The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 10 SP2 - z/VM - IBM

# vi linux03.conf
// ... modify IPADDR and HOSTNAME variables
► Clone a basic virtual server. In this example the user ID LINUX03 is used.
# clone -v rh6gold linux03
Invoking CP command: QUERY rh6gold
Invoking CP command: QUERY linux03
This will copy disks from rh6gold to linux03
Host name will be: 6.endicott.ibm.com
IP address will be: 9.60.18.224
Do you want to continue? (y/n): y
...
► When the new system comes up, start an SSH session to the new virtual server.
11.3.2 Installing necessary RPMs
Add the following RPMs with the yum -y command:
# yum -y install samba
...
Installed:
samba.s390x 0:3.5.4-68.el6
Confirm that the RPMs were added:
# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-common-3.0.28-0.el5.8
samba-client-3.0.28-0.el5.8
samba-3.0.28-0.el5.8
samba-common-3.0.28-0.el5.8
11.3.3 Configuring Samba configuration file
The one configuration file for Samba is /etc/samba/smb.conf. It is easy to add an SMB share
that will be made available by the Samba server. A good test directory is /usr/share/doc/ as
it has much good Linux documentation. The following example will create a file share named
sharedoc:
# cd /etc/samba
# cp smb.conf smb.conf.orig
# vi smb.conf // add three lines at the bottom of the file:
...
[sharedoc]
comment = RHEL 6 on System z documentation
path = /usr/share/doc/
You can verify the syntax of your changes with the testparm command:
# testparm smb.conf
Load smb config files from smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[sharedoc]"
Loaded services file OK.
