sharemgr(1M) and sharectl(1M) Utilities

This system administration tools enhancement is new in the Developer 2/07 release.

Starting with this release, you can use two new utilities to manage file systems and file-sharing protocols:

• The sharemgr utility simplifies tasks related to sharing file systems. For example, when using sharemgr to share file systems, to set the property values for shared file systems, or perform related tasks, you do not need to use the share, shareall, or unshare utility. Additionally, you do not need to edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file.

• The sharectl utility enables you to configure and manage file-sharing protocols, for example, NFS. This utility enables you to set the client and server operational properties, display property values for a specific protocol, and obtain the status of a protocol.
