LL2133.book Page 27 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM C H A P T E R 4 4 Using Command-Line Tools Xserve can be configured remotely using command-line tools and administration applications designed to support them. This version of Mac OS X Server includes these new command-line tools: m Installer Tool m Software Update Tool m System Setup Tool m Network Setup Tool To configure a server remotely with command-line tools, you use the Terminal application on the remote computer.
LL2133.book Page 28 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM About UNIX Command-Line Structure UNIX commands share some basic conventions. First you enter the name of the tool, then any information the tool needs to carry out your request. Most tools come with help or man (short for “manual”) pages that describe how to use the tool. Help pages give an overview of arguments (also known as options or parameters) that the tool understands. Man pages give more detail and examples.
LL2133.book Page 29 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Using the Secure Shell (SSH) Command Mac OS X Server supports Secure Shell (SSH), so an administrator can log in to a remote server and send secure, encrypted commands over a network. With SSH turned on, you can use the Terminal application to open a SSH session and use the command-line tools to configure your remote server. You can also connect a terminal to Xserve through the serial port and log in using SSH.
LL2133.book Page 30 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Execute Commands Once you are logged in using SSH, you can use command-line tools to execute commands on the remote server. If you want to execute a single command on the server and then immediately log out of the server, you can do it in one step. Type your login information and the command, then press Return. For example, the command to log in to a remote server and remove a file called “Test Data” looks like this ssh -l root 192.168.100.
LL2133.book Page 31 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM If you see a warning message about a “man in the middle attack” when you try to connect using SSH, that means the RSA key fingerprint on the server and your admin computer no longer match. This can happen if you use command-line tools to administer a remote server, establish an RSA key fingerprint, and later change your SSH configuration, perform a clean install of system software, or start up from the Mac OS X Server CD.
LL2133.book Page 32 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM 2 List the volumes you currently have, as you will need the /dev/diskXsY information for each volume.
LL2133.book Page 33 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Partition Disk Drives pdisk You can use this command-line tool to remove and replace existing hard disk partitions but not to create new partitions. Make sure that the revised partitions use the same range of disk blocks as the original partitions. This guide provides information for performing some specialized tasks. To find out more, read the man pages for the tool. To use this tool: 1 Log in to the server as the root administrator.
LL2133.book Page 34 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM 3 Unmount the volume from the system. To do this, type this command, replacing with the information you found in the list (“0” is the default flag): /usr/sbin/disktool -p 0 For example, to unmount the device above, type: usr/sbin/disktool -p disk1s9 0 Note: If you have a RAID volume, you will only see /dev/diskX. If so, use “disktool -u” instead of “disktool -p” to unmount it. 4 Initialize the file system.
LL2133.book Page 35 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Step 3: Use pdisk to find unmounted volumes List all the device maps for a hard disk and choose the ones you want to mount.
LL2133.book Page 36 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Step 5: Delete the existing partitions You must delete partitions on the disk one at a time. So for each partition, when prompted, type d to delete the existing partition, specify the partition number, and then type p to print the partition map. When you’re done, you will have one partition, Apple_Free Extra.
LL2133.book Page 37 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Step 7: Add a second partition Create and name a second partition formatted as HFS out of the remaining free space listed in the partition map.
LL2133.book Page 38 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Example 2: Divide a Secondary Hard Disk Into Two Partitions In this example, you have a primary hard disk called disk 0 and a second 120 GB hard disk called disk 1 that you want to divide into two 60 GB partitions. Step 1: Start up from the hard disk Start the server from the internal hard disk. Step 2: Log in to the server Open a SSH session and log in to the server as root. Step 3: Use pdisk to find volumes List all the device maps for the volumes.
LL2133.book Page 39 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Step 5: Choose a device map to partition Use pdisk to partition the 120 GB hard disk into two 60 GB partitions. When prompted, type e and choose the disk you want to partition (in this case, /dev/rdisk2). Then type p to show the partition maps.
LL2133.book Page 40 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Step 7: Create a new partition Create a new partition for the first available block. In this example, you’ll create a block 1824 with a length of 120626448.
LL2133.book Page 41 Friday, May 24, 2002 11:17 AM Step 10: Exit Type q to exit the pdisk tool. Then use the cd command to change to the /dev directory and the ls command to list the partitions on the disk. The session looks like this: Top level command (? for help): q The end [localhost:~] root# cd /dev [localhost:/dev} root# ls disk2* disk2 disk2s1 disk2s2 Step 11: Initialize the new partitions Use newfs_hfs to initialize the partition.
