About This Manual vii

Overview

You can set up a server for both VAX and RISC clients with ULTRIX/UWS Version
4.0, independent of the architecture of the system that will act as the server.
Therefore, a VAX or a RISC system can serve both VAX and RISC clients. This
guide describes how to set up a server.

1 .1

Server Pu rposes
The server provides two distinct functions:
•

Setup for serving diskless clients
You can install software into a diskless server area using the diskless
management services utility, dms. Then, diskless clients can be registered and
can access the software in the diskless server area as if that software were
located on their local systems.

•

Setup for remote installation services
You can install ULTRIX software using the remote installation services utility,
r is. Then, licensed users can be registered and can install ULTRIX software
on their systems using the network as the distribution device.

1.2 Distribution Media
The distribution media to use for your server depends on the type of equipment you
have.
The distribution kit contains TK50 tape cartridges, MT9 tapes, CDROM optical discs
or an RA60 disk pack. Table 1-1 contains a list of media labels and contents for
each type of media. The device special file name for a tape kit is / dev / rmtnh.
The special file name for a CDROM kit is / dev / r znc. The special file name for
an RA60 kit is / dev /? ? nco The letter n represents the unit number of the
distribution device.

1.4 Knowledge Required
Depending on the type of server setup you plan, you must know how to perform the
applicable procedures from the list that follows:
•

•

Set up a diskless server area using the dms utility, which is described in the
Guide to Diskless Management Services.

•

Set up a remote installation services area using the r is utility, which is
described in the Guide to Remote Installation Services.

Overview 1-3

Setting Up for Diskless Management
Services

File systems and administrative files for diskless clients are located on the server.
Each diskless server area contains two types of file systems:
•

One or more dlenv file systems that contain the diskless environment. The
components of a diskless environment are one or more common root
directories. The dlenv file system also holds a shared software area within
each common root area that contains the usr area, where read-only data files
and executable files are located.

•

One or more dlclient file systems where a copy of each registered diskless
client's portion of the common root directory and client-specific files are
located. When the client boots, this shared us r area is automatically mounted
via the Network File System (NFS) by each client.

Throughout this guide, the server file systems are designated dlenvn and
dlclientn. The root directories can be either rootn. mips or rootn. vax.
Throughout this guide the common root directories are designated rootn. mips.
The letter n represents the number assigned to the specific file system or common
root directory when it is installed. The portion of the common root directory that
is copied to each registered client is designated client_name. root.
A server processor may have several diskless server areas. Each common
rootn. mips directory of each dlenvn file system may contain a different set of
software products to provide a distinct software environment for a group of licensed
diskless clients to share. The files in the usr area of a particular rootn. mips
directory are shared by all the clients registered for that environment.
Disk space is required on the server for each diskless server area file system. The
sections that follow provide guidelines for estimating the disk space you need.

2.1

Disk Space Required for the dlenv File System
Each common rootn .mips area contains at least the mandatory ULTRIX and
ULTRIX W orksystem Software subsets, plus other supported subsets and additional
software desired for clients who are registered to access that area.
In addition, reserve the following:
•

About 20% of the disk space for file system administration, like adding files,
and for file system information

•

Enough space for any layered products, such as DECnet, that you plan to install

Table 2-1 shows the approximate sizes of the software subsets for some ULTRIX
products that you might want to install.

Table 2-1: Approximate Disk Space Required

Software Subsets

Approximate Size
in Mbytes (RiSe)

All ULTRIX
All ULTRIX unsupported

Approximate Size
in Mbytes (VAX)

150

Allow 20% of the disk partition size for file system administration and information.
In addition, be sure to allow space for any other software products you plan to install.

For example, you might calculate the space requirement for a dlenv file system to
be accessed by RISC clients as follows:
All ULTRIX
All ULTRIX unsupported
One layered product

150 Mbytes
36 Mbytes
50 Mbytes

Subtotal

236 Mbytes

20% file system allowance

47 Mbytes

Total

283 Mbytes

2.2 Disk Space Required for the dlclient File System
You must allow disk space in each dl eli en t file system on the server for clients'
root directories and, in some cases, for clients' swap files and for clients to crash
dump over the network to the server.
Use the following guidelines for your estimates:
•

Allow a minimum of 10 Mbytes for each client's root area.

•

If network crash dump to the server will be enabled, add an amount equal to the
client's memory size plus its kernel size.

•

If any of the client's swap files will be located on the server, you may want to
allow two to three times the client's physical memory size depending on need.

•

The clients' volatile files, like those in the tmp directory, and volatile
directories like var / spool and var / adrn/ crash are located in
dl c 1 i e n t? and require space.

•

Clients that add files to their client_name. root areas use space.

You can estimate the space that different clients in a group require and spread that
amount of space over the whole group when determining your dlclient? disk
space requirements.
Use the fonnulas that follow to help you estimate the space you need in the
dlclient file system.
The formula to determine the minimum amount of space required for the clients'
root areas, with an example, follows:
Number of
Clients
5

*
*

10 Mbytes
Root Area

Minimum
dlclient Space

2-2 Setting Up for Diskless Management Services

The formula to determine the amount of additional space you need if clients can
dump across the network, with an example, follows:
Number of
Clients

(Client Memory
Size (Mbytes)

Kernel
Size)

Additional dlclient
Space for Dump

2.5)

31. 5 Mbytes

(16

2.5)

37 Mbytes

If clients' swap files are located on the server, two to three times the client's physical
memory size depending on need is required. The formula to determine the amount of
additional space required, with an example using three times each client's physical
memory size, follows:
Number of
Clients *

(Client Memory
Size (Mbytes)

2-3)

Additional dlclient
Space for Swap

72 Mbytes

(16

96 Mbytes

Using the examples given with the formulas, plus an allowance of 15 Mbytes per
client for user files, the dlclient would require about 365 Mbytes of disk space on
the server for five clients.

2.3 Installing the Software
You must allocate disk partitions for the diskless server area file systems using the
idms utility option Create Diskless Area on Disk and install software using the dms
utility option Install Software to install subsets to a diskless server area. See the
Guide to Diskless Management Services for information.
Note
Be sure that software subsets you install to either
/ dlenv? / root? . mips or / dlenv? / root? . vax are specific to the
system architecture served by that directory.

Setting Up for Diskless Management Services 2-5

Setting Up for Remote Installation Services

You need approximately 150 Mbytes on the server's disk to set up a remote
installation services area containing all the ULTRIX software for remote installation
services for RISe clients. You need approximately 93 Mbytes on the server's disk to
set up a remote installation services area containing all the ULTRIX software for
remote installation services for VAX clients. This space is necessary for the file
system containing the /usr / adm/ ris directory.
