1. Gathering Solaris configuration info.
Keywords: configuration, utility, snap.
I have recently inherited support for dozens Sun SPARC (and HP-9000)
servers. I would like to quickly log to each system, and run a canned
set of commands to obtain key configuration information, such as the
items I describe below.
I can string together the necessary Solaris specific commands to
get the info, but would like to know if there is a single command
(or two), that invokes a script (presumably) to capture all of the
data. If you are familiar with the RS/6000 (AIX) environment, the
"snap" script gathers such information by invoking the necessary AIX
commands and placing the output in a file, or removable media
(a.k.a. "tape"). BTW, most systems are at Solaris 2.4 or greater,
but if such a tool is available for SunOS as well (4.1.4), so much the better.
Here is the basic config info I would to gather with a simple HP-UX
provided tool:
- installed system configuration, including RAM
memory, cards, disks, other peripherals, etc.
- The boot disk(s) configuration.
- The kernel config parameters.
- system software levels.
- gather logs of operational diagnostics, such
as recent recoverable read/write errors
- configuration of the disks, from physical volumes
to disk partitions, configuartion of disk managers such
as Disk Suite or VxVM (if used), space used within the
file systems, etc.
- a recursive "ls -lR /" to obtain a directory list
of the complete file system.
- the "inittab", and active "cron" lists, (the /etc/rc.* files), etc.
- the network configuration, and "netstat" command output.
- presence of other (non-TCP) protocols configured.
- process status, showing currently running dameons.
- configurations for NFS, DNS ("named or "/etc/resolv.conf"),
and other pertinent "/etc" config files.
- system performance and capacity information -- current or
historical if SAR or performance collector tools are active.
Thanks for your time,
JimV (keeping my fingers crossed).
