The installation of NFS is an integral part of the POSIX installation program. The steps making up the installation procedure are described in the following.
Network connection
Integration of the BS2000 computer into a TCP/IP network is prerequisite for the use of NFS.
Loading the delivery unit files
The files of the NFS delivery unit must be loaded under the default user ID ($.). The installation must be carried out with the IMON installation monitor.
The NFS delivery unit comprises the following files:
| Library containing commands, daemons, scripts etc. |
| IMON information file |
Installing and starting POSIX
Refer here also to the manual "POSIX Basics".
Authorization:
The BS2000 privilege TSOS (linked to the user ID TSOS), the BS2000 privilege SUBSYSTEM-ADMINISTRATION and root authorization for the POSIX file system are required for installing and starting POSIX.
An installation program is supplied with POSIX. This program allows the following operations:
installation of the POSIX subsystem (Install POSIX subsystem)
administration of the POSIX file systems (Administer POSIX file systems)
installation of the POSIX program packages (Install packages on POSIX)
de-installation of the POSIX program packages (Delete packages from POSIX))
After initial installation of POSIX has been completed, the POSIX subsystem is active and the POSIX file systems / (root directory) and /var have been set up.
The POSIX subsystem can now be activated and deactivated as required. The following SDF commands can be used for this purpose:
| Activate the POSIX subsystem Deactivate the POSIX subsystem Information about the POSIX subsystem Display status of the POSIX subsystem |
The initial installation of POSIX must be completed and the POSIX subsystem must be active before the POSIX program package NFS can be installed.
Modifying parameters
Parameters, such as the port monitoring facility, are modified in the information fileSYSSSI.POSIX-BC.vvv. The modified parameters take effect the next time the POSIX subsystem is started.
Installing NFS
Authorization:
Installing of NFS requires the BS2000 privilege POSIX-ADMINISTRATION and Root authorization. Both applies to the BS2000 user IDs TSOS and SYSROOT, by default.
NFS is installed using the POSIX installation program. Enter the following command:
/START-POSIX-INSTALLATION
The following main menu is then displayed:
