Using webmin to administer your EON NAS

Using webmin to administer your EON ZFS NAS is fairly simple. You can get and learn more about webmin here. The Solaris package was used in this example setup.

After being downloaded. Note this step has to be run on a system that has a working pkgtrans.

pkgtrans webmin-1.450.pkg /tmp all

This converted the package from a data stream to file system format and produced the directory containing the package in file system format.
/tmp/WSwebmin

I then created the following directories on my zpool:

mkdir pool/webmin
mkdir pool/varwebmin

then I symlinked the following:

cd /etc ; ln -s ../abyss/webmin webmin
cd /var ; ln -s ../abyss/varwebmin webmin
cd /opt ; ln -s ../abyss/WSwebmin/reloc webmin
cd /var/log ; ln -s ../../abyss/bandwidth bandwidth

finally, cd /opt/webmin (this is only needed once)

cd /opt/webmin
./postinstall

and to start

cd /etc/webmin
./start

Here's quick capture of the session:
