If you bought the Oracle ZFS Storage 7320 for their intended purpose
you may want to be careful in what you want to do since they have a
really stripped down version of S11.x. This is a very integrated
appliance so if you have a service contract, I would check first.<br>

We purchased two Oracle ZFS 7320 servers recently. To my
surprise, these systems are designed to be closed and not meant
for general shell-level interaction. For example, / is mounted
read-only -- but because it's a ZFS filesystem, that flag is
easily overridden.<br>
<br>
I wanted to install some basic command-line utilities for use
here. Turns out, Oracle doesn't include some basic /usr/bin
commands like "vi" and "rsync". <br>
<br>
The solution, I thought, was to simply create multiple ZFS volumes
to allow for:<br>
<br>
/opt/csw<br>
/etc/opt/csw<br>
/var/opt/csw<br>
<br>
turns out, it's not that easy as pkg installation needs to write
and interact with /var/sadm (and other locations), which is making
this impractical to accomplish.<br>
<br>
There is a C compiler on the system in /etc/sfw/bin/gcc, but in my
case where I need "rsync" the stock /usr/bin/grep command isn't
sufficient to complete a ./configure: "checking for grep that
handles long lines and -e"<br>
<br>
So I'm working against a design that is intended to be closed. I
just need to be able to get some basic stuff on there. Since I
need "rsync", I thought I could take one compiled from Solaris 10
-- but the shared libs are missing, so that won't work.<br>
<br>
Anyone know how I can effect a static compile of rsync for Oracle
Solaris 11 :-)<br>
<br>
I'm also curious if anyone else has run into this issue with these
systems. We use rsync pretty frequently for some internal stuff,
so I really need to find a way to get it there.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
