Goal


How to use NFS or SAMBA server as attached host storage device for ILOM remote KVMs


Solution


The ILOM supports virtual storage image mounted on a remote NFS or SAMBA server as an attached host storage device.The procedure is officially documented in the ILOM Adminstrator's Guide for Configuration and Maintenance Firmware Release 3.2.x .


Mount a remote iso image using NFS folder


Example




-> set /SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device/remote/ server_URI=nfs://192.168.0.101:/home/OS_image/sol-11_2-42-text-sparc.iso
Set 'server_URI' to 'nfs://192.168.0.101:/home/OS_image/sol-11_2-42-text-sparc.iso'


-> show /SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device/remote/


/SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device/remote
Targets:


Properties:
password = *****
server_URI = nfs://192.168.0.101:/home/OS_image/sol-11_2-42-text-sparc.iso
username = (none)


Commands:
cd
show


-> show /SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device/


/SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device
Targets:
remote


Properties:
mode = remote
status = operational <--


-> start /SP/console
Are you sure you want to start /SP/console (y/n)? y


Serial console started. To stop, type #.


root@T5-2:~# ls /cdrom
cdrom1 oracle_solaris-11_2-text-sparc




 


Mount a remote iso image using SAMBA/SMB folder


Some things to take note when using Samba:
- username/password is required (NFS doesn't require username/password but SMB does)
- when using SAMBA server the shared directory must be defined in /etc/samba/smb.conf. In the following example the SAMBA/SMB shared directory is /myfolder.


Example




-> set /SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device/remote/ server_URI=smb://192.168.0.101:/myfolder/user1/sol-11_2-42-text-sparc.iso
Set 'server_URI' to 'smb://192.168.0.101:/myfolder/user1/sol-11_2-42-text-sparc.iso'


-> show


/SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device/remote
Targets:


Properties:
password = *****
server_URI = smb://192.168.0.101/myfolder/user1/sol-11_2-42-text-sparc.iso
username = user1


Commands:
cd
show


-> cd ..
/SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device


-> show


/SP/services/kvms/host_storage_device
Targets:
remote


Properties:
mode = remote
status = operational


Commands:
cd
show
