NAME

sharectl — configure and manage file sharing services

SYNOPSIS

sharectl subcommand [-h]

sharectl delsect section protocol

sharectl get [-p property]... protocol

sharectl set {-p property=value}... protocol

sharectl status [protocol]

DESCRIPTION

The sharectl command operates on file sharing services. The command sets the client and server operational properties, takes and restores configuration snapshots, and gets status of the protocol service. Currently supported services are autofs(5), nfs(5), smb(5) and smbfs.

The set subcommand requires root privileges or that you assume the Primary Administrator role.

A non-privileged user can change the persistent settings when granted required authorizations, see appropriate sharing protocol man page.

Options

The following options are supported where applicable:

-h: Displays usage message. Supported for all subcommands.
-p property[=value]: Specifies a property. See Subcommands, below.

Subcommands

sharectl supports the subcommands described below:

sharectl delsect section protocol: Delete configuration section for the specified protocol. Currently only protocol that has configuration sections is smbfs (see nsmbrc(5) and EXAMPLES).
sharectl 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(5).
sharectl set {-p property=value}... protocol: Set properties for the specified file sharing protocol.
sharectl 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=256
lockd_retransmit_timeout=5
grace_period=90
nfsmapid_domain=example.com
servers=1024
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 example.com environment in the service management facility (SMF). See nsmbrc(5) for a description of the example environment, example.com. See smf(7) 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.example.com smbfs
# sharectl set -p section=RSERVER -p workgroup=REMGROUP \
  -p addr=rserv.example.com smbfs
# sharectl set -p section=RSERVER:george -p timeout=30 smbfs
# sharectl set -p section="SSERV:*:POKY" -p addr=sserv.example.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.example.com
[RSERVER]
workgroup=REMGROUP
addr=rserv.example.com
[RSERVER:george]
timeout=30
[SSERV:*:POKY]
addr=sserv.example.com
timeout=25
