OpenVPN en Solaris 11 x86

Como Instalar OpenVPN en OpenSolaris x86 b79 32/64 bits

Este es el proceso empleado para instalar openvpn en
Solaris 11.

Primero debemos instalar las dependencias:

gcc
binutils
gnupg
libgcrypt
libiconv

Estas dependencias se deben Instalar con OpenSolaris Corriendo 64bits,
y utilizando el Package Manager de OpenSolaris, luego de Instalar modificar el grub para
hacer boot con 32bits:

#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ----------
title OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101b_rc2 X86 32bits
findroot (pool_rpool,3,a)

#---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------

Luego hacer un Reboot.

$> sync; reboot

Descargar las fuentes de tun/tap y openvpn y algunos
comandos de tun para verificación.

http://vtun.sourceforge.net/tun/tun-1.1.tar.gz

http://openvpn.net/index.php/downloads.html

http://www.whiteboard.ne.jp/~admin2/tuntap/
source/tunctl/tunctl.tar.gz

Compilar  e instalar tuntap.

# gzcat tun-1.1.tar.gz | tar xvf –

# cd tun-1.1

Adicionar al archivo “Solaris/Makefile” en parámetro
“-m64” en la variable CFLAGS, quedando de la siguiente forma:

  CFLAGS = $(DEFS) -m64 -O2 -Wall -D_KERNEL -I.

 
Configurar y Compilar:

# ./configure

# make 

 
Probar el make install, si obtiene algun error como este: 

   /usr/sbin/rem_drv tun >/dev/null 2>&1

   /usr/sbin/rem_drv tap >/dev/null 2>&1

   *** Error code 1 (ignored)

   /usr/sbin/add_drv tun   

   /usr/sbin/add_drv tap

 
Hacer la instalacion manual: 

# cd solaris

# cp tun /kernel/drv

# cp tun.conf /kernel/drv

 
Configurar tun.

# devfsadm –i tun

Verificar el funcionamiento de tun.

Ejemplo)

Crear la interfaz tap0 

   # /usr/local/bin/tunctl -t tap0

   Set 'tap0' persistent

   #

Borrar la interfaz tap0 

   # /usr/local/bin/tunctl -d tap0

Instalar LZO para compresion en Tiempo Real:

# wget http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/lzo-2.03.tar.gz

# gzcat lzo-2.03.tar.gz | tar xvf lzo-2.03.tar.gz

# gzcat lzo-2.03.tar.gz | tar xvf -

# cd lzo-2.03

# ./configure

# make

# make install

Instalar OpenVPN.

wget http://openvpn.net/release/openvpn-2.0.9.tar.gz

# gzcat openvpn-2.0.9.tar.gz | tar xvf –

# cd openvpn-2.0.9

##### ./configure --disable-lzo  # Para deshabilitar compresion de lzo

# ./configure --with-lzo-lib=/usr/local/lib

# make

# make install

Ahora podemos dar un reboot al servidor y verificar
que el tun sube correctamente.

dev tun

proto udp

remote x.x.x.x 1194

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

# Las dos siguientes opciones no van en windows

user nobody

group nobody

persist-key

persist-tun

ca ca.crt

cert marco.crt

key marco.key

# comp-lzo

verb 4

Tener encuenta que esta configuración utiliza certificados digitales,
para lo cual debes haberlos creado con anterioridad.

Y finalmente un script de inicio rapido:

# vi /etc/init.d/vpn

Y adicionar acorde donde tengas alojados los certificados digitales.

nohup openvpn --config /export/home/marco/.openvpn/marco.conf &

Solaris ZFS

1. Crear un pool zfs:

zpool create -f storage0 c2t600A0B800011EF78000057824630B63Fd0s2

2. Chequear que el pool sea creado correctamente:

zpool list

3. Crear dos file system:

zfs create storage0/OraIndices
zfs create storage0/OraDatos

4. Verificar que los file system estan creados y montados correctamente.

zfs list

5. Cambiar los puntos de montura acorde a la necesidades.

zfs set mountpoint=/OraDatos storage0/OraDatos
zfs set mountpoint=/OraIndices storage0/OraIndices

6. Fijar un tamaño al file system.

zfs set quota=20g /OraDatos
zfs set quota=50g /OraDatos

7. Validar el performance:

zpool iostat -v
