Administering hosts Configuring Xprint V7.0
● If the database was not installed in the course of product installation or has
failed for any reason, you must initialize it now as follows:
/var/spool/Xprint/config/bin/DBinstall -f
● Start the Xprint V7.0 system:
xpstart
Now define the new Xprint V7.0 administrator if you do not want to perform this
task any longer as root on the host now defined as the primary master. In this
manual the user ID xprintadm is used as an example ID for the Xprint V7.0
administrator. To configure the Xprint V7.0 administrator proceed as follows:
● Define the Xprint V7.0 administrator xprintadm as a user of this host (e.g.
using the administrator interface sysadm).
● Add the user xprintadm to the Xprint V7.0 configuration:
xpadd -usr xprintadm
● Modify the Xprint V7.0 configuration such that xprintadm becomes the new
Xprint V7.0 administrator:
xpmod -sys -ad xprintadm
Once you have performed these steps, you, as the Xprint V7.0 administrator,
can configure printers and other Xprint V7.0 objects on the host.
6.1.2 Configuring a new host
Configuration hints
Xprint V7.0 allows interoperability between different administrative domains,
which need to be connected by gateways. All the hosts in an administrative
domain share the same database contents. Each definition of an Xprint V7.0
object or change of state involves a database update, which must be reflected
on each host in the domain. This database propagation mechanism requires a
reasonably fast network, which will allow connections to be opened quickly and
rapid data transfer.
The required data transfer rate between hosts is in the order of megabits per
second. A typical example of such a network is Ethernet. Different domains can
be connected by slower networks (possibly wide area networks) as there is
generally less traffic between domains than within a domain.
