Setting Up New Instances Of The Agents Without Installing The Agent Software - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - INTEROPERABILITY Manual

3.5.4 Setting Up New Instances of the Agents without Installing
the Agent Software
There are two steps to setting up new instances of the agents without installing the agent software:
"Creating New Startup Files" on page 54
"Modifying Existing Load and Unload Scripts" on page 54
Creating New Startup Files
Each MTA startup file is named after the domain it services, with a
startup file is named after the post office it services, with a
software is located in the
as well. If the existing agent software is located in multiple
files might be located there as well, or they might be in a directory on a GroupWise volume.
To create a new startup file without installing the agent software:
1 Make a copy of an existing startup file and name it after the domain or post office that will be
serviced by the agent.
2 Edit the setting of the /home startup switch to point to the location of the new domain directory
or post office directory. Be careful to maintain the syntax of the original line.
3 Scroll down through the startup file looking for other active (not commented out) startup
switches, then modify them as needed for the new agent.
For example, you might find that the /httpport switch is active and needs to be changed to a
cluster-unique port number for the new agent.
4 Save the new startup file.
5 Continue with
Modifying Existing Load and Unload Scripts
The agent startup file names are part of the
load scrips.
If you created the new domain and/or post office on a new GroupWise volume, skip back to
"Configuring the GroupWise Volume Resource to Load and Unload the Agents" on page 50
instructions to create new load and unload scripts.
If you created the new domain and/or post office on an existing GroupWise volume, most of the
configuration of the volume resource has already been done. You just need to add new
commands to the existing scripts. Continue with the steps below:
unload
To modify existing load and unload scripts:
1 In ConsoleOne, browse to and select the Cluster object.
If necessary, click View > Console View to display its contents.
2 Right-click the Volume Resource object (volume_SERVER), then click Properties > Load to
display the volume resource load script for the GroupWise volume.
