10
10 Replication Tool Features Installation images will handle target systems with different hard drive sizes Non-UNIX partitions can also be replicated using byte per byte copying Non-active UNIX partitions can be copied Can be customized on a per target system basis
11
11 Replication Tool Benefits Efficient, cost effective methodology for rolling out multiple similarly configured systems Reduces deployment time Minimal user interaction when deploying target systems
12
12 Availability Available for: SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 and 7.1.4 MIT for SCO OpenServer 6 in beta October 2005 FCS
13
13 Replication Tool Requirements Prototype and target systems should be certified and listed on the SCO Compatible Hardware Web Page (CHWP) CD-RW or DVD-RW drive on prototype unless creating images for distribution across network or disk to disk
14
14 Prototype System Requirements Prototype and target machines must be identical in the following areas: Network card, drivers Mouse drivers Number of hard disks SCSI BIOS settings 30 MB free disk space for replication software At least 2GB free disk space for images
15
15 Target System Requirements Disk drive size on target systems must be ≥ to prototype system
16
16 Replication Process Install and configure OS on prototype Configure hardware, peripherals Install applications Configure users Configure printers System tuning Install replication software
17
17 Replication Process /usr/bin/urk/urkcutproto
18
18 /usr/bin/urk/urkcutproto Autosize of one slice (usually root) Keyboard Type Use Replicated System Data File (RSDF) RSDF location HBA driver selection Node name or TCP address as key for RSDF Difference list
19
19 /usr/bin/urk/urkcutproto (continued) Installation Type? Network server CD/DVD drive Hard drive Path for images to be stored Maximum archive size Number of hard drives Boot sector option Bad track scanning Autosize slice selection Debug mode on target Root password prompt
20
20 ifile Contains global information used to configure target machines such as: Localization Licensing System name User profile Root profile Security Disk Options RSDF overrides ifile
21
21 Replicated System Data File (RSDF) Fully customizable data file that assists in the installation of multiple target systems Node name License Information Networking Information Time zone
22
22 Sample RSDF File grumpy: TCP_IPADDRS[0]=“192.168.65.100 LICENSE_NUMBERS[0]=“zoo000124” LICENSE_CODES[0]=“frziempq” LICENSE_DATA[0]=“fsdfasfd;10ddsd;ccf” dopey: TCP_IPADDRS[0]=“192.168.65.110 LICENSE_NUMBERS[0]=“foo397124” LICENSE_CODES[0]=“ptcmiwed” LICENSE_DATA[0]=“uxwjkaxz;05msoe;mgp”
23
23 Creating CD/DVD Distribution Disks Ensure that cdrecord software is working cdrecord -scanbus Run the urkcutcdrom command to create cd images Use newly created media to install on target systems
24
24 Demonstration of MIT for OpenServer 6
25
25 Glossary ifile – data file used to store installation parameters Installation master – media containing the target installation media Prototype image – copy of software and data files installed on the prototype created by MIT for installation on target systems Prototype machine – Server whose software is duplicated by MIT and is installed on target systems Replicated System Data File (RSDF) – A stanza-based data file containing individual configuration for multiple target machines.
26
26 Glossary Target machine – a machine on which MIT installs the software duplicated from the prototype machine Replication Kit Distribution – media containing the replication kit software urkcutcdrom – command to create distribution images on cdrom or dvd
27
27 SCO Services Capabilities Global reach 24x7 Follow the Sun Award winning capability High level expertise “One stop shop” for professional services, consulting and support
28
28 Why SCO Services Most experienced Engineers in the industry with Average Tenure of 14 years Extension of partner’s own services organization “Sell through” SCO services @ 30% margin: Option for partner to maintain control of end user relationship

29 OpenServer 6 Implementation Services MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT TRAINING DEPLOYMENT PORTING ASSESSMENT
30
30 Assessment Service An SCO Professional Services Consultant will: Gather information and assess system status Evaluate current environment and discuss strategic goals Work with third party application and hardware vendors, if necessary Deliver a comprehensive assessment results report
31
31 Assessment Service Components Complete assessment of existing or proposed hardware and software environment including: OS and application environment User accounts and data Printing requirements System load Security and Authentication Data Storage and backup Networking
32
32 Porting Service Analyze your current environment including applications Make appropriate code changes to your application / libraries Collaborate with 3rd party application vendors (if necessary) Re-compile your application on OpenServer 6 Test the new application
33
33 Deployment Service Install OpenServer 6 on your hardware Configure the kernel appropriately for your environment Customize storage layout Set up network and networking services Configure printers and terminals Migrate user accounts and application data Assess and implement system security requirements Deploy system using Mass Installation Toolkit (MIT) if applicable
