the configuration file /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf for solaris 10 and earlier or in the /etc/driver/drv/scsi_vhci.conf file for solaris 11.

load-balance="round-robin";

Auto-failback policy

Auto-failback policy enables the re-enable the failed path after it has recovered from the failure. By default the auto-failback is enabled. There are 2 ways to enable the auto-failback :
Non-persistent way
By this method, the auto-failback option does not persist across reboots.

# mpathadm modify mpath-support --autofailback on libmpscsi_vhci.so
# mpathadm modify mpath-support -a on libmpscsi_vhci.so

Persistent way
For the changes to persist across reboots set the auto-failback parameter in the configuration file /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf for solaris 10 and earlier or in the /etc/driver/drv/scsi_vhci.conf file for solaris 11. This requires a reconfiguration reboot.

auto-failback="enable";

Verifying auto-failback
To confirm that the auto-failback is enabled use :

# mpathadm show mpath-support libmpscsi_vhci.so | grep -i failback
           Supported Auto Failback Config:  1
           Auto Failback:  on  <--- 0="" current="" failback="" max="" polling="" pre="" rate="">

Step 1, Prepare File System

First off, create a dedicated file system which we can export our jumpstart configuration from. You can probably skip this and just use any existing file system but this way everything is self-contained and we avoid NFS exporting more than we need.

We use HFSX to ensure that the file system is case sensitive, HFS+ can cause problems with pkgadd(1M).

$ hdiutil create -size 1g -type SPARSE -fs HFSX -volname "install" install
$ hdiutil attach install.sparseimage -mountpoint /install
Next up, download and mount sol-10-u10-ga-x86-dvd.iso.

$ open sol-10-u8-ga-x86-dvd.iso

MacBook-Pro:tftpboot$ df -h

Step 2, NFS

Share /install and the DVD via NFS with the correct options. -alldirs allows clients to mount from any point within that file system (which jumpstart requires), and -maproot=root is also required by jumpstart. As this allows root-owned files to be created, make sure you understand the security risks.

$ sudo vi /etc/exports

/install                  -alldirs -maproot=root
/Volumes/SOL_10_811_X86 -alldirs -maproot=root

$ sudo nfsd checkexports && sudo nfsd enable

$ sudo nfsd checkexports && sudo nfsd disable
$ sudo nfsd checkexports && sudo nfsd enable

Check export

$ showmount -e
Exports list on localhost:
/Volumes/SOL_10_811_X86             Everyone
/install                            Everyone

Step 3, DHCP

$ cat /etc/bootpd.plist


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>dhcp_enabled</key>
    <string>en1</string>
    <key>Subnets</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>10.151.120</string>
            <key>net_mask</key>
            <string>255.255.255.0</string>
            <key>net_address</key>
            <string>10.151.120.0</string>
            <key>net_range</key>
            <array>
                <string>10.151.120.194</string>
                <string>10.151.120.254</string>
            </array>
            <key>allocate</key>
            <true/>
            <key>dhcp_option_66</key>
            <string>10.151.120.193</string>
            <key>dhcp_option_67</key>
            <data>L2Jvb3QvZ3J1Yi9weGVncnViAA==</data>
        </dict>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>

Note 10.151.120.193 => IP server (source setup)

If the file /etc/bootpd.plist already exists, turn off Internet Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing. Then the file will be removed, and you can create it as in this step.

(Make sure to move /etc/bootpd.plist to the Trash and disable the DHCP server before turning Internet Sharing back on. See "Uninstall steps" below.)
If you are using an ethernet port other than en1 (see System Information or System Profiler for the port name), change the value for the dhcp_enabled key to the port you are using.
The data for the dhcp_option_67 key is the bootloader filename "pxelinux.0" (see step 9 below), null terminated and encoded into base64. This can be generated with the free DHCP Option Code Utility, or by entering the following command in Terminal:

 $ printf %s00 `echo -n /boot/grub/pxegrub | xxd -p` | xxd -r -p | openssl base64

L2Jvb3QvZ3J1Yi9weGVncnViAA==

(See this discussion thread.)

The string for the dhcp_option_66 key is the IP address of the tftp server, i.e. the address of the Mac from step 2.

Stop and start service DHCP

$ sudo /bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist
$ sudo /bin/launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist

Most parts of these configurations should be self-explanatory. The /boot/grub/pxegrub entry is important for our next step, and I’d recommend using that exact pathname for reasons explained later.

Step 4, TFTP

Now, enable the TFTP server which comes with OSX. I added the -s option so tftpd would chroot to the tftpboot directory, both for security reasons and also to ensure that paths specified as /path/to/file would work correctly (relative to /install/tftpboot).

I also changed the location of the tftpboot directory so that everything was self-contained within the UFS image. In previous attempts I didn’t do this and ran into problems with GRUB which I think are again caused by case-insensitive file systems.

$ sudo vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist

[...]
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/libexec/tftpd</string>
        <string>-i</string>
        <string>-s</string>
        <string>/install/tftpboot</string>
    </array>
[...]

$ mkdir /install/tftpboot
$ sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist
$ sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist

Test tftp
You can then create a test file and check that it’s working as you expect, using:

echo "testing" >/install/tftpboot/testfile
printf "verbose\ntrace\nget testfile\n" | tftp localhost
rm /install/tftpboot/testfile

Step 5, GRUB

Next up, configure PXE booting using GRUB. We need to copy the GRUB images and configuration from the Solaris install DVD then modify it for our environment:

$ rsync -av /Volumes/SOL_10_811_X86/boot/grub /install/tftpboot/boot/
$ rsync -av /Volumes/SOL_10_811_X86/boot/multiboot /install/tftpboot/sol10u8x/
$ rsync -av /Volumes/SOL_10_811_X86/boot/x86.miniroot /install/tftpboot/sol10u8x/

As we are copying the boot files from the DVD, they come hardcoded with particular pathnames to e.g. the menu.lst file. While it may be possible to pass extra parameters to pxegrub and load this from a different path, I simply recommend doing as I do and replicating the /boot/grub/ path structure so that everything Just Works.

The menu.lst file includes kernel arguments and allows you to choose which type of install to perform at startup. My file listed below has 3 choices:

    Unattended install using a graphical environment (if available). The “install” keyword after the kernel instructs it to perform an unattended install, so long as it can find the necessary settings from sysidcfg etc.
    As above, but force the use of the console and do not start a graphical environment (using the “nowin” keyword)
    A manual install, so you need to go through the steps of layout out disks, selecting packages, etc.

$ vi /install/tftpboot/boot/grub/menu.lst

default=0
timeout=60

title Solaris PXE Unattended Install
    kernel /sol10u8x/multiboot kernel/unix - install -B \
      install_media=10.151.120.193:/Volumes/SOL_10_811_X86,\
      sysid_config=10.151.120.193:/install/jumpstart,\
      install_config=10.151.120.193:/install/jumpstart
    module /sol10u8x/x86.miniroot

title Solaris PXE Unattended Install (console)
    kernel /sol10u8x/multiboot kernel/unix - install nowin -B \
      install_media=10.151.120.193:/Volumes/SOL_10_811_X86,\
      sysid_config=10.151.120.193:/install/jumpstart,\
      install_config=10.151.120.193:/install/jumpstart
    module /sol10u8x/x86.miniroot

title Solaris PXE Manual Install
    kernel /sol10u8x/multiboot kernel/unix -B \
      install_media=10.151.120.193:/Volumes/SOL_10_811_X86
    module /sol10u8x/x86.miniroot

Anyone used to doing jumpstart but with RARP/bootparams will notice the symmetry between install_config etc in the GRUB configuration and similar options in /etc/bootparams. Make sure that the full kernel arguments are all on one line, and that there are no spaces in between the install_media=..,sysid_config=.. options.

Step 6, Jumpstart

Finally, set up your Jumpstart configuration. Here’s what I personally use, you may want something different:

$ mkdir /install/jumpstart
$ cd /install/jumpstart
$ vi sysidcfg

#password is password
root_password=uHL9FDUAkZpGs
timeserver=localhost
timezone=Europe/London
security_policy=NONE
service_profile=limited_net
system_locale=C
terminal=vt100
keyboard=US-English
name_service=none
network_interface=ce0 { hostname=TT4-V890-A
ip_address=10.151.120.248
protocol_ipv6=no
netmask=255.255.255.192
default_route=10.151.120.193}
nfs4_domain=dynamic

Ordinarily this file is processed using a check script available in the jumpstart_sample directory on the Solaris DVD, however this only works from a Solaris host. To create the rules.ok file, we need to strip out any comments and put entries on one line, then create the checksum (although this isn’t actually necessary).

$ vi rules

hostname host1 - profile -

$ cp rules rules.ok
$ echo "# version=2 checksum=$(cksum -o 2 rules | awk '{print $1}')" >> rules.ok

Machine profile. This gives me a full Solaris install (minus OEM stuff) on mirrored ZFS disks with additional dump/swap space (the defaults made dump a bit too small I found).

$ vi profile

install_type    initial_install
pool            store auto 4g 4g mirror c1t0d0s0 c1t1d0s0
bootenv         installbe bename sol10u8x
cluster         SUNWCall

Step 7 Change IP server

And check IP status

$ ifconfig -a

en1: flags=8963 mtu 1500
    ether 4c:8d:79:e0:59:ac
    inet6 fe80::4e8d:79ff:fee0:59ac%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
    inet 10.151.120.193 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.151.120.255
    media: autoselect
    status: active

Step 8, Make A Cup Of Tea

With everything set up you should be able to enable PXE booting in your BIOS and watch it automatically install. One small minor problem you may have if you don’t have a BIOS which allows you to hit F12 or similar and choose PXE booting for one boot only is that it will infinitely cycle through installing, rebooting, installing, rebooting.. until you change your boot options.

It turns out that Mac OS X comes with a DHCP server built-in. There don't seem to be any good and simple instructions out there on how to use it. Or at least, there weren't any.... until now!
The server is called bootpd and does both DHCP and BOOTP. These instructions just describe using it for DHCP, however.

To start, you need to create a configuration file for the server. The file should be stored in /etc/bootpd.plist. Here's a sample configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>bootp_enabled</key>
    <false/>
    <key>detect_other_dhcp_server</key>
    <integer>1</integer>
    <key>dhcp_enabled</key>
    <array>
        <string>en0</string>
    </array>
    <key>reply_threshold_seconds</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
    <key>Subnets</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>allocate</key>
            <true/>
            <key>lease_max</key>
            <integer>86400</integer>
            <key>lease_min</key>
            <integer>86400</integer>
            <key>name</key>
            <string>192.168.33</string>
            <key>net_address</key>
            <string>192.168.33.0</string>
            <key>net_mask</key>
            <string>255.255.255.0</string>
            <key>net_range</key>
            <array>
                <string>192.168.33.2</string>
                <string>192.168.33.254</string>
            </array>
        </dict>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>

This file sets up the DHCP server to run on the interface named en0, which is typically the (non-wireless) Ethernet port. It assumes that that port has been configured with the IP address 192.168.33.1, and dishes out addresses from 192.168.33.2 to 192.168.33.254.
To get more information on editing this file, take a look at the bootpd manfile:

man bootpd

To start the server, run the following command:

sudo /bin/launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist

Stopping the server is very similar:

sudo /bin/launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/bootps.plist

If you want to create static assignments, so that a given device always has the same IP address, you need to create a file called /etc/bootptab. There's a small sample of the file below. For more information, just do man bootptab

%%
# machine entries have the following format:
#
# hostname      hwtype  hwaddr              ipaddr          bootfile
client1         1       00:01:02:03:04:05   10.0.0.20
client2         1       00:a0:b2:ef:ff:0a   10.0.0.20

Make sure to include the %% at the top of the file. It's safe to leave the bootfile field empty because we're just using bootpd as a DHCP server, not a bootp server.
