ProcedureTo Configure the OTP System Management Service on Another OTP Host

This procedure describes how to configure the OTP system management service on another OTP host within the clustered OTP system.

Before You Begin
  1. Log in as root to the OTP host you have chosen for OTP system management service database and configuration file restoration.

  2. Type n1smconfig to configure the system management service.


    # /usr/bin/n1smconfig
    

    The current system configuration appears, and lists the network interfaces. You are then asked to specify the DHCP server.

    For example:


    # /usr/bin/n1smconfig
    
    - - - - - - CURRENT CONFIGURATION - - - - - - -
    
       Provisioning Interface = ce0 : 10.11.52.79
       DHCP IP range: none
       Management Interface = ce0 : 10.11.52.79
    
      Logging values:
          job.plan-timeout = 1440
          job.step-timeout = 120
          filter.topic = all
          filter.severity = 0
          Days before deleting log entries = 365
    
        DNS settings = none.
    
       Web console auto login enabled = no
       Serial console with SSHv1 enabled = no
    
    Current SSH policy:
    accept CHANGED host keys for Management IP address = yes
    accept CHANGED host keys for Platform IP address = yes
    accept UNKNOWN host keys for Management IP address = yes
    accept UNKNOWN host keys for Platform IP address = yes
    
    ALOM email server = internal server
    
    DHCP server = Solaris
    
    Discover servers by the OS IP addresses = no
    
    CURRENT RIS Servers:
    
    
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    This program configures the N1SM Management Server.
    Only options that can be changed will be displayed.
    Would you like to continue? ([n]/y) y 
  3. Choose the Solaris DHCP server.

    Type s to choose the Solaris DHCP server. The Open Telecommunications Platform does not support ISC DHCP.

    A description of the tasks you can perform at this point appears. You are then asked whether you want to modify the interface that is to be used by the provisioning network.

  4. Type y to specify the provisioning network interface.


    Note –

    Even if the provisioning interface shown matches the current provisioning interface, type y to rebind the provisioning interface IP addresst of the new system management host.


    The available interfaces are listed. You are asked to specify the provisioning network interface port.

  5. Type the interface name that is to be used for the provisioning interface.

    Type the interface name that is to be used for the provisioning interface, for example ce0, eth0, hme0, bge0 and so on depending on the host architecture and installed OS.

    You are asked if you want the DHCP server to use a specific IP address range.

  6. Type n to disable DHCP IP address range use.

    You are asked if you want to modify the interface that is to be used by the management network.

  7. Type y to specify for the management network interface.


    Note –

    Even if the provisioning interface shown matches the current provisioning interface, type y to rebind the management interface IP addresst of the new system management host.


    A description of the management network appears, followed by a list of the network interfaces that have been detected. You are then prompted to specify the interface that is to be used by the management network.

  8. Type the interface name that is to be used for the management interface.

    Type the interface name that is to be used for the management interface, for example ce0, eth0, hme0, bge0 and so on depending on the host architecture and installed OS.

    You are asked whether you want to configure the DNS name servers and search list entry.

  9. Type n.

    The OTP system management restore process will restore the OTP DNS and search list configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to configure the SMTP server for event notification.

  10. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the SMTP configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to modify the logging configuration.

  11. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the logging configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to enable auto-login for the ILOM Web GUI.

  12. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the auto—login configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to enable SSHv1 protocol.

  13. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the SSHv1 configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to modify SSH policies for changed and unknown host keys.

  14. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the SSH configuration data.

    The current status of the ALOM email server is displayed. You are asked whether you want to modify the ALOM email server.

  15. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the ALOM email configuration data.

    You are asked whether you want to add, delete, or modify the WindowsTM RIS server.

  16. Type n.

    This release of the Open Telecommunications Platform does not support Windows.

    A description of OS Discovery appears. You are asked whether you want to enable OS discovery.

  17. Type n.

    The Open Telecommunications Platform requires IP address-based discovery.

    You are asked whether you want to modify the default password on the execution server.

  18. Type n.

    The Open Telecommunications Platform requires IP address-based discovery.

    You are asked whether you want to modify the default password on the execution server.

  19. Type n.

    The restore process will restore the execution server password.

    The configuration process then displays the settings you have specified, and asks whether you want to apply the settings.

  20. Review the proposed settings.

    • Type y to apply the settings.

      The settings are applied, and the OTP system management service is restarted.

    • Type n if the settings are not correct.

      You are notified that you must reconfigure and apply settings for the system managementservice to work properly. The configuration process then exits to the system prompt. To configure the system management service, run the n1smconfig command again.

Next Steps

Restore the system management database and files to the OTP host as described in the next procedure.
