AS/400 IBM Network Station: Techniques for Deployment in a WAN
3.3.3.1 Creating a Test Directory Structure
By default, the only path in the AS/400 IFS that allows TFTP read access is
the default IBM Network Station path,
/QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation . To
avoid changing or altering the
production directory structure, create an
nsflash directory in the root of the IFS using the following command, which
allows user QTFTP access to this directory:
CHGTFTPA ALTSRCDIR('/nsflash')
Note:
TFTP has no built-in security mechanisms. Use caution to prevent the
entire IFS from being exposed to TFTP.
The following steps show how to build and place the Flash card test image in
the production directory structure. In this example, we do not create a new
directory in the root of the IFS for the test image.
Follow these steps to build a test directory structure:
1. Create a subdirectory in the AS/400 IFS called
nsflash by entering the
following command on any AS/400 command line:
CRTDIR DIR('/QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation/nsflash')
2. Create a subdirectory under nsflash called mods to contain the module
files by entering the following command:
CRTDIR DIR('/QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation/nsflash/mods')
3.3.3.2 Copying the Files to the Test Directory
Use the following steps to copy the files to the test directory structure:
1. From any AS/400 command line type:
COPY OBJ('/QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation/filename')
TODIR('/QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation/nsflash')
The filename is:
boot.nsl
kernel.Z
