Agenda

Migrating from OSR5 Changes to be aware of Configuring the new features SCO Global Services

Migrating from OSR5

• Hardware configuration• User accounts• Mail• User and application data• Network configuration

4

Migrating Hardware Configuration

The new SVR5 kernel should recognize and automatically configure all your hardware devices – you no longer need to manually configure hardware devices

Sound Cards: only Intel ICH4 and prior chipsets that comply with the

AC’97 standard are supported at this time – they will be detected and automatically configured at boot

Printers: use the Printer Manager to re-create your printer setup

5

Migrating Hardware Configuration

Serial Cards: All supported serial cards are now auto-detected at boot, you no

longer need to add or configure them in the Serial Manager However, you must run the Serial Manager at least once to

create the devices nodes and configure the ports controlled by the serial cards before you can start using them

Serial cards with 3rd party drivers will need a new SVR5 driver

Modems: Configured as usual through the Modem Configuration

Manager PC Card (PCMCIA) modems must be configured using the DCU

6

Migrating Hardware Configuration

Mass Storage Devices: should be auto-detected and configured at boot time – use

the DCU to configure HBAs that were not auto-detected use mkdev hd to view detected hard disks and configure

filesystems on them (or run fdisk and divvy manually) use mkdev cdrom to view detected CD-ROM drives use mkdev tape to view detected tape drives. Most tape

drives supported on OSR5 are also supported on OSR6 except some floppy-tape (QIC-80) devices

7

Migrating Hardware Configuration – Device Nodes

In general OSR6 supports both OSR5-style and SVR5-style (UnixWare) device nodes

For hard disk nodes, a combination is used: Partitions are OSR5-style:

/dev/[r]hdXY X is the physical disk number/dev/dsk/XsY Y is the partition number

Divisions (slices) are SVR5-style:/dev/[r]dsk/cXbXtXdXsZ/dev/[r]dsk/cXbXtXdXpYsZ

X is the SCSI address as output by /etc/scsi/sdiconfig –lY is the partition numberZ is the division (slice) number

8

Migrating User Accounts

Archive accounts and group membership on the OSR5 system:

ap –d -g –v > profile.acct

Restore the accounts on the OSR6 system. OSR5 and OSR6 treat long passwords differently, so there are two methods for restoring your account details:1. truncate the long passwords to 8 characters:

ap –r –f profile.acct

2. specify a new default password for all accounts with long passwords only:

ap –r –f profile.acct –p password

9

Migrating Mail

User inboxes: copy /usr/spool/mail from OSR5 to /var/mail on the OSR6

system

MMDF configuration: copy only the following files from OSR5 to the OSR6 system:

/usr/mmdf/mmdtailor /usr/mmdf/table/*.chn /usr/mmdf/table/*.dom /usr/mmdf/table/alias.* /usr/spool/mmdf/lock/home/q.*

on the OSR6 system, enter the following commands: su mmdf cd /usr/mmdf/table ./dbmbuild exit

10

Migrating Mail

SendMail configuration: merge the contents of the OSR5 configuration

files with the new OSR6 files, do not simply copy them:OSR5 OSR6

/usr/lib/sendmail.d/access /etc/mail/access

/usr/lib/sendmail.d/aliases /etc/mail/aliases

/usr/lib/sendmail.d/domains /etc/mail/domaintable

/usr/lib/sendmail.d/local-hosts-names

/etc/mail/local-hosts-names

11

Migrating Mail

To preserve vacation notifications and custom forwarding, copy the following files from each user’s home directory MMDF:

~/.maildelivery~/.alter_egos~/tripnote~/triplog

SendMail:~/.forward~/.vacation.msg

12

Migrating User Data

You can migrate your user data either via a backup tape or mounting the existing OSR5 disk on OSR6

Creating a backup tape is the recommended method because it allows you to restore to a VxFS filesystem and take advantage of large file support

Either use a 3rd party backup solution that is supported on both platforms (eg. BackupEdge or LoneTar) or use the cpio command

To restore an OSR5 cpio archive on OSR6: cpio –iAmudB –I<backup_device>

13

Migrating User Data – Mount OSR5 disk

To mount an existing OSR5 disk (5.0.6 or 5.0.7 only), you must first install the wd Supplement on the OSR5 system

Connect the drive to the OSR6 system After booting, login as root and run the

command getlclfsdev to determine the /dev/dsk device nodes for the filesystems on the disk

Use the Filesystem Manager to mount the filesystems

14

Migrating Networking

The loopback interface is no longer presented in the Network Configuration Manager

The “Add New WAN Connection” menu item has been removed from the Network Configuration Manager

SCO PPP is no longer supported, PPP is provided by Morning Star PPP

SLIP is no longer supported Netware and IPX/SPX are no longer supported

15

Migrating Networking: TCP/IP

On the OSR5 system, use the netstat –rn command and note the hostname, domain name, IP address, netmask, broadcast address and frame type of the existing network interfaces

On the OSR6 system, enter these values at ISL or via the Network Configuration Manager after ISL

Migrate the following configuration files (merge with existing files, do not simply copy):

/etc/hosts Hostnames and IP addresses

/etc/default/tcp TCP/IP configuration file

/etc/tcp TCP/IP configuration file

/etc/inetd.conf Services available through inetd

16

Migrating Networking: DHCP

To migrate your DHCP Server configuration, copy /etc/inet/dhcpd.conf to the OSR6 system

To migrate your Address Allocation Server (AAS) configuration, copy /etc/inet/aasd.conf to the OSR6 system

17

Migrating Networking: Routing

gated and routed have been updated in OSR6. The new routed adds RIPv2 support and both can do router discovery

The new command rtquery allows you to query the routing daemons and provides additional control over routed

Migrate the following configuration files:

/etc/gated.conf gated configuration – do not simply copy, changes are needed, see gated.conf(SFF)

/etc/gateways routed configuration, copy to /etc/inet/gateways – supports many more keywords, see routed(ADMN)

/etc/gated.bgp BGP configuration

/etc/gated.egp EGP configuration

/etc/gated.ospf OSPF configuration

/etc/gated.rip RIP configuration

18

Migrating Networking: DNS

DNS has been updated to BIND 8.4.4 in OSR6, which includes security fixes and new features

Copy the following configuration files:

Then use the ndc restart command to restart named

/etc/named.conf named configuration

/etc/resolv.conf Resolver configuration

/etc/named.d/* DNS data files

19

Migrating NIS

NIS is unchanged in OSR6 There are no configuration files to migrate

over (assuming you already migrated over the user accounts using ap).

Run the ypinit command to configure NIS:-m configure as a master server-s master configure as a slave server-c master configure as a copy-only server-C configure as a client

20

Migrating UUCP

UUCP is unchanged in OSR6 Copy the following configuration files:

/usr/lib/uucp/Devices/usr/lib/uucp/Permissions/usr/lib/uucp/Poll/usr/lib/uucp/Systems

21

Migrating an FTP Server

ftpd has been updated to version 2.4 in OSR6, it includes security fixes and additional features

New FTP Server Manager can be used to configure ftpd

Migrate the following configuration files:/etc/ftpusers merge with existing file in OSR6

/etc/shells merge with existing file in OSR6

/etc/ftpconv merge with existing file in OSR6

/etc/ftpaccess syntax has changed for:private keywordupload keyword

22

Migrating NFS

NFS has been updated to NFSv3 in OSR6, its substantially different from the NFSv2 in OSR5

automount no longer looks at the NIS auto.master map file unless the following line is added to /etc/auto.master

+auto.master Use the information in the OSR5 configurations files to edit the OSR6

files, you cannot simply copy the configuration files from OSR5 to OSR6:

/etc/default/filesys

Used by client to define the systems to be mounted. The device names will differ on OSR6.

/etc/exportfs Used by the server to define filesystems that clients can mount. The device names will differ on OSR6.

/etc/auto.master Lists initial automount configuration

/etc/auto.direct Lists direct automount configuration

/etc/auto.indirect Lists indirect automount configuration

23

Migrating NTP

NTP is basically the same on OSR5 and OSR6

The default configuration file (ntp.conf) is the same on both platforms, but is now located in /etc/inet/ntp.conf instead of /etc/ntp.conf

You will also need to copy over any files containing authentication keys and create any log files defined in ntp.conf

24

Migrating PPP

SCO PPP has been replaced by SCO Morning Star PPP

There is no graphical administration tool for Morning Star PPP

If you were already using Morning Star PPP on OSR5, you can simply copy the following files:

/usr/lib/mstppp/Autostart/usr/lib/mstppp/Accounts /usr/lib/mstppp/Auth/usr/lib/mstppp/Systems/usr/lib/mstppp/Devices/usr/lib/mstppp/Dialers.local/usr/lib/mstppp/exec.in/*/usr/lib/mstppp/exec.out/*

25

Migrating PPP

To migrate from SCO PPP to Morning Star PPP, save the following files from the OSR5 system for reference: /etc/ppphosts /etc/pppauth

For outbound connections: use the host entries in the OSR5 /etc/ppphosts file when

editing the /usr/lib/mstppp/Systems OSR6 file use the PAP/CHAP information in the OSR5 /etc/pppauth file

for the /usr/lib/mstppp/Auth OSR6 file For inbound connections:

use the host entries in the OSR5 /etc/ppphosts file when editing the /usr/lib/mstppp/Accounts OSR6 file

use the PAP/CHAP information in the OSR5 /etc/pppauth file for the /usr/lib/mstppp/Auth OSR6 file

Changes from OSr5

• ISL and system startup• Kernel• Console• X Server and desktops

• Filesystems• System administration• Commands• Documentation

27

Changes – ISL

OSR6 uses the “no-emulation” boot cd method instead of “floppy-emulation” – may not work with very old systems that only support floppy-emulation

Supports installing above 1024 cylinders/8GB boundary

Prompts for installing additional HBAs during ISL Supports HBAs on CDs in addition to floppies Can defer licensing to get an eval license (press

<F8> on the license screen) A mouse can be configured and tested during ISL The date and time can be set during ISL Video cards are no longer configured during ISL,

they are autodetected and configured on first reboot

28

Changes – System Startup

OSR6 autoboots by default with a [boot] prompt with a twenty-second countdown instead of the Boot: prompt in OSR5

A graphical SCO OpenServer Release 6 logo replaces the hwconfig-style hardware listing

/etc/inittab is built from /etc/conf/init.d/kernel instead of /etc/conf/cf.d/init.base

OSR6 is SMP-ready out of the box Auto-detects multiple CPUs at boot Licensing controls how many can be utilized Hyper-threaded and multi-core CPUs need just one license Enter PSM=atup at the boot prompt to force uni-processor only

NOTE: the /etc/default/boot parameters have changed considerably, see boot(HW) for details

29

Changes – Kernel

Dynamically loadable drivers: Allows loading of drivers without a kernel relink and

reboot modadmin -s lists the loaded drivers modadmin -l mod_name loads a driver Drivers are located in /etc/conf/mod.d

Kernel linking is deferred by default until reboot, use /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B to build the kernel immediately

Kernel is autotuned based on the amount of memory detected at boot

OSR5 drivers will not work with the new kernel, must use SVR5 drivers

/dev/table and /dev/strings no longer present, use hw(ADM) and sdiconfig(ADM) to view hardware configuration

30

Changes – Kernel

scodb has been replaced with the kdb kernel debugger

Managing multi-processors has changed: psradm(ADM) for processor configuration psrinfo(ADM) for displaying processor

information rtpm(ADM) for performance monitoring pbind(ADM) for locking a process to a specific

CPU processors are numbered from 0 instead of 1

31

Changes – Console

Console termtype has changed from scoansi to at386-ie

Applications with “hard wired” scoansi escape sequences will not work directly on the OSR6 console (but will work in a scoterm or remote login from an OSR5 system)

Applications that use terminfo/termcap will work just fine

32

Changes – X Server

OSR6 has a brand new X Server: X.org X11R6 It is configured via /etc/xorg.conf Most video cards are automatically detected and

the X Server attempts to use the highest possible resolution for your video card and monitor

If you are having trouble getting the X server to run at a good resolution, try editing /etc/xorg.conf to enter the exact horizontal and vertical refresh rates for your monitor:

Section “Monitor”

HorizSync 31.5 – 60

VertRefresh 40 - 60

33

Changes – Desktops

In addition to the OSR5 xdt3 desktop, OSR6 has the new KDE desktop

xdt3 desktop is the default Switch to the KDE desktop for all users by changing

XDESKTOP in /etc/default/X11: XDESKTOP=kde3

Individual users can specify their desktop preference by setting XDESKTOP in their shell startup scripts

Valid values are “xdt3” or “kde3” – they are defined in /etc/default/xdesktops, so you can add additional desktop options to this file

34

Changes – Filesystems

OSR6 updates support for the following filesystems: VxFS (new – supports large files, the default root filesystem) HTFS (updated – journaling and versioning no longer supported) CDFS (replaces HS filesystem, updated to support Joliet) DOSFS (updated to support FAT32 and VFAT) MEMFS (new – memory/RAM filesystem) NFS (updated to v3)

All the filesystems now support up to 16 divisions per partition and can be encrypted via the new -c option to the marry(ADM) command

The DTFS and XENIX filesystems are no longer supported

35

Changes – Filesystems

The Virtual Disk Manager is no longer supported AFPS is no longer supported, it has been replaced

by Samba divvy now supports up to 15 user-defined divisions

on each partition badblk & badtrk commands removed, their

operations are now handled transparently by the system

dparam & dkinit commands removed, you can no longer change or override the hard disk parameters, they will always be as set by the system BIOS

36

Changes – Large File Support

Only supported on the VxFS filesystem Enabled by default Commands that are Large File Aware:

cat(1), du(1), pathchk(1), chgrp(1), ff(1M) pax(1), chmod(1), find(1), pwd(1), chown(1) fsck(1M), cksum(1), fsdb(1M), rm(1) cmp(1), ln(1), rmdir(1), compress(1), ls(C), sum(1) cp(1), mkdir(1), rcp(1), touch(1), cpio(1), mkfs(1M), ulimit(1) dd(1M), mv(1), uncompress(1), df(1M), ncheck(1M), zcat(1) cpio(C)

All except cpio(C) and ls(C) are found in /u95/bin Note: no shell support for LFS

37

Changes – System Administration

The following SCOadmin Managers have been removed: Audit Manager Backup Manager Internet Manager Virtual Domain User Manager Audio Manager ISA PnP Configuration Manager PPP Manager PPP Connection Wizard sysadmsh all IPX/SPX-related managers all NetWare-related managers

38

Changes – System Administration

New FTP Server Manager for configuring ftpd, including one-click setup of anonymous FTP

New Hot Plug Manager for managing Hot Plug devices (memory, CPUs. etc)

New Video Configuration Manager based on xorgcfg(1) The License Manager “Add Users/CPUs/Products” menu

items replaced by a single “Add License” option. Plus it only shows licenses installed on the system, it no longer shows unlicensed products.

most mkdev scripts are no longer needed and display information only

See also the “OSR6 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting” presentation (Room 103, 3pm Tues)

39

Changes – Web

Netscape FastTrack Server no longer supported, replaced by Apache 1.3

Netscape Communicator no longer supported, replaced by Mozilla

40

Changes – Commands

OSR6 distributes basic system commands into three main directories:

For different behaviors, set your PATH as follows:

/bin commands inherited from OSR5

/u95/bin commands that conform to the UNIX95 standard, including LFS support

/udk/bin commands inherited from UW7

/bin Traditional OSR5 user

/u95/bin:bin OSR5 user who wants LFS support

/udk/bin:/u95/bin:/bin

User running UW7 apps

41

Changes – Documentation

Online documentation no longer organized by books, but by topics, which allows for tighter integration of third-party documentation

DocView can now print an entire topic instead of just a single section select which sections you want and DocView will

display all the selected sections as one page for printing from the browser

can also elect to generate a PDF or postscript file

Configuring new features

• CUPS• Samba• mySQL• PostgreSQL• Multi-path I/O

43

Configuring CUPS Printers

To use just CUPS: edit /etc/default/lpd PRINTER_SYSTEM=CUPS the Printer Manager will automatically launch the CUPS web-

based administration tool login as root and use root’s password

To use both CUPS and SYSV lp (default) : edit /etc/default/lpd PRINTER_SYSTEM=SYSV the Printer Manager will manage the SYSV lp printers and to

configure CUPS printers, enter the following URL in a browser: http://localhost:631 login as root and use root’s password

NOTE: the CUPS administration tool only allows alpha-numeric characters in the password, so you will have to change root’s password if it contains non-alphanumeric characters

44

Configuring Samba

Initial configuration is done via mkdev samba: workgroup name WINS configuration Security Domain or Active Directory configuration Enable and activate Samba daemon

The Samba configuration file can be found in /etc/samba/smb.conf

For much more info, go to the “Installing and Configuring Samba 3” presentation(Room 104, 10:15am Tues)

45

Configuring mySQL

Initial configuration is done via mkdev mysql: define the mysql database owner and password enable/disable the server stop/start the server processes define the database location and initialize the database

The mysql(1) command provides a curses-based client for connecting to a mySQL database

The mysqladmin(1) command provides some administration options

The mySQL configuration file can be found in /etc/my.cnf

46

Configuring PostgreSQL

Initial configuration is done via mkdev pgsql: define the postmaster owner and password enable/disable the server stop/start the server processes define the database location and initialize the

database

47

Multi-Path I/O

MPIO allows multiple HBAs to be connected to the same hard disk

Usually requires either a dual-ported device or some form of networked storage

Provides redundancy, availability and load balancing A path is associated with a disk stamp and SCSI

address OSR6 recognizes if a target has multiple access paths by

enumerating different disk SCSI addresses with the same disk stamp

Disabled by default, turn on with mkdev mpio Administered using sdipath(ADM)
