Mackie manual Introducing Xprint V7.0 into a network, 103

Configuring Xprint V7.0 Administering hosts (users only)

To rename a host computer, proceed as follows:

●Log in to the system as the system administrator (root).

●Stop the Xprint V7.0 system: xpstop

●Rename the host:

xppatch -hostname oldname newname [-dg n]

oldname is the host name to be changed, newname is the name that is to replace oldname.

The -dgn option allows you to control the error message output of the xppatch command. For n use the values 0, 1 or 2, where 0 causes only error messages to be written to stderr, while 1 and 2 cause any additional messages to be output during command execution to log the process.

6.2.2Introducing Xprint V7.0 into a network

Introducing Xprint V7.0 into an existing network or configuring a new network for Xprint V7.0 is in most cases done by one person, who is referred to below as the Xprint V7.0 administrator. This section is only intended for the Xprint V7.0 administrator. The Xprint V7.0 administrator may be someone who is only responsible for managing Xprint V7.0 or he/she may be one of the system administrators of the computers involved. If you, as the Xprint V7.0 adminis- trator, want to introduce Xprint V7.0 into an existing network, you must perform the following tasks in the order given below:

–first study the network structure

–define a (primary) master host which first manages the Xprint V7.0 database (later you can specify additional computers which are to serve as reserve masters in case the defined master fails). For more information on the host hierarchy see the section “Xprint V7.0 objects” on page 9.

–configure Xprint V7.0 on the (primary) master host and define a user ID for the Xprint V7.0 administrator

–configure the other systems in the network by adding them to the existing network

Then you or the respective system administrators must configure the individual printers by adding them to the Xprint V7.0 configuration.
