Administering hosts Configuring Xprint V7.0

i

If a computer has been set up as a PARASITE host, its supporting host must be running and Xprint V7.0 must be active on it for the PARASITE host to be able to access Xprint V7.0. Both systems must have the same hardware. The administrator must make sure that the supporting host exports the /var/spool/Xprint/config/DB directory to the PARASITE host and enters it in the parasite host’s directory under the same name. The export and entry in the directory must be done manually by the administrator.

You can also specify additional options which above all affect the host hierarchy and which might depend on the network structure (see the description of the command xpadd -hosin the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”).

●If the Xprint V7.0 administrator is also to manage Xprint V7.0 from other hosts, use the following command:

xpmod -usrxprintadm -ho+host_names

For host_names you specify all hosts on which the administrator is to be known.

●Log in to the new system as root.

●Define the Xprint V7.0 administrator as a system user there, if required (e.g. via the administrator interface sysadm).

●Configure the network services for the communication with Xprint V7.0 (/etc/services file, see section “Configuring the local area network (LAN)” on page 235).

●Initialize the database on the new host with the following command:

/var/spool/Xprint/config/bin/DBinstall -h host_name where host_name represents the name of an already active host.

●Start the Xprint V7.0 system:

xpstart

Once all these operations have been carried out successfully, you can configure printers and other Xprint V7.0 objects on this host. The new host is now part of the Xprint V7.0 configuration.
