IRIX Satellite Installation

We describe the configuration of a pre-installed IRIX 5.3 system on node DE831 for use at Fermilab Experiment 687 ( aka FOCUS ), in accordance with Fermilab USS and DART standards.

This node was previously installed as FNPX35.

Installation Checklist

DA831:/.rhosts – add de381.fnal.gov
/etc/exports

DA831 – add de831.fnal.gov to /home , /usr/local , /usr/products
DB831 – add de831.fnal.gov to /ebhome , /monda , /e831data

exec tcsh
/etc/sys_id – edit with VI to contain ‘dd831’
This sets the system’s local node name

/etc/config/ifconfig-1.options (test with ifconfig ec0) to set the correct subnet mask for FOCUS.

netmask 0xffff0000

/etc/hosts – edit with VI to add
131.225.101.41 da831.fnal.gov da831
.rhosts – ( ) echo da831.fnal.gov >.rhosts
For easier copying of files within the workgroup

.cshrc , .login , .logout mv to .fnpx35 rcp da831:. .
NFS mount user and product directories

( ) mkdir /home
(.) mkdir /usr/local
(.) mkdir /usr/products
( ) Prepare fstab in /home/root/configs/fstab.de831

rcp da831:/etc/init.d/ups /etc/init.d/ups
Add symbolic links according to comments in /etc/init.d/ups

/var/yp/ypdomain – set the local domain, and start nis

echo da831.fnal.gov > /var/yp/ypdomain
chkconfig yp on
/usr/etc/ypbind

Install non-default utilities from IRIX 5.3 CD

eoe2.rcs – for software development
eoe2.snmp – for network management
