Setting up the primary server

  1. Complete the installation of the primary InfoPrint server using the most recent Service DVD-ROM.
  2. Complete the following configuration procedure on the primary InfoPrint server:

    Invoke the SMIT panel directly from the AIX command line by specifying either smit iprufst_secondary or smitty iprufst_secondary, or access the InfoPrint Utilities main menu:

    • If you have an InfoPrint Manager icon on your front panel, open InfoPrint Manager's menu and click InfoPrint SMIT. Then click InfoPrint Utilities. Click Configure Secondary Servers (NFS).
    • If you do not have an InfoPrint Manager icon on your front panel, open the InfoPrint folder in the Application Manager and double click InfoPrint SMIT. Then click InfoPrint Utilities. Click Configure Secondary Servers (NFS).

      Select Link from Primary Server to Secondary Server.

      Provide the information about your secondary system as prompted.

    Or use the command-line script:

    1. Open a terminal window.
    2. Run the command: cd /usr/lpp/Infoprint/install/bin
    3. To configure the secondary servers via NFS, you need to link from the Primary Server to Secondary Server using the following command: 

      ./link2srvr.ksh [-h secondary_hostname] -c -[r|t]

      where

      • h secondary_hostname specifies the Secondary Server Host Name
      • c specifies that /ipdata is needed
      • r|t where r specifies to retain secondary servers previously defines, while t does not retain
    Important: If the /ipdata file system was not allocated on the primary server, you must perform the necessary steps to make /ipdata accessible to all InfoPrint servers before proceeding. This is necessary, for example, if you have elected to use a PC to store shared information instead of your primary server.
