Install and configure Apple Time Machine service on Solaris

I installed Netatalk on Solaris to backup my Macs, it works perfectly!

Here is the steps,

1. install bdb, this is needed by netatalk

cd build_unix
../dist/configure
make
make install

2. install nettalk by running configure, make, make install

3. prepare disk. create the filesystem in ZFS and mount

zfs create -o mountpoint=/sp/timemachine sp/timemachine
zfs create -o mountpoint=/sp/timemachine/yang sp/timemachine/yang

4. configure Netatalk: afp.conf

; Netatalk 3.x configuration file
 
[Global]
hostname = Solar
mimic model = RackMac
 
; [Homes]
 
; [My AFP Volume]
 
[yang]
path = /sp/timemachine/yang
valid users = yang
time machine = yes

5. enable service

svcadm enable multicast
svcadm enable svc:/system/avahi-bridge-dsd:default
svcadm enable netatalk

Import ZFS storage pool

I had one ZFS storage pool (mirror) on my old home server, which hosts my all photos, code, and some movies. I recently bought a new HP Gen8 Microserver, installed Solaris 11 on it, now I need to import the ZFS pool to my new Gen8 server.

The first thing is simply, just remove the disks from the old server, and attach them to the Gen8, then in Solaris on Gen 8:

1. Check the current zfs storage by using zfs list

root@solar:/# zfs list
NAME                              USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
rpool                            9.99G   106G  4.64M  /rpool
rpool/ROOT                       2.78G   106G    31K  legacy
rpool/ROOT/solaris               2.78G   106G  2.47G  /
rpool/ROOT/solaris/var            309M   106G   307M  /var
rpool/VARSHARE                   2.53M   106G  2.44M  /var/share
rpool/VARSHARE/pkg                 63K   106G    32K  /var/share/pkg
rpool/VARSHARE/pkg/repositories    31K   106G    31K  /var/share/pkg/repositories
rpool/VARSHARE/zones               31K   106G    31K  /system/zones
rpool/dump                       5.14G   106G  4.98G  -
rpool/export                       98K   106G    32K  /export
rpool/export/home                  66K   106G    32K  /export/home
rpool/export/home/yang             34K   106G    34K  /export/home/yang
rpool/swap                       2.06G   106G  2.00G  -

2. list all ZFS storage pool which can be imported by using zpool import without any pool name

root@solar:/# zpool import
  pool: sp
    id: 4536828612121004016
 state: ONLINE
status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk version.
action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier, though
        some features will not be available without an explicit 'zpool upgrade'.
config:
 
        sp          ONLINE
          mirror-0  ONLINE
            c3t0d0  ONLINE
            c3t1d0  ONLINE

Here we can see a ZFS pool named ‘sp’ can be imported. It is a RAID 1 pool (mirror).

3. before importing, create folder to mount the pool which will be imported

root@solar:/# mkdir /sp

4. import the pool by using zpool import #POOL_NAME

root@solar:/# zpool import sp

5. check the imported pool and ZFS

root@solar:/sp/important/photo/All# zpool list
NAME    SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CAP  DEDUP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
rpool   118G  9.77G   108G   8%  1.00x  ONLINE  -
sp     2.72T   284G  2.44T  10%  1.00x  ONLINE  -
 
 
root@solar:/sp/important/photo/All# zfs list
NAME                              USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
...
sp                                284G  2.40T   152K  /sp
sp/important                      284G  2.40T   168K  /sp/important
sp/important/code                63.3G  2.40T  63.3G  /sp/important/code
sp/important/movie               31.4G  2.40T  31.4G  /sp/important/movie
sp/important/photo                190G  2.40T   190G  /sp/important/photo

Enable SMB share on Solaris 11

# 1. enable smb share
zfs set share=name=iMovie,path=/sp/important/movie,prot=smb sp/important/movie
zfs set sharesmb=on sp/important/movie
 
# 2. start server
# svcadm enable network/smb/server
# svcadm enable network/smb/client
 
svcadm enable -r smb/server
 
# 3. enable user
smbadm enable-user user1
 
# 4. vi /etc/pam.d/other
password required       pam_smb_passwd.so.1 nowarn
 
# 5. change password for user1
passwd user1
