Setting up the primary server

To set up multiple InfoPrint servers that do not require full job ticketing services, complete these steps:
  1. Complete the installation of the primary InfoPrint server using the most recent Service DVD-ROM.
  2. Complete the following configuration procedure on the primary InfoPrint server:

    Invoke the SMIT panel directly from the AIX command line by specifying either smit iprufst_secondary or smitty iprufst_secondary, or access the InfoPrint Utilities main menu:

    • If you have an InfoPrint Manager icon on your front panel, open InfoPrint Manager's menu and click InfoPrint SMIT. Then click InfoPrint Utilities. Click Configure Secondary Servers (NFS).
    • If you do not have an InfoPrint Manager icon on your front panel, open the InfoPrint folder in the Application Manager and double click InfoPrint SMIT. Then click InfoPrint Utilities. Click Configure Secondary Servers (NFS).

      Select Link from Primary Server to Secondary Server.

      Provide the information about your secondary system as prompted.

    Important: Because the required field Is /ipdata used for job ticketing? defaults to yes, you need to change this value to no.

    Or use the command-line script:

    1. Open a terminal window.
    2. Run the command: cd /usr/lpp/Infoprint/install/bin
    3. To configure the secondary servers via NFS, you need to link from the Primary Server to Secondary Server using the following command: 

      ./link2srvr.ksh [-h secondary_hostname] -p -[r|t]

      where:

      • h secondary_hostname specifies the Secondary Server Host Name
      • p suppress the mounting of /ipdata
      • r|t where r specifies to retain secondary servers previously defines, while t does not retain secondary server previous data
