Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1007825.1 : Instructions to set up the Network Share Volume and Diagnostics from a Solaris[TM] system
PreviouslyPublishedAs 210817 Description Note: The following instructions are used to run NSV (Nullsoft Streaming Video) operations and run diagnostics from an NFS server. The NFS server can be any server that supports NFS and is connected to the same network as the Service Processor. The SP will NFS mount the shared file system from the designated NFS server. The NSV packages can be obtained from the CD that was included with the server, or from the sun.com/downloads website. Steps to Follow The following are the NSV Packages: nsv_V2.1.0.x.zip: SP and platform diagnostics with some support for the SP. nsv-redhat_V2.1.0.x.zip: Red Hat packages. nsv-solaris9_V2.1.0.x.zip: Solaris[TM] 9 packages. nsv-suse_V2.1.0.x.zip: Suse Packages. Step 1. On the NFS server, copy the NSV packages to the /mnt/nsv/ directory and extract(unzip) all the files in this directory. The following directories should have been created: /mnt/nsv/diags /mnt/nsv/logs /mnt/nsv/snmp /mnt/nsv/spupdate Note: If you will be running the diagnostics, you must set permissions to the following directories: nfserver# chmod 777 /mnt/nsv/diags/<NSV_version_number>/scripts nfsserver# chmod -R 755 /mnt/nsv/diags/<NSV_version_number>/mppc Step 2. Start the NFS share of the directory by doing the following: nfserver# cd /usr/lib/nfs :Directory of the NFS binaries. nfserver# ./mountd :Mount daemon is the RPC server that answers requests for NFS access information and file system mount requests nfserver# ./nfsd :The daemon that handles client file system requests. nfserver# share /mnt/nsv :Shares the /mnt/nsv file system. nfserver# share :Command to show what file systems are being shared. Example: - /mnt/nsv rw ?? Step 3. Mount the /mnt/nsv filesystem to the Service Processor. Log onto the SP. nfserver# ssh -l <username> <SP-IP address> Mount the /mnt/nsv filesystem to the SP. localhost# sp add mount -r <NFS-server-IP-address>:/mnt/nsv -l /mnt Step 4. Confirm that the remote file system is mounted. localhost# sp get mounts Step 5. You can now run the diags commands from the service processor to run diagnostics on the platform.
