Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE 11 - SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT TOOL GUIDE 10-02-2009 Manual page 217

Function
When running this script, you are prompted to enter the company name, country abbre-
viation, IP address, and the LDAP administrator password of the Administration Server.
The /etc/SLEPOS/branchserver.conf configuration file is generated by filling
in the LDAP base, LDAP administrator password, and the IP address of the Adminis-
tration Server. The /etc/SLEPOS/template/branchserver.conf.template
file is used as template.
The posInitBranchserver.sh script uses poscheckip.pl to find its own IP
address in LDAP. It only works correctly if the Branch Server data in LDAP was created
properly in advance using the posAdmin tool after the installation of the Administration
Server. For further information, refer to Section 6.4, "Creating Branch Server Objects
in LDAP" (page 55).
The poscheckip.pl script also yields the domain name for this branch, which is
used to generate proper configuration header files for the DHCP and DNS services,
which in turn are needed for posldap2dns.pl and posldap2dhcp.pl.
The zone file header for posldap2dns.pl is generated from /etc/SLEPOS/
template/dns-zonefile.header.template and written to /etc/named
.d/ldap_generated/dns-zonefile.header.
The resolver configuration /etc/resolv.conf is written, then posldap2dns.pl
and posldap2dhcp.pl are run and the DNS and DHCP services are started.
Finally, a multicast route is set up and the TFTP service is started. The configuration
of the multicast route is also stored in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes so
it is activated at boot time.
Usage
Run posInitBranchserver.sh on a Branch Server.
