This section describes the process for configuring the
source server for the Linux Scripting ToolkitServerGuide Scripting Toolkit, Linux Edition.
About this task
To perform network deployments, you must configure the Network
File System (NFS) on the source server to work properly with the
Toolkit. The NFS server enables
you to share files from the source server across your network. All
NFS server exports must be defined in the
/etc/exports file.
Follow this procedure to add the values required by the
Toolkit to the file.
Procedure
- Edit the file /etc/exports to
include the following line:
/opt/ibm/sgtk/sgdeploy *(ro,sync,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
This
will export the /opt/ibm/sgtk/sgdeploy directory
for any host with read-only permissions. The base directory that you
define in the /etc/exports file must correspond
to the value in the Preferences page of the Toolkit.
- Restart the NFS daemon by using the appropriate command
for your version of Linux:
Results
The files in the base directory are now available for use
by hosts across your network.
