Is it possible to mount CIFS onto Solaris 10 server

  • 772

I want to mount a SAN CIFS share on a solaris 10 u11 server.

I found and info doc from Oracle saying its not supported until Solaris 11.

Are there any 3rd party / Freeware tools for Solaris 10 that will enable the mounting of a CIFS share on Solaris 10 ?

    smbfs/cifs is not supported on Solaris 10. however, you can use smbclient to access the share from Solaris 10 (this is what we do), with something like :

    /usr/sfw/bin/smbclient -m SMB2 -W DOMAIN -U USER%PASSWORD //HOST.DOMAIN/Yoursharename

    you can also pass commands to it, with e.g:

    /usr/sfw/bin/smbclient -m SMB2 -W DOMAIN -U USER%PASSWORD //HOST.DOMAIN/Yoursharename -c 'cd /folder; dir; exit;'

    hope that helps regards,
