FIGURE 6.26 TSCOMMON.CONF FILE

When this file is included, unit1 would read only the information between “conf.host_config unit1” and

conf.host_config unit2". Unit2 would use only the information between “conf.host_config unit2” and conf.host_config

unit3" and unit3 would use information after “conf.host_config unit3” and before conf.host_config .end.

The following steps should be followed to use centralized configuration

1. Create and save the /etc/portslave/pslave.conf and /etc/hostname files in each Cyclades-TS

2. Execute the command signal_ras hup on each unit.

3. Create and save the common configuration file on the server, then download it (probably using scp) to each

unit. Make sure to put it in the directory set in the pslave.conf file (/etc/portslave in the example).

4. Execute the command signal_ras hup on each unit again.

5. Test each unit. If everything works, add the line /etc/portslave/TScommon.conf to the /etc/config_files file.

Save the file and close it. Next, execute the saveconf command.

NOTE: The included file /etc/portslave/TScommon.conf cannot contain another include file (i.e. the parameter

conf.include must not be defined).
