Mackie V7.0 Administering servers Configuring Xprint Procedure, Adding a completely new server

Administering servers Configuring Xprint V7.0

Procedure

There are two possible ways of adding a server to the system: you can either add a completely new server to the system with the xpadd -srvcommand, or you can copy an existing server with the xpcopy -srvcommand and then modify the relevant attributes.

If you want to allow administrators of other hosts to assign supervisors to a new server, you must define a corresponding permission list. This is described in the section “Creating a permission list” on page 144.

Adding a completely new server

●To add a new server to the system, use the following command: xpadd -srvserver_name [-hohost_name]

For server_name specify a unique name for the new server. If the name already exists, the command is rejected.

host_name represents the name of the remote host on which the server is to be added. Only the Xprint V7.0 administrator can add a server on a remote host, but root and subroot can administer this server.

●Activate the server: xpchange -srv server_name

You must run this command, as every new server is first set to OFF for all its states (-st, -si, -so) and is therefore not available in the system. The servers are activated automatically when Xprint V7.0 is started (xpstart command).

When a server is activated for the first time, Xprint V7.0 creates in the opt/Xprint/SV directory a subdirectory for this server which contains its name, unless there is already a directory with the same name.

When adding a new server, you can also use the options -spscheduling and -upuser_privileges to define which scheduling policy is to be used and which users can assign supervisors to the server (see section “Administering permission lists” on page 143). For more detailed information refer to the “Xprint V7.0 - Reference Manual”.
