I just installed the latest Solaris Express Release into an VMware Virtual Machine. For the installation I used the "reduced network Cluster".
-bash-3.00$ cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER
CLUSTER=SUNWCrnet
To get the SSH Daemon working I used the following commands:
-bash-3.00# mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0 /mnt
-bash-3.00# cd /mnt/Solaris_11/Product/
-bash-3.00# pkgadd -d . SUNWgssc SUNWgss \
SUNWsshcu SUNWsshdr SUNWsshdu SUNWsshr SUNWsshu
-bash-3.00# ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
-bash-3.00# ssh-keygen -t dsa -f/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
-bash-3.00# svcadm enable network/ssh
-bash-3.00# svcs -xv network/ssh
svc:/network/ssh:default (SSH server)
State: online since Fri Aug 11 12:24:14 2006
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M sshd
See: /var/svc/log/network-ssh:default.log
Impact: None.
[Update:] To generate the SSH-Keys for sshd you could also use:
bash# /lib/svc/method/sshd -c
Afterwards I made some experiments with the included iSCSI Initiator. For the tests I used my existing Linux iSCSI Enterprise Target Installation. To configure the Solaris Initiator I used:
bash-3.00# iscsiadm modify discovery -t enable
bash-3.00# iscsiadm add discovery-address 192.168.74.1:3260
bash-3.00# iscsiadm list target
