Running the Server Configuration Script

After you have installed RSC software on the server and decided how you want to configure RSC, run the configuration script:

# /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/rsc-config

The following prompts will appear on your screen. Some prompts may not appear, depending on choices you make. To respond to the prompts for Step 3 through Step 43, refer to the information you wrote down following the instructions in Chapter 2, Preparing to Install RSC Software.

Prompts relating to enabling the Ethernet port, serial port, and alerts include a skip (s) option. This option is useful only if you run the script again after initial configuration, to change selected options of the RSC configuration. When you choose skip when running the script after initial configuration, configuration for that option will not change. If you choose skip and that option has not been previously set, RSC uses the default setting (shown in brackets).

1. Continue with RSC setup (y|n):

   Enter y or yes to continue; enter n or no to abort configuration.

2. Set RSC date/time now (y|n|?) [y]:

   Entering y or yes sets RSC date and time to the server's date and time (recommended).

3. Server Hostname [server-name]:

4. Edit customer info field (y|n|?) [n]:

5. Customer Info (<= 8 char):

6. Enable RSC Ethernet Interface (y|n|s|?) [n]:

7. RSC IP Mode (config|dhcp|?) [dhcp]:

8. RSC IP Address:

9. RSC IP Netmask [255.255.255.0]:

10. RSC IP Gateway:

11. Enable RSC Alerts (y|n|s|?) [n]:

12. Enable Email Alerts (y|n) [n]:

13. SMTP Server's IP address:

14. Set Up Backup SMTP Server (y|n) [n]:

15. SMTP Backup Server's IP address:

16. Email address:

17. Enable Pager Alerts (y|n) [n]:

18. Pager 1 Number (#|?):

19. Pager 1 Modem Init String (<= 15 chars) [none]:

20. Pager 1 Account Password (<= 6 chars) [none]:

21. Pager 1 baud rate (300|1200|2400|4800|9600) [300]:

22. Pager 1 data bits (7|8) [7]:

23. Pager 1 parity (even|odd|none) [even]:

24. Pager 1 stop bits (1|2) [1]:

25. Set Up Pager 2 Number (y|n) [n]:

26. Pager 2 Number (#|?):

27. Pager 2 Modem Init String (<= 15 chars) [none]:

28. Pager 2 Account Password (<= 6 chars) [none]:

29. Pager 2 baud rate (300|1200|2400|4800|9600) [300]:

30. Pager 2 data bits (7|8) [7]:

31. Pager 2 parity (even|odd|none) [even]:

32. Pager 2 stop bits (1|2) [1]:

33. Enable RSC Modem Interface (y|n|s|?) [n]:

34. Enable PPP over modem (y|n) [n]:

35. PPP Local IP Address [dynamic]:

36. PPP Remote IP Address [dynamic]:

37. Serial port baud rate (9600|19200|38400|57600|115200) [9600]:

38. Serial port data bits (7|8) [8]:

39. Serial port parity (even|odd|none) [none]:

40. Serial port stop bits (1|2) [1]:

41. Set Up RSC User Account (y|n|?) [y]:

42. Username:

43. User Permissions (c,u,a,r|none|?) [cuar]:

    See Sun Remote System Control (RSC) User's Guide for a description of user permissions. Because this will be the only RSC user account until you add more accounts, you should choose the default, cuar.

Completing Server Configuration

Next, the configuration script displays a summary for each section of the procedure, and asks whether it is correct. For each section, respond y or yes to confirm your choices, or respond n or no to revisit that section of the configuration procedure.

When you have confirmed all sections, the configuration procedure updates the RSC flash PROM.

It takes a few minutes to update the RSC flash PROM. Do not interrupt this process by aborting the configuration procedure or removing system power. If the update is interrupted, you must restart the configuration script, and it must complete successfully, before RSC can function properly.

After setting up RSC as you specified, the configuration procedure prompts you for the password for the user account, if you chose to create a user account. Then it prompts you to repeat the password.

Finally, the procedure asks if you want to reset RSC. A reset is required before Ethernet configuration takes effect. This completes RSC server software configuration.
