The recommended method for transferring files is tar (using the T option) -- the TX tar has been specially coded to understand TS8 tar T files.
Given that they're both CIPSO you can ftp the tar T file. There are recent TS8 tar patches, you'll want to get those. The file systems are different, so I'd be surprised if nfs works in a usable way for you. I suppose if there are directions for mounting nfsv3 on TX, and if there are directions for exporting TS8 filesystems to Solaris systems, you might be able to find a way, but it's not tested because tar is the designed method for transferring files from TS8 to TX. You'd have to keep un-exporting and re-exporting the file system at each different label. TX has no forced or allowed privs on files, the filesystems are regular Solaris file systems and zones, not specially-coded TSOL file systems like TS8. >Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2007 06:52:16 -0700 (PDT) >From: Kelley Shaw <kshaw at cdsinc.com> >Subject: [security-discuss] TX system as NFS client to TSOL8 >To: security-discuss at opensolaris.org >Delivered-to: security-discuss at opensolaris.org >X-Original-To: security-discuss at opensolaris.org >X-OpenSolaris-URL: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=113145&tstart=0#113145 >List-Unsubscribe: <http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/security-discuss>, <mailto:security-discuss-request at opensolaris.org?subject=unsubscribe> >List-Id: OpenSolaris Security Discussions <security-discuss.opensolaris.org> > >I am attempting to transfer user files from a TSOL8 system to a newly >installed TX system. I was hoping I could use NFS to make this process easier. The TSOL8 system is in the cipso security family and so is the TX system. My hope was that I could mount /export/home from the TSOL8 system onto a temporary mountpoint and then 'cp' the files to the appropriate places. Honestly, I've tried so many different combinations of things at this point that I can't even remember them all, but I'll just throw this out as a "can I do this?" question. I've heard that only NFS v4 is supported by TX, which obviously the TSOL8 system can't support. Do I need to perform a "mount" command within each zone? If so, do I need any special options on the mount command? Should I be "root" when performing the mount? > > >This message posted from opensolaris.org >_______________________________________________ >security-discuss mailing list >security-discuss at opensolaris.org
