Notes on when I reinstalled AIX 4.1.3 on nemesis on 8-15-95 and reconfigured NIM. 0) Installed 4-gig disk in lieu of 2 670's & 1 1-gig. Installed cd drive stolen/borrowed from maple. 1) Installed bos from cd. Set date/time. Answered "Yes" to "On Daylight Savings Time" & chose "Pacific Standard Time", resulting in PDT. Set root's password. Configured TCP/IP using nemesis & 129.33.40.14 as hostname, 129.33.40.250 as gateway, 129.33.40.254 as name server, and almaden.ibm.com as domain name. 2) Installed afs with tftp -o /tmp/afsinstall oak /local/lib/afs/afsinstall image chmod 755 /tmp/afsinstall tftp -o /tmp/afsclient.tar oak /local/lib/afs/afsclient-41.tar image and /tmp/afsinstall /tmp/afsclient.tar 3) Get the cd readable by crfs -v cdrfs -p ro -dcd0 -m/cd -Ano and mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /cd 4) Got a list of filesets that needed to be installed by doing a lslpp -L on nemesis and comparing it with the list I had before. Created an installp command that was 7157 characters long that installed 347 filesets. installp -agX -d /cd/usr/sys/inst.images bos.acct bos.adt.base bos.adt.data ... and ran it. That took over 2 hours. 5) Ran setupnet from a squirreled-away copy in /u/jasper/nemesis/home/root/setupnet. ./afs/alm/@sys/local/bin/klog jasper cp -p /afs/alm/u/jasper/nemesis/home/root/setupnet /tmp/setupnet chmod +x /tmp/setupnet and ./tmp/setupnet (This failed before doing step 4) above because /usr/sbin didn't have gated or named yet - they were in the bos.net.tcp.server fileset. I modified setupnet to handle this case.) 6) Since the 4.1 version of customize was still in /afs/alm/ais/install/alminst, export ALMINST=/afs/alm/ais/install/alminst cd $ALMINST/scripts ./customize -net -afsrinst (this failed before step 4) above because nemesis didn't have a graphics adapter in it, so the desktop filesets didn't get installed, and we were missing /usr/dt/bin, which the afsrinst script wanted to backup.) 7) Created the /export file system. Made it 2 gig big 4194304 512-byte blocks = 2 gig). crfs -v jfs -g rootvg -a size=4194304 -m /export -A yes mount /export mkdir /export/nim mkdir /export/nim/scripts 8) Activated the NIM master. nimconfig -a pif_name=en0 -a master_port=1058 -a netname=subnet40 \ -a platform=rs6k -a cable_type=di 9) Define the network. There were 10 ethernet subnets (10, 12-15, 17, 20, 22, 30, and 32) and 10 token ring subnets (60, 62-65, 67-68, 70, 72, and 82). The commands all looked like nim -o define -t ent -a net addr=129.33.10.00 -a snm=255.255.255.0 subnet10 or nim -o define -t tok -a net addr=129.33.60.00 -a snm=255.255.255.0 subnet60. Subnet40 didn't have to be redefined, because it was automatically defined in step 8) above. 10) Define the routing. There were 20 commands, all similar to nim -o change -a routing1='subnet10 wf-40 wf-10' subnet40 Again, no routing had to be defined between subnet40 & subnet40. Had errors on subnet 14, 15, & 17 (unable to resolve wf-1x to an IP address). Had to nim -o change -a routing4='subnet14 wf-40 bobcat' subnet40 nim -o change -a routing5='subnet15 wf-40 bobcat' subnet40 nim -o change -a routing6='subnet17 wf-40 wf-172-20-192' subnet40 for those subnets. 11) Define the lpp_source. umount /cd (had to make /dev/cd0 unbusy - I had it mounted from step 3) above). nim -o define -t spot -a location=/export -a server=master -a source=/dev/cd0 lpp-413 12) Add all the other filesets from the cd into the lpp_source, lpp-413. Rick, do a nim -o lslpp lpp-413, bounce it off of WANTED FILESETS (or some such), and use your DOBFF XEDIT macro to build a BFF COMMAND. Then run that on nemesis.
