sharectl(1M) System Administration Commands sharectl(1M)
NAME
sharectl - configure and manage file sharing service
SYNOPSIS
sharectl [-h]
sharectl status [-h] [protocol]
sharectl get [-h] [-p property]... protocol
sharectl set [-h] [-p property=value]... protocol
DESCRIPTION
The sharectl command operates on file-sharing protocols, such as NFS. The command sets the client and server operational properties, takes
and restores configuration snapshots, and gets status of the protocol service.
The get and set subcommands (see below) require root privileges or that you assume the Primary Administrator role. A non-privileged user
can change the Solaris CIFS client's persistent settings when granted the SMBFS Management rights profile in the /etc/user_attr file. See
user_attr(4) and rbac(5). An authorized user can use sharectl to set global values for Solaris CIFS server properties in the Solaris server
management facility. See smb(4).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-h
Displays usage message.
-p property[=value]
Specifies a property. See "Subcommands," below.
Subcommands
sharectl supports the subcommands described below. The form of a sharectl command is:
# sharectl subcommand [option]
get [-p property] protocol
Get the property values for the specified protocol. If no -p option is provided, get all the properties for the specified protocol. For
NFS, properties correspond to entries in the /etc/default/nfs file. See nfs(4).
set [-p property=value]... protocol
Set properties for the specified file sharing protocol.
status [protocol]
Display status of the specified protocol, or, if no protocol is specified, of all file-sharing protocols.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Setting a Property
The following command sets the minimum version of the server NFS protocol to version 3.
% sharectl -p server_versmin=3 nfs
Example 2 Getting Properties
The following command gets the properties for the NFS protocol.
% sharectl get nfs
lockd_listen_backlog=32
lockd_servers=20
lockd_retransmit_timeout=5
grace_period=90
nfsmapid_domain=sun.com
servers=16
server_versmin=2
server_versmax=4
max_connections=-1
The following command gets the value of the grace_period property for the NFS protocol.
% sharectl get -p grace_period nfs
grace_period=90
Example 3 Obtaining Status
The following command obtains the status of all file-sharing protocols on a system.
% sharectl status
nfs enabled
Example 4 Configuring Global Settings
The following command shows how an authorized user can use sharectl commands to configure global settings for the ex.com environment in the
service management facility (SMF). See nsmbrc(4) for a description of the example environment, ex.com. See smf(5) for a description of the
SMF.
# sharectl set -p section=default -p workgroup=SALES
-p timeout=5 smbfs
# sharectl set -p section=FSERVER -p addr=fserv.ex.com smbfs
# sharectl set -p section=RSERVER -p workgroup=REMGROUP
-p addr=rserv.ex.com smbfs
# sharectl set -p section=RSERVER:george -p timeout=30 smbfs
# sharectl set -p section="SSERV:*:POKY" -p addr=sserv.ex.com
-p timeout=25 smbfs
Example 5 Displaying Current Settings
The following command shows how an authorized user can use the sharectl get command to view the global settings for smbfs in the SMF. The
values shown are those set by the previous example.
% # sharectl get smbfs
[default]
workgroup=SALES
timeout=5
[FSERVER]
addr=fserv.ex.com
[RSERVER]
workgroup=REMGROUP
addr=rserv.ex.com
[RSERVER:george]
timeout=30
[SSERV:*:POKY]
addr=sserv.ex.com
timeout=25
