The ILB CLI is located in the /usr/sbin/ilbadm directory. The CLI includes subcommands to configure load-balancing rules, server groups, and health checks. It also includes subcommands to display statistics as well as view configuration details. You must set up user authorization for ILB configuration subcommands except for the view subcommands, such as ilbadm show-rule, ilbadm show-server, and ilbadm show-healthcheck. You must have the solaris.network.ilb.config RBAC authorization to execute the ILB configuration subcommands.
To find out how to assign the authorization to an existing user, see Chapter 3, Assigning Rights in Oracle Solaris in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
You can also provide the authorization when creating a new user account on the system.
The following example creates a user ilbadm with group ID 10, user ID 1210, and with the authorization to administer ILB in the system.
# useradd -g 10 -u 1210 -A solaris.network.ilb.config ilbadmin
The useradd command adds a new user to the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/user_attr files. The -A option assigns the authorization to the user.
The subcommands can be divided into two categories:
Configuration subcommands – These subcommands enable you to perform the following tasks:
Create and delete load-balancing rules
Enable and disable load-balancing rules
Create and delete server groups
Add and remove servers from a server group
Enable and disable back-end servers
Create and delete server health checks for a server group within a load-balancing rule
View subcommands – These subcommands enable you to perform the following tasks:
View configured load-balancing rules, server groups, and health checks
View packet forwarding statistics
View the NAT connection table
View health check results
View the session persistence mapping table
