PRIMESTATION as LAN Console
Configuration
mkrca - Address the RCA
Syntax:
mkrca
[-t
<RCA Type>
] <
RCA config_file
>
-t RCA Type
The permitted values are “3” and “4” for the RCA3 or the RCA4. If no
t
argument is specified, an RCA3 is configured.
RCA config_file
The
RCA_config_file
command argument defines the file that the user
copied from the template and filled by means of the setup template
named
setup.tpl
. The content is analyzed by a shell and loaded, i.e. the
entries must comply with the shell syntax rules (e.g. values must follow
straight after the “=” character). Syntax and/or plausibility errors are
reported and cause the script to terminate.
The
mkrca
script creates a configuration entry
<RCA SystemName>adm
in
addition for the RCA4 with
admin
as the RCA port number. This configuration
provides administration access to the RCA4. If the script cannot create this
administration access, it should be created retrospectively using the
mklancon
script.
After the RCA has been switched on for the first time and has passed its boot
phase, it can be accessed from the LAN Console, for example using
ping
.
RCA access
I
You will find an overview of all available RCA commands in the section
“RCA commands” on page 75.
An authentication check is generally performed for accessing the RCA4, i. e. the
user name and password must first be entered correctly before the RCA can be
used. This authentication check can be enabled and disabled for setting up
console connections.
The
Admin
administrator is predefined in the RCA with all extensive rights,
comparable with the user
root
on Solaris systems. In addition, additional users
can be created in the RCA with different rights - see “User commands” on
page 91. A maximum of 64 users can be administered in the RCA.
The user name and password must be specified when setting up a console
connection where an access check is in operation in the RCA.
