Is it possible to mount CIFS onto Solaris 10 server

Question

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 ?

if mounting cifs on solaris 11 isn't supported, why you think is supported on solaris 10? — c4f4t0r, Mar 06 '15 at 11:22
but i had been working with solaris 10 for some year and no cifs was there :) — c4f4t0r, Mar 06 '15 at 16:45
You can use NQ server at www.CIFS.com. However it is a commercial product. — Mark Rabinovich, Mar 07 '15 at 07:36

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,
