To Configure a FE-MTA 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 additional metadbs with the following command:

   metadb -a -c 3 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s7 /dev/dsk/c1t2d0s7 /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s7

6. Re-create the mirror of /queue with striped disks:

   1. Unmount it first with the following commands:

      umount /queue rm -r /queue mkdir /imta

   2. Set up slice3 on disks 3 & 4 using format with a start cylinder of 4226 and size of 3678 cylinders. The result should look like the following

      Total disk cylinders available: 14087 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 1 swap wu 0 - 4121 20.00GB (4122/0/0) 41945472 2 backup wm 0 - 14086 68.35GB (14087/0/0) 143349312 3 unassigned wm 4226 - 7903 17.85GB (3678/0/0) 37427328 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wm 4122 - 4225 516.75MB (104/0/0) 1058304

   3. Run the following command:

      metainit -f d103 1 2 c1t0d0s3 c1t1d0s3 -i 32b metainit -f d203 1 2 c1t2d0s3 c1t3d0s3 -i 32b metainit -f d3 -m d103 newfs -m 2 -i 4096 -o time /dev/md/rdsk/d3

   4. Edit the /etc/vfstab file. Comment out the following line:

      /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3 /queue ufs 2 yes logging

      Add the following line:

      /dev/md/dsk/d3 /dev/md/rdsk/d3 /imta ufs 2 yes logging

   5. Run the following command:

      mount /imta metattach d0 d200 metattach d3 d203

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.
