Solaris Customization on CLON Cluster

• start Ntp services

• configure printers ( see Troubleshooting printing)

• install mysql to /usr; mysql already installed in /opt/sfw/, but verion is different then on out Linux machines, and we want to have the same version everywhere; follow instructions in MySQL Installation

• configure X server if necessary, usually you want to adjust resolution/depth on Sparc-based workstations, and set appropriate monitors alignment for multi-head systems

• install required Tcl/Tk packages

• install required PERL modules

• make sure that accounts 'clasrun', 'clascron', 'clasmail' can ssh without password, it is important for monitoring scripts/cronjobs. Remove if necessary old key from .sss/known_hosts and create new one by logging in under those names.

• start cron jobs from 'clascron', 'clasmail' and 'epics' accounts, if applicable. Login in those accounts, goto 'backup' directory and see README. If for example cron jobs must be running on clon10 under 'clascron', then file '/home/clascron/backup/clon10' will contain those cron jobs descriptions; login as 'clascron', goto 'backup' and type 'crontab clon10'. To see what is running type 'crontab -l', to remove cron jobs type 'crontab -r'.

• setup Nrpe if necessary; all machines are monitored by Nagios using ssh and ping protocols, which does not required Nrpe; however to run special monitoring tasks Nrpe must be running, for example to check local disks etc.

• install UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) - related software
