Subject: 2007/393 converting /etc/default/{nfs,autofs} to SMF properties
...
The current NFS properties are:
NFSD_MAX_CONNECTIONS=<int>, default unlimited
NFSD_LISTEN_BACKLOG=<int>, default 32
NFSD_PROTOCOL=<string>, default ALL, can't be set with NFSD_DEVICE
NFSD_DEVICE=<string>, default not set, can't be set with NFSD_PROTOCOL
NFSD_SERVERS=<int>, default 16
LOCKD_LISTEN_BACKLOG=<int>, default 32
LOCKD_SERVERS=<int>, default 20
LOCKD_RETRANSMIT_TIMEOUT=<int>, default 5
GRACE_PERIOD=<int>, default 90
LOCKD_GRACE_PERIOD=<int>, default 90 (deprecated)
NFS_SERVER_VERSMIN=<enum {2,3,4}>, default 2
NFS_SERVER_VERSMAX=<enum {2,3,4}>, default 4
NFS_CLIENT_VERSMIN=<enum {2,3,4}>, default 2
NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX=<enum {2,3,4}>, default 4
NFS_SERVER_DELEGATION=<enum {on,off}>, default on
NFSMAPID_DOMAIN=<string>, default none
These should be split up and mapped as follows:
svc:/network/nfs/server properties:
Setting Property
NFSD_MAX_CONNECTIONS application/max_connections astring ""
NFSD_LISTEN_BACKLOG application/listen_backlog astring 32
NFSD_PROTOCOL application/listen_protocol astring ALL
NFSD_DEVICE application/listen_device astring ""
NFSD_SERVERS application/num_servers astring 16
NFS_SERVER_VERSMIN application/min_version astring 2
NFS_SERVER_VERSMAX application/max_version astring 4
NFS_SERVER_DELEGATION application/delegation astring on
svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr properties:
LOCKD_LISTEN_BACKLOG application/listen_backlog astring 32
LOCKD_SERVERS application/num_servers astring 20
LOCKD_RETRANSMIT_TIMEOUT application/retransmit_timeout astring 5
GRACE_PERIOD application/grace_period astring 90
Note: if a customer has set LOCKD_GRACE_PERIOD and not GRACE_PERIOD,
application/grace_period will take its value; the intent is to fold
these into one SMF setting to reduce confusion.
svc:/network/nfs/client properties:
NFS_CLIENT_VERSMIN application/min_version astring 2
NFS_CLIENT_VERSMAX application/max_version astring 4
svc:/network/nfs/mapid properties:
NFSMAPID_DOMAIN application/domain astring ""
... and so on for the autofs properties.
Perhaps I missed something along the way about how SMF properties are
used in practice. But why are the properties above all represented as
astrings when SMF supplies more precise types such as integers and
booleans that, presumably, are more appropriate for many of them?
