ssp_config(1M)

NAME

ssp_config- configure SSP or control boards

SYNOPSIS

ssp_config

DESCRIPTION

Note -

Do not use ssp_config to manually perform an SSP or control board failover. Instead, use the setfailover(1M) command to force a failover.

ssp_config sets up some SSP configuration files and provides tftpboot information for the control boards. It is automatically executed by the operating system startup scripts the first time the SSP is booted after the SSP software is installed. You can also execute it manually when logged in as root.

When executed by start-up scripts, ssp_config prompts for the name of the system (platform name), the name of the floating main SSP, number of control boards in the system, the name of control board 0, and the name of control board 1. It asks for the primary control board, and attempts to automatically determine the IP addresses of the control boards by using name services or local files. If it fails in this attempt, it prompts for them, too. The system will not fully initialize until ssp_config has the information it needs.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported:

cb: Change the control board setup in the cb_config(4) file. Executing ssp_config cb initiates a series of prompts that enable you to change which control board is considered the primary control board, or to swap, add or delete a control board. You cannot change the platform name.
float: Configure the IP address of the floating main SSP. You will be prompted for the name of the floating main SSP and its IP address.
