1 Upgrading to the Power of OpenServer 6
2
2 Agenda Migrating from OSR5 Changes to be aware of Configuring the new features SCO Global Services
3
Migrating from OSR5 Hardware configuration User accounts Mail User and application data Network configuration
4
4 Migrating Hardware Configuration The new SVR5 kernel should recognize and automatically configure all your hardware devices – you no longer need to manually configure hardware devices Sound Cards: only Intel ICH4 and prior chipsets that comply with the AC’97 standard are supported at this time – they will be detected and automatically configured at boot Printers: use the Printer Manager to re-create your printer setup
5
5 Migrating Hardware Configuration Serial Cards: All supported serial cards are now auto-detected at boot, you no longer need to add or configure them in the Serial Manager However, you must run the Serial Manager at least once to create the devices nodes and configure the ports controlled by the serial cards before you can start using them Serial cards with 3rd party drivers will need a new SVR5 driver Modems: Configured as usual through the Modem Configuration Manager PC Card (PCMCIA) modems must be configured using the DCU
6
6 Migrating Hardware Configuration Mass Storage Devices: should be auto-detected and configured at boot time – use the DCU to configure HBAs that were not auto-detected use mkdev hd to view detected hard disks and configure filesystems on them (or run fdisk and divvy manually) use mkdev cdrom to view detected CD-ROM drives use mkdev tape to view detected tape drives. Most tape drives supported on OSR5 are also supported on OSR6 except some floppy-tape (QIC-80) devices
7
7 Migrating Hardware Configuration – Device Nodes In general OSR6 supports both OSR5-style and SVR5-style (UnixWare) device nodes For hard disk nodes, a combination is used: Partitions are OSR5-style: /dev/[r]hdXYX is the physical disk number /dev/dsk/XsYY is the partition number Divisions (slices) are SVR5-style: /dev/[r]dsk/cXbXtXdXsZ /dev/[r]dsk/cXbXtXdXpYsZ X is the SCSI address as output by /etc/scsi/sdiconfig –l Y is the partition number Z is the division (slice) number
8
8 Migrating User Accounts Archive accounts and group membership on the OSR5 system: ap –d -g –v > profile.acct Restore the accounts on the OSR6 system. OSR5 and OSR6 treat long passwords differently, so there are two methods for restoring your account details: 1.truncate the long passwords to 8 characters: ap –r –f profile.acct 2.specify a new default password for all accounts with long passwords only: ap –r –f profile.acct –p password
9
9 Migrating Mail User inboxes: copy /usr/spool/mail from OSR5 to /var/mail on the OSR6 system MMDF configuration: copy only the following files from OSR5 to the OSR6 system: /usr/mmdf/mmdtailor /usr/mmdf/table/*.chn /usr/mmdf/table/*.dom /usr/mmdf/table/alias.* /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/home/q.* on the OSR6 system, enter the following commands: su mmdf cd /usr/mmdf/table./dbmbuild exit
10
10 Migrating Mail SendMail configuration: merge the contents of the OSR5 configuration files with the new OSR6 files, do not simply copy them: OSR5OSR6 /usr/lib/sendmail.d/access/etc/mail/access /usr/lib/sendmail.d/aliases/etc/mail/aliases /usr/lib/sendmail.d/domains/etc/mail/domaintable /usr/lib/sendmail.d/local-hosts-names/etc/mail/local-hosts-names
11
11 Migrating Mail To preserve vacation notifications and custom forwarding, copy the following files from each user’s home directory MMDF: ~/.maildelivery ~/.alter_egos ~/tripnote ~/triplog SendMail: ~/.forward ~/.vacation.msg
12
12 Migrating User Data You can migrate your user data either via a backup tape or mounting the existing OSR5 disk on OSR6 Creating a backup tape is the recommended method because it allows you to restore to a VxFS filesystem and take advantage of large file support Either use a 3rd party backup solution that is supported on both platforms (eg. BackupEdge or LoneTar) or use the cpio command To restore an OSR5 cpio archive on OSR6: cpio –iAmudB –I
13
13 Migrating User Data – Mount OSR5 disk To mount an existing OSR5 disk (5.0.6 or 5.0.7 only), you must first install the wd Supplement on the OSR5 system Connect the drive to the OSR6 system After booting, login as root and run the command getlclfsdev to determine the /dev/dsk device nodes for the filesystems on the disk Use the Filesystem Manager to mount the filesystems
14
14 Migrating Networking The loopback interface is no longer presented in the Network Configuration Manager The “Add New WAN Connection” menu item has been removed from the Network Configuration Manager SCO PPP is no longer supported, PPP is provided by Morning Star PPP SLIP is no longer supported Netware and IPX/SPX are no longer supported
15
15 Migrating Networking: TCP/IP On the OSR5 system, use the netstat –rn command and note the hostname, domain name, IP address, netmask, broadcast address and frame type of the existing network interfaces On the OSR6 system, enter these values at ISL or via the Network Configuration Manager after ISL Migrate the following configuration files (merge with existing files, do not simply copy): /etc/hostsHostnames and IP addresses /etc/default/tcpTCP/IP configuration file /etc/tcpTCP/IP configuration file /etc/inetd.confServices available through inetd
16
16 Migrating Networking: DHCP To migrate your DHCP Server configuration, copy /etc/inet/dhcpd.conf to the OSR6 system To migrate your Address Allocation Server (AAS) configuration, copy /etc/inet/aasd.conf to the OSR6 system
17
17 Migrating Networking: Routing gated and routed have been updated in OSR6. The new routed adds RIPv2 support and both can do router discovery The new command rtquery allows you to query the routing daemons and provides additional control over routed Migrate the following configuration files: /etc/gated.confgated configuration – do not simply copy, changes are needed, see gated.conf(SFF) /etc/gatewaysrouted configuration, copy to /etc/inet/gateways – supports many more keywords, see routed(ADMN) /etc/gated.bgpBGP configuration /etc/gated.egpEGP configuration /etc/gated.ospfOSPF configuration /etc/gated.ripRIP configuration
18
18 Migrating Networking: DNS DNS has been updated to BIND 8.4.4 in OSR6, which includes security fixes and new features Copy the following configuration files: Then use the ndc restart command to restart named /etc/named.confnamed configuration /etc/resolv.confResolver configuration /etc/named.d/*DNS data files
19
19 Migrating NIS NIS is unchanged in OSR6 There are no configuration files to migrate over (assuming you already migrated over the user accounts using ap). Run the ypinit command to configure NIS: -m configure as a master server -s master configure as a slave server -c master configure as a copy-only server -C configure as a client
20
20 Migrating UUCP UUCP is unchanged in OSR6 Copy the following configuration files: /usr/lib/uucp/Devices /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions /usr/lib/uucp/Poll /usr/lib/uucp/Systems
21
21 Migrating an FTP Server ftpd has been updated to version 2.4 in OSR6, it includes security fixes and additional features New FTP Server Manager can be used to configure ftpd Migrate the following configuration files: /etc/ftpusersmerge with existing file in OSR6 /etc/shellsmerge with existing file in OSR6 /etc/ftpconvmerge with existing file in OSR6 /etc/ftpaccesssyntax has changed for: private keyword upload keyword
22
22 Migrating NFS NFS has been updated to NFSv3 in OSR6, its substantially different from the NFSv2 in OSR5 automount no longer looks at the NIS auto.master map file unless the following line is added to /etc/auto.master +auto.master Use the information in the OSR5 configurations files to edit the OSR6 files, you cannot simply copy the configuration files from OSR5 to OSR6: /etc/default/filesysUsed by client to define the systems to be mounted. The device names will differ on OSR6. /etc/exportfsUsed by the server to define filesystems that clients can mount. The device names will differ on OSR6. /etc/auto.masterLists initial automount configuration /etc/auto.directLists direct automount configuration /etc/auto.indirectLists indirect automount configuration
23
23 Migrating NTP NTP is basically the same on OSR5 and OSR6 The default configuration file (ntp.conf) is the same on both platforms, but is now located in /etc/inet/ntp.conf instead of /etc/ntp.conf You will also need to copy over any files containing authentication keys and create any log files defined in ntp.conf
24
24 Migrating PPP SCO PPP has been replaced by SCO Morning Star PPP There is no graphical administration tool for Morning Star PPP If you were already using Morning Star PPP on OSR5, you can simply copy the following files: /usr/lib/mstppp/Autostart /usr/lib/mstppp/Accounts /usr/lib/mstppp/Auth /usr/lib/mstppp/Systems /usr/lib/mstppp/Devices /usr/lib/mstppp/Dialers.local /usr/lib/mstppp/exec.in/* /usr/lib/mstppp/exec.out/*
25
25 Migrating PPP To migrate from SCO PPP to Morning Star PPP, save the following files from the OSR5 system for reference: /etc/ppphosts /etc/pppauth For outbound connections: use the host entries in the OSR5 /etc/ppphosts file when editing the /usr/lib/mstppp/Systems OSR6 file use the PAP/CHAP information in the OSR5 /etc/pppauth file for the /usr/lib/mstppp/Auth OSR6 file For inbound connections: use the host entries in the OSR5 /etc/ppphosts file when editing the /usr/lib/mstppp/Accounts OSR6 file use the PAP/CHAP information in the OSR5 /etc/pppauth file for the /usr/lib/mstppp/Auth OSR6 file
26
Changes from OSr5 ISL and system startup Kernel Console X Server and desktops Filesystems System administration Commands Documentation
27
27 Changes – ISL OSR6 uses the “no-emulation” boot cd method instead of “floppy-emulation” – may not work with very old systems that only support floppy-emulation Supports installing above 1024 cylinders/8GB boundary Prompts for installing additional HBAs during ISL Supports HBAs on CDs in addition to floppies Can defer licensing to get an eval license (press on the license screen) A mouse can be configured and tested during ISL The date and time can be set during ISL Video cards are no longer configured during ISL, they are autodetected and configured on first reboot
28
28 Changes – System Startup OSR6 autoboots by default with a [boot] prompt with a twenty- second countdown instead of the Boot: prompt in OSR5 A graphical SCO OpenServer Release 6 logo replaces the hwconfig- style hardware listing /etc/inittab is built from /etc/conf/init.d/kernel instead of /etc/conf/cf.d/init.base OSR6 is SMP-ready out of the box Auto-detects multiple CPUs at boot Licensing controls how many can be utilized Hyper-threaded and multi-core CPUs need just one license Enter PSM=atup at the boot prompt to force uni-processor only NOTE: the /etc/default/boot parameters have changed considerably, see boot(HW) for details
29
29 Changes – Kernel Dynamically loadable drivers: Allows loading of drivers without a kernel relink and reboot modadmin -s lists the loaded drivers modadmin -l mod_name loads a driver Drivers are located in /etc/conf/mod.d Kernel linking is deferred by default until reboot, use /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B to build the kernel immediately Kernel is autotuned based on the amount of memory detected at boot OSR5 drivers will not work with the new kernel, must use SVR5 drivers /dev/table and /dev/strings no longer present, use hw(ADM) and sdiconfig(ADM) to view hardware configuration
30
30 Changes – Kernel scodb has been replaced with the kdb kernel debugger Managing multi-processors has changed: psradm(ADM) for processor configuration psrinfo(ADM) for displaying processor information rtpm(ADM) for performance monitoring pbind(ADM) for locking a process to a specific CPU processors are numbered from 0 instead of 1
31
31 Changes – Console Console termtype has changed from scoansi to at386-ie Applications with “hard wired” scoansi escape sequences will not work directly on the OSR6 console (but will work in a scoterm or remote login from an OSR5 system) Applications that use terminfo/termcap will work just fine
32
32 Changes – X Server OSR6 has a brand new X Server: X.org X11R6 It is configured via /etc/xorg.conf Most video cards are automatically detected and the X Server attempts to use the highest possible resolution for your video card and monitor If you are having trouble getting the X server to run at a good resolution, try editing /etc/xorg.conf to enter the exact horizontal and vertical refresh rates for your monitor: Section “Monitor” HorizSync 31.5 – 60 VertRefresh40 - 60
33
33 Changes – Desktops In addition to the OSR5 xdt3 desktop, OSR6 has the new KDE desktop xdt3 desktop is the default Switch to the KDE desktop for all users by changing XDESKTOP in /etc/default/X11: XDESKTOP=kde3 Individual users can specify their desktop preference by setting XDESKTOP in their shell startup scripts Valid values are “xdt3” or “kde3” – they are defined in /etc/default/xdesktops, so you can add additional desktop options to this file
34
34 Changes – Filesystems OSR6 updates support for the following filesystems: VxFS (new – supports large files, the default root filesystem) HTFS (updated – journaling and versioning no longer supported) CDFS (replaces HS filesystem, updated to support Joliet) DOSFS (updated to support FAT32 and VFAT) MEMFS (new – memory/RAM filesystem) NFS (updated to v3) All the filesystems now support up to 16 divisions per partition and can be encrypted via the new -c option to the marry(ADM) command The DTFS and XENIX filesystems are no longer supported
35
35 Changes – Filesystems The Virtual Disk Manager is no longer supported AFPS is no longer supported, it has been replaced by Samba divvy now supports up to 15 user-defined divisions on each partition badblk & badtrk commands removed, their operations are now handled transparently by the system dparam & dkinit commands removed, you can no longer change or override the hard disk parameters, they will always be as set by the system BIOS
36
36 Changes – Large File Support Only supported on the VxFS filesystem Enabled by default Commands that are Large File Aware: cat(1), du(1), pathchk(1), chgrp(1), ff(1M) pax(1), chmod(1), find(1), pwd(1), chown(1) fsck(1M), cksum(1), fsdb(1M), rm(1) cmp(1), ln(1), rmdir(1), compress(1), ls(C), sum(1) cp(1), mkdir(1), rcp(1), touch(1), cpio(1), mkfs(1M), ulimit(1) dd(1M), mv(1), uncompress(1), df(1M), ncheck(1M), zcat(1) cpio(C) All except cpio(C) and ls(C) are found in /u95/bin Note: no shell support for LFS
37
37 Changes – System Administration The following SCOadmin Managers have been removed: Audit Manager Backup Manager Internet Manager Virtual Domain User Manager Audio Manager ISA PnP Configuration Manager PPP Manager PPP Connection Wizard sysadmsh all IPX/SPX-related managers all NetWare-related managers
38
38 Changes – System Administration New FTP Server Manager for configuring ftpd, including one- click setup of anonymous FTP New Hot Plug Manager for managing Hot Plug devices (memory, CPUs. etc) New Video Configuration Manager based on xorgcfg(1) The License Manager “Add Users/CPUs/Products” menu items replaced by a single “Add License” option. Plus it only shows licenses installed on the system, it no longer shows unlicensed products. most mkdev scripts are no longer needed and display information only See also the “OSR6 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting” presentation (Room 103, 3pm Tues)
39
39 Changes – Web Netscape FastTrack Server no longer supported, replaced by Apache 1.3 Netscape Communicator no longer supported, replaced by Mozilla
40
40 Changes – Commands OSR6 distributes basic system commands into three main directories: For different behaviors, set your PATH as follows: /bincommands inherited from OSR5 /u95/bincommands that conform to the UNIX95 standard, including LFS support /udk/bincommands inherited from UW7 /binTraditional OSR5 user /u95/bin:binOSR5 user who wants LFS support /udk/bin:/u95/bin:/binUser running UW7 apps
41
41 Changes – Documentation Online documentation no longer organized by books, but by topics, which allows for tighter integration of third-party documentation DocView can now print an entire topic instead of just a single section select which sections you want and DocView will display all the selected sections as one page for printing from the browser can also elect to generate a PDF or postscript file
42
Configuring new features CUPS Samba mySQL PostgreSQL Multi-path I/O
43
43 Configuring CUPS Printers To use just CUPS: edit /etc/default/lpd PRINTER_SYSTEM=CUPS the Printer Manager will automatically launch the CUPS web-based administration tool login as root and use root’s password To use both CUPS and SYSV lp (default) : edit /etc/default/lpd PRINTER_SYSTEM=SYSV the Printer Manager will manage the SYSV lp printers and to configure CUPS printers, enter the following URL in a browser: http://localhost:631 login as root and use root’s password NOTE: the CUPS administration tool only allows alpha-numeric characters in the password, so you will have to change root’s password if it contains non-alphanumeric characters
44
44 Configuring Samba Initial configuration is done via mkdev samba: workgroup name WINS configuration Security Domain or Active Directory configuration Enable and activate Samba daemon The Samba configuration file can be found in /etc/samba/smb.conf For much more info, go to the “Installing and Configuring Samba 3” presentation (Room 104, 10:15am Tues)
45
45 Configuring mySQL Initial configuration is done via mkdev mysql: define the mysql database owner and password enable/disable the server stop/start the server processes define the database location and initialize the database The mysql(1) command provides a curses-based client for connecting to a mySQL database The mysqladmin(1) command provides some administration options The mySQL configuration file can be found in /etc/my.cnf
46
46 Configuring PostgreSQL Initial configuration is done via mkdev pgsql: define the postmaster owner and password enable/disable the server stop/start the server processes define the database location and initialize the database
47
47 Multi-Path I/O MPIO allows multiple HBAs to be connected to the same hard disk Usually requires either a dual-ported device or some form of networked storage Provides redundancy, availability and load balancing A path is associated with a disk stamp and SCSI address OSR6 recognizes if a target has multiple access paths by enumerating different disk SCSI addresses with the same disk stamp Disabled by default, turn on with mkdev mpio Administered using sdipath(ADM)
