7. Because the central AS/400 SYSAS3 system was used to create the
master system wide default preferences and the grp3270 group
preferences, these configuration files must be transferred to the remote
boot server from the
master SYSAS3.
8. Although Windows Explorer can be used to drag and drop whole IFS
directories from one AS/400 system to another, in this case, we decided to
save all of the files in the path
/QIBM/UserData/NetworkStation/ and then
FTP them to the remote server.
Note:
Alternatively, if you know which files are affected and there are only
a few of them, FTP the specific configuration files instead.
On the source system, after creating a group’s save file in the WORKLIB
library, run the following command to
save the files in the
/QIBM/UserData/NetworkStation IFS path to the save file:
SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/WORKLIB.LIB/groups.file')
OBJ(('/QIBM/UserData/NetworkStation/*')) DTACPR(*YES)
On the source system, start an FTP session to the target system and then
use the following commands to transfer the IFS files to a save file in the
existing library as4worklib:
bin
cd /QSYS.LIB/as4work.lib/
lcd worklib put groups
On the target system, issue the following command to restore the files:
RST DEV('/QSYS.LIB/as4work.lib/groups.file')
OBJ(('/QIBM/UserData/NetworkStation/*')) ALWOBJDIF(*ALL)
If the desired group profile (such as grp3270) does not already exist on the
target system, create the group profile now. For users on the SYSAS4
(target) system to utilize the group preferences, their user profiles on that
target system
must have the group profile named in the GRPPRF field.
9. Ensure that the DHCP server options are set up correctly on SYSAS1 so
that the IBM Network Stations in Rochester have SYSAS4 system defined
as their base code server. For example, option 66 needs to point to
different TFTP servers to allow the IBM Network Stations in different
remote sites to obtain their base code from the appropriate server. For
more details on DHCP configuration, refer to the manual,
