Profile Fibre Channel Server Interface

Installing the Software on the Origin Server

Follow this procedure to set up the Origin server for installation and use of the
software. The procedure is divided into the operations that are performed as “root”
and those that are performed as user “profile.”

Operations Performed as “root”

1. Add the following line to the /etc/passwd file...

profile:7XHZFbk3c0SZ6:888:88:GuestAccount:/usr/people/profile:/bin/csh

2. Create the directory /usr/people/profile and make sure it is owned by user

“profile.”

3. Add the IP address for the Fibre Channel card to the /etc/hosts file...

xxx.xxx.xxx.xx _fc0 myFC

NOTE: The alias myFC is required, as is the convention “_fc0,”
where is replaced with the name of the host machine.

Also add ethernet and fibre channel addresses for all Profile systems to which the
Origin server will connect.

4. Run inst, the install utility, to install the software from the Profile Fibre

Channel Server Interface CD-ROM. Enter the commands as shown in this
example:

# inst

Inst> from /CDROM/dist

Inst> install *

Inst> list

(i) pdrStream
(i) pdrClean
(i) pdrServer
.
.
.

Inst> go

#

Verify that you have the following command files installed in ~profile/bin

pdrcshrc

mkset

pdr

pdrClean

pdrServer

pdrStream

and that

profile_start

is installed in /etc/init.d.
