6.4 posldap2crconfig.pl

posldap2crconfig.pl creates configuration files for CRs. Those config files
are generated by gathering data from LDAP and they contain information
needed by the CR at boot time about image, configuration files, partitioning
and disk.

6.4.1 Function

In normal operation, posldap2crconfig.pl does a part of what is done by
posleases2ldap.pl: It looks for hwtype.<MAC-address> files uploaded by
CRs, looks up the CRs LDAP entry, assigns the hardware type and the default
image for this hardware type in the CRs LDAP entry and finally generates the
config files for the CRs in the subdirectory CR under the tftpboot directory. The
file uploaded by the CR is removed from the /tftpboot/upload directory after
that.
posldap2crconfig.pl can optionally be run with the parameter --dumpall.
Using the --dumpall mode, posldap2crconfig.pl regenerates the config files
for all CRs found in LDAP.
Note: When posldap2crconfig.pl generates syslog messages, these mes-
sages will be displayed in all open shell windows of the branch server, if the
default setting of the configuration file /etc/syslog.conf is used. To avoid
this behaviour edit the following line in /etc/syslog.conf and change it as
shown below:
# *.emerg *
