I am trying to deploy a solaris 5.11 snv_89 i386 ZFS/CIFS test file server. I have used various blogs, the Sun Solaris CIFS Administration Guide, and the opensolaris CIFS service documentation site for help and have finally been able to deploy a rudimentary server with a Windows share and an NFS share. We have a multi-platform site with Active Directory domain controllers for Windows clients and Sun NIS service for our Unix clients. I have used the more simple "rule-based mapping" idmap config to enable this server to authenticate and share to either client.
The above simply shows that I have put some effort into this - however, there is still a lot to do in order to make this service look exactly like our existing Windows and Unix file servers. I am hoping to find someone who has actually deployed this in a real-time user environment and might be willing to share some of their expertise. I have been unable to get any such references from Sun so far and have been advised to try this site. I am doing this work for a project in which we hope to deploy one or more SunFire X4500's to provide transparent file service by/before the end of this year. thanks, John.
