Test Your Slrs System Environment - Novell SLRS 8 Admin Manual

3 Quick Start Guide
Congratulations! You have installed your branch server.

3.4 Test your SLRS System Environment

To complete the steps of the SLRS installation process, as described in Section
3.1 on page 22, you have to verify the installation by booting at least one POS
client attached to the previously installed branch server.
Figure 3.6 illustrates the procedure how to verify the LDAP settings of the
administration server and the tftpboot entries of the branch server up to the
state when the POS client boots the first stage image followed by the second
stage image. To verify and test your SLRS installation execute the following
steps:
Attach a POS client to the branch server network.
Optionally test if the POS LDAP structure is accessible on the administra-
tion server using a ldapsearch command or a GUI-based LDAP browser,
such as GQ. For further information refer to Section
Optionally verify the LDAP settings for your attached POS client, the
corresponding POS image (version) and test if the configured POS image
is available on the branch server below the /tftpboot/images directory.
For further information how to modify and add LDAP entries for your
specific SLRS system enviroment refer to the Section
Figure 3.6 : The scCashRegister object which matches the model type
of the POS client must exist in LDAP, for example, IBMSurePOS300Series.
Furthermore the scPosImageDn object must be set to an existing POS
image, for example, the browser image.
The scPosImage object, which is associated to a Cash Register type
must exist in LDAP.
The branch server must provide the first and the second stage boot
image below the /tftpboot directory. As shown in Figure 3.6, the
browser-1.1.1 image and the corresponding MD5 check sum file (browser-
1.1.1.md5), which is configured in LDAP for a POS client from type IBM-
SurePOS300Series must be available for download by the CR.
The POS image must be set active in LDAP, otherwise the POS client
will not be able to download the image.

SUSE decided not to set the POS images to active automatically, during the configuration
of the SLRS on the administration server.
