Files Created at Installation

The following miscellaneous files are created when the software is installed:

/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/inquiry.conf

Vendor and product identification strings for recognized SCSI devices (only when SAM-QFS packages are installed)

/etc/sysevent/config/SUNW,SUNWsamfs,sysevent.conf

Oracle Solaris system event handler configuration file

/kernel/drv/amd64/samaio

/kernel/drv/amd64/samst

SAM-QFS driver for SCSI media changers and optical drives for tape drives (64-bit version for x64 platforms)

/kernel/drv/samaio.conf

Configuration file for samaio

/kernel/drv/samioc.conf

Configuration file for the samioc module

/kernel/drv/samst.conf

Configuration file for the samst driver

/kernel/drv/sparcv9/samaio

File system asynchronous I/O pseudo-driver (64-bit version for SPARC platforms)

/kernel/drv/sparcv9/samioc

Oracle Solaris 64-bit file system interface module (for SPARC platforms)

/kernel/drv/sparcv9/samst

/var/log/webconsole/host.conf

SAM-QFS Manager configuration file

/var/opt/SUNWsamfs/faults

Faults history file

/var/sadm/samqfsui/fsmgr_uninstall

Software for removing SAM-QFS Manager and its supporting applications

/opt/SUNWsamfs/sc/etc/SUNW.qfs

Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration file created only in the presence of Oracle Solaris Cluster software

/usr/cluster/lib/rgm/rtreg/SUNW.qfs

Oracle Solaris Cluster configuration file created only in the presence of Oracle Solaris Cluster software

The file system has dynamically loadable components that are stored in the Oracle Solaris /kernel directory. Use the modinfo command to determine which modules are loaded. Typically, the kernel loads the file system module at boot time. Alternatively, you can load the file system module when the file system is first mounted after the software is installed.

Fault Notification Files

After the software is installed, it creates files to use for fault notification. When the software detects faults serious enough to merit user attention, the software uses these trap and log files to convey fault information through the SAM-QFS Manager software. The files are as follows:

/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/scripts/sendtrap

Sends trap information

/opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/fault_log

Records faults

/opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/tapealert_log

Records tapealert faults (only when SAM-QFS packages are installed)

/opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/tapealert_trap

Sends tapealert traps (only when SAM-QFS packages are installed)

The software creates these files with 750 permissions.


Caution

Caution - Do not change these file permissions.

If execute permissions are lost, for example, the system writes messages such as the following to /var/adm/messages:

SUNW,SUNWsamfs,sysevent.conf, line1: no execute access to 
/opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/tapealert_trap - No such file or directory.

Site Files

The configuration procedures in this document direct you to create several site-specific files.


Note - Your site's configuration files must contain ASCII characters only.


You must create the master configuration file, mcf, at your site to use the SAM-QFS software. For more information about the /etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/mcf file, see Chapter 2, About the Master Configuration File, in Sun QFS File System 5.3 Configuration and Administration Guide and mcf(4) in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Reference Manual.

If you are only using file system features, create only the first two files. If you are using the archiver and file system features, create all of the following files.

/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/samfs.cmd

File system mount parameter command file (see samfs.cmd(4) in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Reference Manual)

/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/defaults.conf

Miscellaneous default values (see defaults.conf(4) in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Reference Manual)

/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/archiver.cmd

Archiver command file (see Chapter 10, Configuring the Archiver, in Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Configuration and Administration Guideand archiver.cmd(4) in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Reference Manual)

/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/preview.cmd

Previewer command file (see Chapter 15, Configuring the Stager, in Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Configuration and Administration Guide and preview.cmd(4) in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Reference Manual)

/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/recycler.cmd

Recycler command file (see Chapter 16, Configuring the Recycler, in Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Configuration and Administration Guide and recycler.cmd(4) in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Reference Manual)

/etc/opt/SUNWsamfs/releaser.cmd

Releaser command file (see Chapter 14, About Releasing, in Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Configuration and Administration Guide and releaser.cmd(4) in Sun QFS and Sun Storage Archive Manager 5.3 Reference Manual.

Modified System Files

During installation, the software adds information to certain Oracle Solaris system files. The Oracle Solaris OS uses these ASCII text files to identify loadable kernel modules by number rather than by name.
