Setup Walkthrough for Path 3
This subsection provides an example of the ,etup interactive dialogue which is typical for the
non-standard network server configuration. This path allows you to select the size and disk
placement of the public partition, the size of each user's paging partition, and the size of each
user's file system area. In the example, what you might type in is shown in
boldface type like
this; whatever is simply displayed on the monitor is shown in Roman type like this.
We invoke the ,etup program by typing the ,etup command. Setup begins by requesting global
information:
1t
setup
Sun Microsystems Configuration System
Global Information
1) network disk server
2)
standalone
3)
standalone with remote tape
Enter the number for your environment: 1
You have a network disk server system; is this correct? (yin):
y
Note that the program asks you to verify configuration information after each 'phase' of
configuration is complete. It is extremely difficult to undo system configuration, so be careful
with your responses: 'y' casts things in concrete, and 'n' allows you to start the phase over
again. You can also type 'q' to any prompt to quit the letup program and return to the shell -
this allows you to annihilate what you have done and start over, if you have to.
After determining your environment, letup gathers information about your disk configuration.
It determines the type of disk controller being used for installation, and asks you for device
information:
You have booted off ofaXylogics disk controller
Enter the number ot disks attached to the Xylogics controller: (1-2): 2
The Xylogics disk controller has
2
disk( s):
xyO
xyl
Is this configuration correct! (yin): y
For the remainder of the dialogue, ,etup will refer to your disk(s) by their
UNIX
device abbrevia-
tions. Next, ,etup begins the partitioning process for the first-named disk. If your configuration
includes more than one disk on a single controller, as in our example, ,etup will completely
finish partitioning the first disk and then turn to the second. If you have multiple controllers,
you will be asked to repeat this entire phase for each controller. Your configuration will be vali-
dated after all disks have bt;en partitioned. If errors are found at that time - for example, if all
clients have not been allocated both
I
u,r and paging areas -
you will be asked to edit your
specified configuration until it is correct.
The partitioning phase of the dialogue begins with an opportunity to allocate equal partitioning
(Path 2); this is followed by optional allocation of the
I
pub subpartition:
