This chapter provides information about installing
|
|
FDDIXPress software.
|
|
The information listed here is product-specific;
|
|
for general information about installing software,
|
|
refer to the
|
|
\f2Software Installation Administrator's Guide\fP
|

The FDDIXPress product consists of a hardware component
|
|
and a software component.
|
|
The hardware component is an FDDI board; the software
|
|
is on the CD-ROM.
|
|
To install the product, follow the procedures
|
|
in the overview below. The procedures must be followed in the
|
|
order they are listed.
|
|
.AL
|
|
.LI
|
|
Install the software, using the instructions in this document in
|
|
Section 2.2, ``Installing FDDIXPress Software\f1.''
|

.LI
|
|
Configure the software, using the instructions in section 2.3,
|
|
``Configuring the FDDIXPress Software.''
|

.H 2 "General Installation Information"
|
|
This section contains general information about the FDDIXPress software.
|
|
This information is useful during installation and configuration.
|
|
.H 3 "FDDI Network Interface Names"
|
|
Each type of FDDIXPress board has its own
|
|
network interface software.
|
|
During development, each network interface is given a name.
|
|
The FDDI interface names that have been shipped
|
|
with this release are specified below:
|
|
.VL 9
|
|
.LI "\f2rns#\f1"
|
|
for O2, Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE platforms.
|
|
The first FDDIXPress board found is assigned the name \f2rns0\f1.
|
|
The second board
|
|
is assigned the name \f2xpirns\f1, and so on.
|
|
.LI "\f2xpi#\f1"
|
|
for IRIS Indigo, Indigo\s-4\u2\d\s+4, CHALLENGE, and Onyx platforms.
|
|
The first FDDIXPress board found is assigned the name \f2xpi0\f1.
|
|
(or second port of dual-port boards such as those the FDDIXPHID)
|
|
On Indigo\s-4\u2\d\s+4 and CHALLENGE M machines, the system
|
|
searches for the FDDIXPress boards in the GIO option slots in the
|
|
following order: top slot first, middle slot second, bottom slot last.
|
|
.LI "\f2ipg#\f1"
|
|
for VMEbus systems, including CHALLENGE L,
|
|
and CHALLENGE XL.
|
|
The board's jumper-configured unit number determines
|
|
the final number on
|
|
the interface name
|
|
(for example, \f2ipg0\f1, \f2ipg1\f1, \f2ipg2\f1, etc.).

.\" Visual System Administration Tools" or "This subsystem is useful only
|
|
.\" if you want to display Kanji characters" would be nice. For subsystems

|
You do not need to use the miniroot, although you may do so, if convenient
|
|
as part of an operating system upgrade.

peripheral device, from a remote peripheral device,

from a remote Ethernet boot server (distribution directory), from
|
|
a local distribution directory. These methods are summarized and

.H 4 "Configuring FDDI as Secondary and Ethernet as Primary"
|
|
This section provides instructions to configure your system so the
|
|
FDDI connection serves as the secondary network interface and
|
|
Ethernet is the primary one. This configuration is recommended for
|
|
diskless workstations.
|
|
.sp
|
|
When FDDI is the secondary interface, the
|
|
system does not make the most efficient use of the FDDI connection.
|
|
For workstations with disks, it is recommended that the
|
|
FDDI network interface be configured as
|
|
the primary interface.

.H 2 "Configuring a Diskless Station"
|
|
A diskless FDDI station must be configured in accord with the guidelines
|
|
in this section.
|
|
.AL
|
|
.LI
|
|
The station must have either two network interfaces
|
|
(an Ethernet from which to boot and an FDDI)
|
|
or a local CD-ROM player from which to boot and an FDDI interface.
|
|
The remaining text and guidelines apply only to stations that boot
|
|
over an Ethernet.
|
|
.P
|
|
A diskless workstation (client) must boot (from its server) over
|
|
its Ethernet connection,
|
|
hence, the diskless station must have both
|
|
Ethernet and
|
|
FDDI connections, if it wants to use resources on an FDDI network.
|
|
Use the command below to display the station's network interfaces, then
|
|
verify that one of the IP addresses in the display is for an Ethernet and
|
|
one is for an FDDI local area network:
|
|
.rs
|
|
.sp +.03i
|
|
\s-1\f7% \f8/usr/etc/netstat -in
|
|
.Ee
|
|
.LI
|
|
The \f2netaddr\f1 value in NVRAM must be an Ethernet IP address.
|
|
.P
|
|
The station's PROM must use the
|
|
Ethernet connection
|
|
for booting over the network.
|
|
To verify that the system's PROM can access the Ethernet,
|
|
use the commands below.
|
|
The output from \f2netaddr\f1 and the \f2inet\f1 value must match.
|
|
.sp +.03i
|
|
\s-1\f7% \f8/etc/nvram netaddr
|
|
.br
|
|
\f2xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

inet \f2xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx . . .\f1
|
|
.Ee
|
|
.LI
|
|
Ethernet must be configured as the primary network interface.
|
|
.P
|
|
Once the PROM has loaded the miniroot (bootstrap kernel) from the boot server,
|
|
control is passed to the miniroot.
|
|
At this point, the diskless client is known to the
|
|
boot server by the IP address in the NVRAM.
|
|
If this address were to change at this point,
|
|
the server would become confused and the boot process would not complete.
|
|
The best and easiest way to prevent this from happening
|
|
is to configure Ethernet
|
|
(and build the miniroot with Ethernet)
|
|
as the primary network interface.
|
|
.P
|
|
To verify that Ethernet is configured as the primary network interface
|
|
and FDDI is the secondary, use the commands below,
|
|
where \f2Ethernetinterface\f1 is ec0, enp0, et0, ef0
|
|
or another Ethernet interface and \f2FDDIinterface\f1 is rns\f2#\f1

|
|
Once the miniroot is in control, the booting procedure is
|
|
completed using NFS\(rg over the network interface that the
|
|
station's route daemon indicates is the shortest path to the boot server.
|
|
If you want booting to complete over the FDDI network, use a \f2route\f1
|
|
command in a configuration file to force the route daemon (\f2routed\f1)
|
|
to believe that the shortest route
|
|
to the boot server is over the FDDI network interface.
|
|
See the man pages for \f2routed\f1(1M) and \f2route\f1(1M) for details.
