Cd toc files ARTICLE 1 Hi all. A friend of mine just recently gave me an old RISC 6000 machine to learn on for my AIX certification. I installed AIX 4.3.3 and everything seems to work fine, except there are no man pages. Is there a way to generate man pages on this machine? Thanks alot in advance. Install the package bos.rte.man. copy it to a directory, cd to there, run "inutoc ." to generate the .toc-file, then run "smitty install_latest" and select "." as installation directory. bakunin ARTICLE 2 GPFS for Clusters V2.2 Concepts, Planning, and Installation Guide GA22-7968-01 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation procedures The installation procedures are generalized for all levels of GPFS. Ensure you substitute the correct numeric value for the modification (m) and fix (f) levels, where applicable. The modification and fix level are dependent upon the level of PTF support. Follow these steps to install the GPFS software using the installp command: Electronic license agreement Creating the GPFS directory Creating the GPFS installation table of contents file Installing the GPFS man pages Installing GPFS on your network Existing GPFS files Verifying the GPFS installation Electronic license agreement Beginning with GPFS 2.1, software license agreements are shipped and viewable electronically. If a product has an electronic license agreement, it must be accepted before software installation can continue. For additional software package installations, the installation cannot occur unless the appropriate license agreements are accepted. When using the installp command, use the -Y flag to accept licenses and the -E flag to view license agreement files on the media. Creating the GPFS directory On any node, create a subdirectory in /tmp/gpfslpp by issuing: mkdir /tmp/gpfslppCopy the installation images from the CD-ROM to the new directory, by issuing: bffcreate -qvX -t /tmp/gpfslpp -d /dev/cd0 mmfsThis will place the following GPFS images in the image directory : mmfs.base mmfs.gpfs. mmfs.msg.en_US mmfs.gpfsdocs.data Creating the GPFS installation table of contents file Make the new image directory the current directory: cd /tmp/gpfslppUse the inutoc command to create a .toc file. The .toc file is used by the installp command. inutoc .Installing the GPFS man pages In order to use the GPFS man pages you must install the mmfs.gpfsdocs image. There are three sets of man pages shipped with the GPFS for AIX 5L program product, one set for: The GPFS cluster type sp located at /usr/lpp/mmfs/gpfsdocs/man/pssp/ The GPFS cluster types rpd and hacmp located at /usr/lpp/mmfs/gpfsdocs/man/aix/ The GPFS cluster type lc located at /usr/lpp/mmfs/gpfsdocs/man/lc/ You should set your MANPATH environment variable to lc set of man pages. Note: mmfs.gpfsdocs image need not be installed on all nodes if man pages are not desired or local file system space on the node is minimal. Installing GPFS on your network Install GPFS according to these directions, where localNode is the name of the node on which you are running: If you are installing on a shared file system network, ensure the directory where the GPFS images can be found is NFS exported to all of the nodes planned for your GPFS cluster (/tmp/gpfs.allnodes). Ensure an acceptable directory or mountpoint is available on each target node, such as /tmp/gpfslpp. If there is not, create one: WCOLL=/tmp/gpfs.allnodes dsh "mkdir /tmp/gpfslpp"If you are installing on a shared file system network, to place the GPFS images on each node in your network, issue: WCOLL=/tmp/gpfs.allnodes dsh "mount localNode:/tmp/gpfslpp /tmp/gpfslpp"Otherwise, issue: WCOLL=/tmp/gpfs.allnodes dsh "rcp localNode:/tmp/gpfslpp/mmfs* /tmp/gpfslpp"Install GPFS on each node: WCOLL=/tmp/gpfs.allnodes dsh "installp -agXYd /tmp/gpfslpp mmfs > /var/tmp/install.output 2>&1" Existing GPFS files If you have previously installed GPFS on your system, during the install process you may see messages similar to: Some configuration files could not be automatically merged into the system during the installation. The previous versions of these files have been saved in a configuration directory as listed below. Compare the saved files and the newly installed files to determine if you need to recover configuration data. Consult product documentation to determine how to merge the data. Configuration files which were saved in /lpp/save.config: /var/mmfs/etc/gpfsready /var/mmfs/etc/mmfs.cfg /var/mmfs/etc/mmfsdown.scr /var/mmfs/etc/mmfsup.scrIf you have made changes to any of these files, you will have to reconcile the differences with the new versions of the files in directory /var/mmfs/etc. This does not apply to file /var/mmfs/etc/mmfs.cfg which is automatically maintained by GPFS. Verifying the GPFS installation Use the lslpp command to verify the installation of GPFS file sets on each node: lslpp -l mmfs* Output similar to the following should be returned: Fileset Level State Description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Path: /usr/lib/objrepos mmfs.base.cmds 3.5.0.4 COMMITTED GPFS File Manager Commands mmfs.base.rte 3.5.0.5 COMMITTED GPFS File Manager mmfs.gpfs.rte 2.2.0.4 COMMITTED GPFS File Manager mmfs.msg.en_US 3.5.0.2 COMMITTED GPFS Server Messages - U.S. English Path: /etc/objrepos mmfs.base.rte 3.5.0.5 COMMITTED GPFS File Manager mmfs.gpfs.rte 2.2.0.4 COMMITTED GPFS File Manager Path: /usr/share/lib/objrepos mmfs.gpfsdocs.data 3.5.0.1 COMMITTED GPFS Server Manpages ARTICLE 3
