Preparing to Install Your Operating System

If your server's
var
area is separate from the
usr
area, there will be a symbolic link
to it at
/usr/var.
In this case, add a line similar to the following to the
/etc/exports
file:
/var/adm/ris/ris2.zips/kit -r=0 -o
In the previous example,
ris2.zips
is the product area where the RIS DEC OSF/1
Version T3.0B-2 is installed.
•
If your
var
area is part of your
usr
area, add a line similar to the following to the
/etc/exports
file:
/usr/var/adm/ris/ris2.zips/kit -r=0 -o
In the previous example,
ris2.zips
is the product area where the RIS DEC OSF/1
Version T3.0B-2 kit is installed.
Setting Up a RIS Area on an ULTRIX Server
The information in this section applies specifically to setting up a RIS area on an ULTRIX
server. Refer to the instructions for setting up such a RIS area in the Sharing Software on
a Local Area Network manual.
When you use an ULTRIX RIS server for DEC OSF/1 Version T3.0B-2, you must issue
some additional commands before clients can boot the software. Use the RIS install
software option to extract or link to the DEC OSF/1 Version T3.0B-2 kit. Then, perform
the following steps.
__________________________ Note _____________________________
In the following command lines, n is the number of the directory where the
product is installed on the ULTRIX server, for example,
ris0.mips.
____________________________________________________________
1.
Move to the directory where the product was installed:
# cd /var/adm/ris
n.
mips
2.
Extract the
ROOT
files and create the directory structure required for DEC OSF/1
clients:
# restore xf */ROOT ./RisFiles
# /usr/bin/sh5 RisFiles Extract */ROOT
You must also add the following line to the client
/etc/exports
file before you can
install DEC OSF/1 Version T3.0B-2 on a client. Because DEC OSF/1 Version T3.0B-2
client systems access part of the kit from the server using NFS, you must make sure that
the appropriate NFS server capabilities are enabled on the RIS server. (See the
nfssetup
(8) reference page.)
