HANDLING XDOD/DIGIPATH JOBS
Configuring NFS for XDOD 3.1 or earlier
Configuring the default NFS daemon
Using an alternate NFS daemon (SunOS only)
13-2
At system start-up, you must start an NFS service and export the
appropriate subdirectories.
A daemon, running on the DocuPrint Printer Controller, provides NFS
services. You must start this NFS daemon because the standard
DocuPrint configuration does not run an NFS daemon for system
security reasons. To start the appropriate service:
•
If the computer that is transferring files to the DocuPrint Printer
Controller over NFS is a UNIX system, use the default NFS
daemon. See "Configuring the default NFS daemon" for
information on configuring this daemon.
•
If the computer transferring files is not a UNIX system, you may
need to place an appropriate daemon on the DocuPrint Printer
Controller to be started each time the server is restarted. See
"Using an alternate NFS daemon" for more information.
A DocuPrint system acts as an NFS server using a standard Sun
NFS daemon. This daemon should operate with client systems that
are also running UNIX, unless XDOD third-party daemons are not
supported by the client.
In a SunOS system, the /etc/exports file specifies the directory that is
being exported; under Solaris, the file is called /etc/dfs/dfstab. As
long as the appropriate file exists, the default NFS daemon is started
each time the DocuPrint Printer Controller is restarted.
The default NFS daemon may not operate with the NFS client
software on the machine that must transfer referenced files to the
DocuPrint Printer Controller. If this occurs, you should be able to find
a supplier of a compatible daemon. The daemon must be able to run
under SunOS on a SPARCStation platform. This feature is not
supported under Solaris.
Place the daemon software in the /usr/etc directory on the server. It
must then be executed and the correct directory exported each time
the server is restarted. Ensure that these steps are performed by
creating a script that runs at system start-up.
You can automate these steps by creating an appropriate Bourne
shell script. It should contain the commands that are needed to start
the NFS daemon that was placed in the /usr/etc directory. Store the
script on the DocuPrint Printer Controller as /etc/rc.NFS, and set the
permissions on the file with the command chmod 600 /etc/rc.NFS.
Add the following statement to the end of the /etc/rc.local file:
sh /etc/rc.NFS > /dev/console
Be sure to include a space after the "sh" and a return at the end of
the statement. This statement executes the script that contains the
commands in the rc.NFS file at the correct point in the booting
procedure. Take care when altering the rc.local file: changing lines
other than those described may cause DocuPrint start-up problems.
