You should post it in general

Connect your device and restart the volume manager (/etc/init.d/volmgt stop; /etc/init.d/volmgt start).

The filesystem should show up in /rmdisk/unnamed (or under a specific name if found).

With recent Solaris versions, USB devices mounted automatically when plugged.

Before removing a device, you need to run the command "eject unnamed" to flush the caches and have the device unmounted properly.

Hi jilliagre !
Thanks. Its working now . But some usb devices create problem when connected and some times it take time to show its file system.
This all works with root login. I mean when user try to stop or start volume manager he didnt do it. what should i do that user only stop and start this volume manager just to copy there data to usb.
Also can anyone tell me how i can change my login name here . Like its sajidmumtaz i want to change it . coz there is no option in profile like that.
thanks.
Regards.

That is a Solaris 9 limitation, latest Solaris distributions hot mount USB devices.
Simply replace occurences of your name in the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group files.

Hi !
Can i write some script for that or i can use some chmod to give right of volume manager on of to specific group of user. how it will be possible.

Second i want to change my login name of this site i mean i want to change sajidmumtaz name when i login to www.linuxquestions.org.

Regards.

You can use RBAC or sudo for that.

So this is unrelated to Solaris, better looking in/asking to the right forum:

Hi !
how can i configure SUDO for specific group i.e sungroup so that they can stop and start volume manager and then use the command cd /rmdisk.
Regards.

hi
I have configure RBAC but i m not sure to add role for specific Scenario i.e A specific group can start and stop volume manager and user cd /rmdisk command to use there usbs.
Plz help.
Sajid.

Please post your RBAC settings.

hi !
i just did it using SMC and i dont remeber it much i just add user and assign memory manager role to it. I think that was wrong thing. I m trying to Install and configure SUDO. I download SUDO 1.6.8 and install it with package add command n its located at /usr/local/sudo but there are no configure or install or compiling option in it. i m very much confused.
As i just told u a specific group can start and stop volume manager and user cd /rmdisk command to use there usbs.
Help me in this.
Regards.

I stopped using sudo a long time ago, so I can't help you if you want to go that way. Using RBAC is anyway simple, you just need to edit three files.

/etc/security/exec_attr, add
/etc/security/prof_attr, add
/etc/user_attr, add
Then, when logged-in as sajidmumtaz, you can restart vold with these commands:

hi !
thanks for your help jlliagre. I also did some setting using these files i will post these settings later.
what if i have to give access to specific group for the same command.
Regards.

Duplicating the user_attr line I posted for each user belonging to the authorized group will do what you want.
