Solaris 11 CheatSheet

Create an install service from a downloaded ISO file, specifying x86 based DHCP

client starting at address 192.168.1.210 with a total count of 10 addresses:
# installadm create-service -n s11x86 -i 192.168.1.210 -c 10 -s
/path/to/solaris-11-1111-ai-x86.iso




List all enabled services:
# installadm list




List any installation manifests associated with the install services:
# installadm list -m
Export the default installation manifest associated with the s11x86 service:
# installadm export -n s11x86 -m orig_default > manifest.xml
Import a manifest to be associated with the s11x86 service:
# installadm update-manifest -n s11x86 -m orig_default \

-f manifest.xml
List any system configuration profiles associated with the install services:
# installadm list -p
Create a system configuration profile interactively, saving the contents to a file:
# sysconfig create-profile -o profile.xml
Validate a system configuration profile against the default x86 install service:
# installadm validate -n default-i386 -P profile.xml
Associate a system configuration profile with the deafult x86 install service and
give it a name sc-profile:
# installadm create-profile -n default-i386 -f profile.xml \

-p sc-profile
Apply a criteria that all clients must have 4096MB memory or greater to the
manifest s11manifest of s11x86 service:
# installadm set-criteria -m s11manifest -n s11x86 \

-a MEM="4096-unbounded"Configuring nodename:
# svccfg –s svc:/system/identity:node setprop \

config/nodename = "myhost"

# svcadm refresh svc:/system/identity:node

# svcadm restart svc:/system/identity:node
Configuring console keyboard layout:
# svccfg –s keymap:default setprop keymap/layout = UK-English

# svcadm refresh keymap
# svcadm restart keymap




Configuring system locale:
# svccfg –s timezone:default setprop \

timezone/localtime = astring: US/Mountain
# svcadm refresh timezone:default




Unconfigure a system and start an interactive configuration tool on reboot:
# sysconfig configure -s
Create a system configuration profile:
# sysconfig create-profile -o sc-profile.xml
Configure a system according to a system configuration profile:
# sysconfig configure -c sc-profile.xml

# rolemod –K type=normal root
 Configure root as a role (default):
# usermod –K type=role root
 Add a new user and delegate him the System Adminstrator profile:
# useradd -d /export/home/joerg -P "System Administrator" joerg
