Administering hosts Configuring Xprint V7.0
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 -hos in 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 -usr xprintadm -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.
