Installing Advanced Server for UNIX Installing the prerequisited packages

Product Manual U7613-J-Z815-6-76

In the case of multiprocessor systems the parallel NetBIOS is installed automatically, which

increases performance.

Please deinstall the previous version of LAN Manager/X or Advanced Server for

UNIX.

A new UNIX kernel is generated during installation; the file mtune is modified here.

Now install NetBIOS, working through the following steps:

Ê Log on to the system console as system administrator root.

Ê Start installation with the cdinst command and carry out the first steps as described in

the section “Installing from CD-ROM with cdinst“.

Ê Select nbrfc for the NetBIOS software from the selection list for the packages.

● Do not under any circumstances select the option Complete Product if you are

installing using cdinst.

● The nbrfc package must be installed before the rest of the software.

The system will now copy the files from the data medium, set up NetBIOS for all network

controllers in the system automatically, and generate a new UNIX kernel. This process will

be displayed on the screen, though it may take a little time.

The configuration data is stored in the /var/opt/nbrfc/conf/interfaces.cfg file during installation.

If a file already exists, it will not be overwritten.

If you are installing a backup domain controller, the local machine will need to be able to

find the primary domain controller during installation of the asxserver package. Therefore, if

you are installing a backup domain controller and the primary controller of the domain you

want to join is located in a different subnet, you have to ensure that the domain name and

the server name can be resolved by the local NetBIOS. This can be accomplished in the

following ways:

To ensure that the primary domain controller can be found if WINS is not used:

Ê If the file names.cfg in the directory /var/opt/nbrfc/conf does not exist, create it by copying

the names.sam file in the same directory.

Ê Edit the names.cfg file and manually add two lines containing NetBIOS-name-to-IP-

address mappings:
