To Configure a BE 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. Add the cluster to the path:

   PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/cluster/bin:$PATH

   Also, add the cluster to the path in the /.cshrc file for root:

   set path=( /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/ccs/bin /usr/cluster/bin $path )

6. Create additional metadbs with the following command:

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

7. Create mirrors of /globaldevices and /var/crash. This requires several commands, some of which depend on which node of the cluster the server belongs to.

   1. Unmount the file systems with the following commands:

      • On all servers regardless of cluster node:

        umount /globaldevices umount /var/crash newfs -v -i 1024 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s3 metainit -f d106 1 1 c1t2d0s0 metainit -f d206 1 1 c1t3d0s0 metainit -f d6 -m d106

      • On servers in cluster node 1:

        metainit -f d103 1 1 c1t0d0s3 metainit -f d203 1 1 c1t1d0s3 metainit -f d3 -m d103

      • On servers in cluster node 2:

        metainit -f d113 1 1 c1t0d0s3 metainit -f d213 1 1 c1t1d0s3 metainit -f d13 -m d113

   2. Then edit the /etc/vfstab file:

      • On all servers regardless of cluster node, comment out the entries for /globaldevices and /var/crash. Then add the following line:

        /dev/md/dsk/d6 /dev/md/rdsk/d6 /var/crash ufs 2 yes logging

      • On servers in cluster node 1, add the following line:

        /dev/md/dsk/d3 /dev/md/rdsk/d3 /globaldevices ufs 2

      • On servers in cluster node 2, add the following line:

        /dev/md/dsk/d13 /dev/md/rdsk/d13 /globaldevices ufs 2 yes logging

   3. Attach the submirrors with the following commands:

      • On all servers regardless of cluster node:

        mount /globaldevices mount /var/crash metattach d0 d200 metattach d6 d206

      • On servers in cluster node 1:

        metattach d3 d203

      • On servers in cluster node 2:

        metattach d13 d213
