To Configure a FE or Backup Server After Jump-Start

Steps

1. Edit the prompt in the /.profile for root:

   PS1="`tput bold``/usr/ucb/whoami`@`uname -n`:#`tput sgr0` "

2. Restore the contents of /var/bits with the following commands:

   # cd /var # gzcat bits/bits.tar.gz | tar xf -

3. Change ownership of home directories with the following commands:

   # cd /home # for I in `ls` > do > chown $I $I > done # cd /

4. Once the system is on the corporate network, edit /etc/passwd and /etc/user_attr to put root back as a role.

5. Create an additional metadb with the following command:

   metadb -a -c 3 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7

6. Attach the roots mirror:

   metattach d0 d200

7. Set up NTP using appropriate NTP server for FE/Domain1 nodes.

8. Set up DNS using appropriate DNS servers for FE/Domain1 nodes.

9. Do a preliminary sendmail configuration using MODE="" and stopping then restarting sendmail. You will need to re-verify this once the FE/Domain1 nodes are fully configured to be sure that root and cron mail is being delivered properly.

10. Remove the metacheck entry from the cron table, or else put in place a valid metacheck script.

11. Fix the holidays files on all nodes in the /etc/acct/holidays file to be accurate for the current year.
