3 IP ADDRESS AND NODE NAME MANAGEMENT


The purpose of the Node Name Management tool is provide a centralized and integrated mechanism to administer the IP address and host name relationship for the HP servers used inside the Alcatel TMN application. Node Name Management allows configuring the TCP/IP address and host name relationship on the entire nodes in the Alcatel Network Management. Its main purpose is allowing the host naming distributed management. The code design philosophy is based on the working group concept. The group is an entity that includes the entire node needs to work together. The first node placed in configuration creates the group, and then the other will be added. Each node belongs the group has a copy of entire node name repository, and it is able to add a new node to the group, or remove an existing one. Any action can be carried on only if there is the group node member quorum. We decide to implement this philosophy after the experience on the previous NR where it was very difficult to review the configuration when a node was failed or simply unreachable. The node group members are not the only entities in the repository database, in fact the communications are not limited to the node group members, but there are other nodes in the TPC/IP network that can be useful to know. These nodes can be described in the database as External, that means them can be added and removed such as a Member one, but them can non remove nether add any thing, and them are not voters to reach the quorum. Another special entity are the Cluster nodes, that are specific designed for virtual IP Address of MC/Service Guard cluster application packages, the characteristic of this kind of element are: them have to be defined in the Kerberos database like Members, but them are not voters for quorum, nether useful to execute actions. An important principle regards the security, in fact to prevent backdoors or other strategy to allow the action of a node to another, to include a new node in the group, it is not enough that a member node add it to the database, but it have to authorize the group access, by performing a add action by itself. Just to better explain the behavior with an example: We have a group with three members: hosta, hostb and hostc, if have to add hostd to the group the first action has to be done from one of the three members, it have to add hostd to the database, that means all the three nodes will know hostd and its IP address, and implicitly accept request from that source. Then hostd have to accept the group membership by performing an add on itself specifying one of the group members. With this action hostd authorize the other group member to operate on itself. N.B. This tool does not provide any support for the IP network design, it just allow to reduce the effort in describing an already planned network.

3.1 Fuctional Restrictions


The Node name Management program bases network communication on OSKernel Remotizer library, that means OSKernel have to be installed and customized before be able to correctly execute the Node name Management program. The Node Name Management can not be started before OSKernel installation and customization. To allow the correct execution of the program, the involved machines does not have more five minutes difference in system time. Be careful, the relevant system time does not involve the Time Zone, so you have to check the time difference by entering the command: date u

3.2 Basic Fuctions


This paragraph briefly shows the actions foreseen by OSConf Node Name Management: Found the group is done by network management first node. Add new node allows adding any type of host to the database. Remove a node allows removing any type of host to the database. List of data provides the contents of database in terms of hostname and its characteristics. IP address and hostname changes. Single or multiple node alignment. Change network gateway and subnet mask. Add and remove DNS configuration. Group management.

All these functions are available through a menu driven interface, this interface is described hereafter.

3.4 Node Name Management Interface


The Node name Management program interface is menu oriented, when you can start this software by login as user root and entering: ...,sys,root # scNMmng [Enter] It prompts you the following menu:
Network Management Nodes (V2.3.1) Management options: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 INIT ADD REMOVE PUT LIST TOTALIGN ACTALIGN GRPOPEN GRPMERGE = network map init. = add a node = remove a node = put network map = list network map = alignment each node = alignment a single node = open the current group = merge two groups [0] exit 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 CHIPADDR CHNETMASK CHGATEWAY DNSADD DNSCHANGE DNSREMOVE = change IP addr. = change netmask = change gateway = add to DNS = change DNS = remove from DNS

CHNODENAME = change hostname

GRPIMPORT = import a remote group

Enter management option [0..17] :

3.4.1 1 INIT Establish the Group: you are installing the first NMS system of the entire network. Before perform any activity you have to initialize the Node Management persistent data. The detailed procedure is: a) b) Login a node as root user (hostb of example in paragraph 3.3 ). Run the scNMmng script (see paragraph 3.4 at page 16) then enter 1 and [Enter] to execute the initialization. This action creates the group. The execution will be confirmed by the message: ** MESSAGE: node <hostname> (<IP_addr>) initialized. Press [Enter] to continue. The Node Management Persistent Data has been initialized. Press [Enter] to go back to main menu, then press [Enter] or 0 and [Enter] to exit.

3.4.2 2 ADD The Node Name Management procedure have been design to guarantee the security of the entire system, that meas the access to any system in configuration must be formally granted. As consequence it is not possible to operate on a remote system without authorize the access to it in advance, that also means it is not possible to add a new node to a group in one shot. We have to authorize the new node to access the group, and then the new node authorize all the machines belonging to the group to operate with it. It is important to preform the to action in this order because the action performed by the adjoining machine have to be able to retrieve from the specified group member the data related to all the system belonging to the group. 3.4.2.1 Add a New Group Member You add a new node member to the group when the adding node is a TMN system, that have to swap data over the network with the other group members. To add a new member you have to perform the node addition on two machines: 1) First of all, you have to add the new system on a machine already belonging to the group. This action stores the new host in the database of all nodes belonging to the group, and authorize new candidate member to join the group. Then, execute again the add action on the machine that have to join the group. This action allow the new group member to retrieve the node name database from any other group memeber. Executing some commands you can see the following message, please ignore it: Redefining sub ConnectionManager::GetConnectionPort at /alcatel/ Kernel/lib/lib_perl/Remotizer.pm line 695

N.B.

3.4.2.1.1 Add the New Menber to the Group To add a new host to the group as member you have to: Log in as root a system already group member. Start scNMmng. Enter 2 (ADD = add a new node). On ADD Management option window enter 2 to choose add remote node (member). Enter the hostname and IP Address of the new host on demand. Wait the end of program execution. Now the new host is known by all group member systems. 3.4.2.1.2 New Member Joins the Group To complet the action, you have to execute the add also from the joining host. To do it you have to: Log in as root the new incoming host. Start scNMmng. Enter 2 (ADD = add a new node). On ADD Management option window enter 1 to choose add current node. Enter the hostname and IP Address of a group member node on demand. Wait the end of program execution. Now the new node is member of the group.

3.4.2.2 Add a New External Node You add a new external node to the group when the adding node is NOT a TMN system, it can be a printer or any other kind of machine not running Alcatel TMN system based on OSKernel. This case you have just to perform the add on any group member node. The information will be automatically distributed to the entire group. 3.4.2.3 Add a Cluster Node A specific area has been defined to allow the definition of the Virtual Hostname requested by MC ServiceGuard configurations. In fact this requires a special management, the host have to be authorized to swap messages with the other group members, but is must be not included in the voters for reaching the quorum. 3.4.3 3 REMOVE This menu choice allows to remove any node form the database. This command has been designed to be able to remove the system also if it is not reachable through the network. 3.4.3.1 Remove Entry for the Current Node There are two way to remove entries related to the current node: one for the primary or physical hostname and another for the virtual hostname for cluster configurations. Choose the option related to the action you want to execute from the menu. The entry is removed from all group members databases. 3.4.3.2 Remove Entry for Other Group Member You can also remove the entry for other group members, for both primary and virtual hostname. Choose the option related to the action you want to execute from the menu. The entry will be removed from all group members databases. 3.4.3.3 Remove Entry for External Nodes. A specific remove choice is foreseen also for the external nodes. Choose the option related to the action you want to execute from the menu. The entry will be removed from all group members databases. 3.4.4 4 PUT A specific menu option is foreseen for update the node name database of a remote group member. This can be useful in case to align a node database. 3.4.5 5 LIST List option allow to read the database contents of the current or any other group member node. 3.4.6 6 TOTALIGN & 7 ACTALIGN This two option allows to align all the group member nodes to the specified one or a specific one to another group memeber.

3.4.7 8 GRPOPEN, 9 GRPIMPORT & 10 GRPMERGE Functions to enable the comunication and, eventually, the merge between two different hosts groups configured on the same network. To perform this, is necessary to execute two different steps in the following sequence: 1) First of all, you have to enable on a host belonging to a hosts group, the remote access from a specific host belonging to other hosts group (GRPOPEN). Then, you can choose to include the remote group description on the current group hosts (GRPIMPORT) or merge the current and remote hosts groups (GRPMERGE) obtaining as final result a single group containing the description of the hosts of both indicated groups.

3.4.7.1 GRPOPEN To enable the access on the current host, belong to a network hosts group, from a remote host (and ONLY from it) belong to other network hosts group you have to: Log in as root the group member you want to enable to remote group comunication. Start scNMmng. Enter 8 (GRPOPEN = open the current group). Enter the hostname and IP Address of the remote host you want to link. Wait the end of program execution. Now the two groups to which belong the current and the remote hosts can comunicate each other. 3.4.7.2 GRPIMPORT N.B. You can to activate this function ONLY from the remote host indicated during the GRPOPEN operation previously executed.

To configure on the current node (and on each node belonging to the same nodes group) the nodes belonging to a remote nodes group you have to: Log in as root the group member you want to configure the hosts of the remote group. Start scNMmng. Enter 9 (GRPIMPORT = import a remote group). Enter the hostname and IP Address of the remote host belonging to the group you want to link. N.B. Must be the same of the node where you executed the GRPOPEN. Wait the end of program execution. Now the configuration of each host member of local group include the description of all hosts member of the remote group. 3.4.7.3 GRPMERGE N.B. You can to activate this function ONLY from the remote host indicated during the GRPOPEN operation previously executed.

1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10

To merge the hosts members of two different groups in a single group you have to: Log in as root the host member of the group you want to merge with the remote group. Start scNMmng. Enter 10 (GRPMERGE = merge two groups). Enter the hostname and IP Address of the remote host belonging to the group you want to merge. N.B. Must be the same of the node where you executed the GRPOPEN. Wait the end of program execution. Now all the hosts members of the two groups has been merged in a singre group.

3.4.8 11 CHIPADDR This paragraph shows how to change the IP address of a system configured with OSConf Node Management script. There are two different situations: 1) The IP address have to be change is related to a group member, that means you have to change an IP address configuration, and inform all the other network nodes about the change. The IP address have to be change is related to an external system, and you have just to inform all network nodes about this change.

2)

3.4.8.1 Change Member Node IP Address To better understand how to proceed it is advisable have clear in mind some concepts of OSConf network management: To be able to communicate each other using the hostname alias, two machines have to register the correct relationship between hostname and IP address in /etc/hosts file. Changing the IP address on a node the communication can be lost. The hostname/IP address relationship has to be changed on the entire network. The new IP address have to be defined in agreement with IP addressing plan of the local area network where the system have to operate. NO IP ADDRESS DUPLICATION IS ALLOWED. When changing the IP address also the IP Network or subnetwork (RFC 1878) is changed, you have to change also any related routing information. Do not run the scNMmng procedure on the machine where the IP address has to be changed by using remote connection or X Motif interface, because the connection can be lost and the CDE can gets blocked. Because of these reasons we decide to split the change IP address in two actions: 1) The hostname/IP address relationship change on all network nodes but the one that the IP address is defined on. The IP address change on the node where the IP address is defined on.

2)

The first action have to be performed on any group member node different that ome where the IP address is defined.The the second one on node where the IP address have to be really changed. Is important to preform the to action in this order. The communication can not be establish again before both of these steps will be not completed. Before proceed is better to verify that the communication among the machine with the new IP address and the remaining group members are established again.

3.4.8.2 Change External Node IP Address The external node IP address change does not require any modification on the LAN card configuration of any network node. That means this action can be done in one shot over all the nodes. In any case you have to synchronize yourself with who is in charge to perform the IP address change on the external system, in order to reduce the down time between that external system and the node belonging to the group. 3.4.8.3 Change Node IP address to the Other Members This activity allows to change the relationship between an IP address on all the group member nodes at once. The detailed procedure is: N.B. In the following sequence to form the hypothesis to change from hostb node of example in paragraph. 3.3 , the IP address of hostc node from 192.202.21.8 to 192.202.21.99. Login a group member node as root user (hostb of example in paragraph. 3.3). Run the scNMmng script (see paragraph 3.4 at page 16) then enter 11 [Enter] to change the IP address of a node. On the display will be appear the Change IP Addr. Menu: Network Management Nodes (V2.3.1) CHANGEIP Management options: 1 change the IP addr. on current node 2 change the IP addr. on remote node (member) [0] Main menu Enter management option [0..2] : Enter 2 and [Enter] . The procedure ask you the following questions: Please insert the HOSTNAME for remote host : <hostname> [Enter] Please insert the OLD IP ADDR. for remote host : <cur_IP_addr> [Enter] Please insert the NEW IP ADDR. for remote host : <new_IP_addr> [Enter] Please insert the NETWORK ID for remote host : <lan_ID> [Enter] Where <hostname>, <cur_IP_addr> (displayed automatically) and <new_IP_addr> are the remote hostname, the current and the new IP address of the node you want to modify (respectively hostc, 192.202.21.8 and 192.202.21.99 in the example). <lan_ID> is the LAN identification number (0=lan0, 1=lan1, ...). d) The procedure ask you to confirm the current execution: Do you confirm the execution [Y/N def.=Y]? : Enter Y and [Enter] to proceed or N and [Enter] to go back to main menu. If you continue the operation, the procedure will start a update on all the group member nodes. Wait the end of the activity as requested by: WAIT THE END OF THE ACTIVITY (DO NOT PRESS ANY KEY !!). The execution will be confirmed by the message: ** MESSAGE: IP ad. of <hostname> Press [Enter] to continue.

3.4.8.4 Change Node IP address on Local Member The IP address change can have influence on the application behavior. In fact any open connection can fault down, because IP address change need to shutdown the LAN services. For the same reason it is forbidden perform such kind of action using network connection (such as telnet connection and Xterminal emulation GoGlobalUX) involving the LAN interface subject to change. Moreover, if you are changing the IP address on a hp9000 workstation, you must exit any CDE interface and login in console mode (black screen). Because the tool is not able to identify when started from a network opened shell, no check can be done to prevent the execution from a wrong source. The detailed procedure is: N.B. a) b) The sequence completes the hostc IP address chence from 192.202.21.8 to 192.202.21.99. Login changing group member node as root user (hostc of example in paragraph. 3.3). Run the scNMmng script (see paragraph 3.4 at page 16) then enter 11 [Enter] to change the IP address of a node.

3.4.9 12 CHHOSTNAME This paragraph shows how to change the node name of a system configured with OSConf Node Management script. There are two different situations: 1) The node name have to be change is related to a group member, that means you have to change an node name configuration, and inform all the other network nodes about the change. The node name have to be change is related to an external system, and you have just to inform all network nodes about this change.

2)

3.4.9.1 Change Member Node Name To better understand how to proceed it is advisable have clear in mind some concepts of OSConf network management: To be able to communicate each other using the hostname alias, two machines have to register the correct relationship between hostname and IP address in /etc/hosts file. Changing the node name on a mode the communication can be lost. The hostname/IP address relationship has to be changed on the entire network. OSConf has to guarantee the execution of the action declared succeeded.

Because of these reasons we decide to split the change node name in two actions: 1) 2) The hostname/IP address relationship change on all the other network nodes. The node name change on the local node.

The first action have to be performed on any other one it the configuration, the the second one on node where the node name have to be really changed. Is important to preform the to action in this order. The communication can not be establish again before both of these steps will be not completed. 3.4.9.2 Change External Node Name The external node node name change does not require any modification on the LAN card configuration of any network node. That means this action can be done in one shot over all the nodes. In any case you have to synchronize yourself with who is in charge to perform the node name change on the external system, in order to reduce the down time between that external system and the node belonging to the group.

4 BACKUP AND RESTORE


The OSConf includes a backup/restore function. This function allows to make a security archive tape set of the entire system, or a specified volume group, reducing the down time of the system where it is possible. The backup function can be executed in two ways: Full backup of the entire system. Single volume group back.

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

Both of them allow the online execution, and are integrated with the other OSConf feature such as disk mirror management.

4.1 Full disks backup/restore


The target of the procedure is: provide an easy tool to allow the backup and restore of the complete disks contents (including the disk partitioning), to allow the system recovery in case of disk failure or data corruption that does not allow the HPUX to boot again from disk. Basically the procedure use three HPUX tools: 1) 2) 3) fbackup frecover Ignite UXt Backup tool included in the HPUX 11.11 Core Recover tool included in the HPUX 11.11 Core Add on HP tool for installation and recovery

The tools reference versions are: HPUX 11i 11.11 Ignite UXt B.3.6.82 for HPUX 11.11 This means the scbackup behavior is not guarantee with different version. 4.1.1 Full Backup Strategy The system backup is always done using two tape cassette sets: a) The fist tape set is the Ignite Recovery Tape (IRT). It is created online by Ignite UX with a reduced HPUXt and allows the boot from tape. Usually the IRT is done using just one 4 Gbyte tape. The contents of IRT depends also by the Logical Volume Management (LVM) configuration, it the Physical Volume Group (PVG) are defined, only the disk beloging to PVG0 will be stored in the IRT, this is done this way because Ignite does not manage mirror disk nor PVG. This approach has been implemented to be able to build again the same configuration in the restore. The second tape set is created by fbackup tool with the entire disk contents. This activity can be carried out online or offline depending by the system configuration and status. These are the conditions to be able to perform the online full backup: 1) 2) 3) If entire file system is mirrored. If there are no stale phisycal extent. If there is no Virtual Array in configuration.

b)

This tape set can be require more than one tape. N.B. If you have both DAT and DLT tape device, it is allowed to create the two tape sets using different type of tape cassettes, such as DAT tape for IRT and DLT for fbackup. But it is NOT allowed to mix different type tape cassettes in the same tape set.

The procedure manages both volume group configuration provided for Alcatel TNM Applications: Single Volume Group Multiple Volume Group

1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10

The Single Volume Group configuration has all disks in configuration defined in the same HP Logical Volume Manager (LVM) volume group (VG), where there are also the HPUX system partitions. The Multiple Volume Group configuration foreseen a different VG for each disk (vg01, vg02, vg03, etc.) with the exception of the Mirror UX configuration where each VG must contains two disks. Within the Alcatel TNM environment it is RECOMMENDED to use this tool in together with the Alcatel Application Backup feature, because often there is application data on different systems that have to be consistent each other. N.B. The full backup usage is forbidden with 1359HA OSCluster environment. 03 3AL 88893 CAAA 112 30 / 112

4.2 Single Volume Group Backup


The single volume group backup has been introduced to allow the backup when there are 1359HA OS Cluster System configuration. The 1359HA OSCluster specific volume group management does not allow to perform the full backup in the usual way, because them are shared between two systems, and their Logical Volume Manager (LVM) configuration must be managed by 1359HA OSCluster scripts. Single volume group backup feature is also due to the Virtual Array (VA7110) backup method, in fact there is a specific feature of VA7110 to make an online copy of any Logical Unit (LUN), this mechanism allow the online backup of any information stored with the VA7110, but require an extra space on device equal to the amount of space that have to be backup at once. Basically the procedure uses the following HPUX tools: 1) 2) 3) 4) fbackup frecover Ignite UXt CommandView SDMt Backup tool included in the HPUX 11.11 Core Recover tool included in the HPUX 11.11 Core Add on HP tool for installation and recovery Virtual Array Command

The tools reference versions are: HPUX 11i Ignite UXt CommandView SDM 11.11 B.3.6.82 for HPUX 11.11 V1.06.00

This means the scbackup behavior is not guarantee with different version. 4.2.1 Single Volume Group Backup Strategy The behavior of the single volume group backup is more flexible, but more complex than the full backup one. Within the single VG backup it is possible to distinguish two different VG types: 1) 2) hpuxt system volume group (vg00). Data volume group (different than vg00)

The backup of the system volume group (vg00) is perform with the full backup approach, it is done with two tapes (IRT and fbackup) to be able to rebuitd a minimum hpuxt system and the data stored inside. Instead the data volume group backup is related only the data. As result of this policy is the single volume group backup require a number of tapes equal to the number of volume group plus one, and all of them have to be properly labeled to prevent misusage. N.B. The manual Single Volume Group Backup usage is forbidden. It must be integrated within 1359HA OSCluster Backup feature.

4.3 Restrictions
4.3.1 Ignite Recovery tape restrictions The Ignite Recovery Tape (IRT) has some restrictions with using the DLT tape driver. DLT MUST BE attached to HP 9000 Enterprise servers via FastWide Differential interface cards. DLT boot WILL NOT work when attached via singleended SCSI. DLT boot IS NOT supported for systems that use NIO FastWide Differential SCSI cards (Part number 28696A). The matrix below explains systems (by class) along with the bus types required for DLT to be recognized as a bootable media device. Table 1.

4.3.2 1359HA OS Cluster Support The OS Cluster environment is supported only with Single Volume Group in conjunction with 1359HA OS Cluster backup feature. 4.3.3 Mirror Disk configuration rebuild The restore procedure after restoring the data it will inform the user if the system was mirrored at the backup time, the mirror rebuild is not managed directly by the restore procedure, but it must activated separately. For systems protected with Mirror/Disk UX, it is possible to proceed with the full online disk backup by using the scbackup script, after the disk restore via screstore script the scmirrorfs script can be invoked to rebuild the mirror configuration, this script will require to specify the mirror disks to be used (refer to appendix 4.5.3 at page 52). 4.3.4 Restriction on Console The fbackup is executed in single user mode during the HPUX boot phase, but it is VERY IMPORTANT to know that switching off the console terminal or disconnecting the Web console during the fbackup execution, the fbackup itself will be interrupt, and the backup will be not completed. 4.3.5 Required disk space The Ignite UX tool require at least 32Mbyte free in the file system where /var directory is located. 4.3.6 Compatibility The scbackupscrestore version 2.0 in not compatible with the previous version of the Alcatel backuprestore software, so the tapes produced with old versions cannot be managed by the new one. Pay attention to label correctly the new tapes and to keep them separated from the previous. 4.3.7 Restriction on Backup The system you want to backup may have volume groups not active or logical volumes not mounted; these will not be managed by the procedure and you will be informed by warning messages. Moreover: is strictly recommended do NOT perform the backup of file systems mounted using a path containing symbolic link. In fact, the backup of a file system of this type will generate a recovery archive error during the restore procedure (see paragraph 4.6.2 at page 61). pay particular attention to perform a full user disk backup in a Cluster environment configured with a Virtual Array. It could be generate a backup error (see paragraph 4.6.3 at page 63).

4.4 FULL BACKUP


This chapter shows how to perform the backup of the entire disk structure and contents by using the scbackup procedure. The script is design to be executed in following the phases showed below: a) b) Create the Ignite recovery tape (IRT). Perform backup On line: 1) 2) 3) Split the mirror disk, creating a offline copy of the entire system. Perform the backup of the off line copy Merge back the offline copy in the mirror disk configuration.

Off line: 1) 2) 3) Prepare HPUX system to execute standard backup at HPUXt Run Level 2. Perform the backup during the HPUX system reboot. Reboot the system to restore it in service.

4.4.1 Start the scbackup script To activate the scbackup script and execute the backup of your environment you have to proceed as follow: a) b) c) Login as root. Insert the tape cassette into the tape device. Start the procedure by entering: ..,sys,root # scbackup [Enter] The scriot foreseen a timeout on the tape cassete request, the default value is 60 minutes, if you want to have a different timeout period or inibit any timeout you have to use the t option.: ....sys,root # scbackup t 180 ...,sys,root # scbackup t 0 d) To increase the timeout to three hours. To disable the timeout.

The script will ask you to enter the HPUX device file for the IRT to be able to identify the tape driver you want to use by issuing the request: Enter tape device for Ignite <default=<tape_device>>: Enter the HPUX file associated to the tape device (i.e.: /dev/rmt/0m) you want to use for the IRT tape set and press [Enter], or just press [Enter] to select the shown file (<tape_device>).

In case of errors during the logical volumes split operation, the user can decide to continue with standard backup or to stop the procedure in order to analyse the problem, make the corrections and run again the command sconlinebackup (refer to paragraph 4.4.3.1.1.4 for an example). The sconlinebackup procedure can also run alone just if a new IRT is not required. In this case it will show the following output:

4.5 FULL RESTORE


The full backup and restore tool is design to restore on the same physical system the complete contenst of the hard disks in use with Logical Volume Manager (LVM), the restore on a different hardware it is not guarantee, also if the Ignite UX tool allows such kind of stuff. The restore is divided in two phases. The first one is done using the IRT tape set and recreates the LVM disk configuration existing at backup time, that means the current contents of the disk will be destroyed. The second phase recovers the contents of the backup file systems. 4.5.1 Restore of IRT Tape Set The first step in the recovery process consists in: Reconfiguring all the hard disks in use at backup time exactly as them was. Restoring a minimum set of HPUXt operating system on the hard disks, to be able to operate with frecover tool.

These two activities are perform by booting the HP9000 system from IRT. 4.5.1.1 Boot from IRT Tape To boot the HP9000 system from tape you have to: a) b) c) Switch off the machine. Switch on the machine. Wait the message: To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds Press any key to get the console main menu. d) e) Insert IRT in the tape driver, and wait for ready condition of the tape. Enter the command: sea to identify the tape device in a list like: To discontinue search, press any key (temination may not be immediate). Path Number Device Path (dec) Device Type P0 8/4.8 Random access media P1 8/4.3 Sequential access media P2 10/12.12 Random access media f) Boot from tape by enter the command: boot p<x> where: p<x> g)

Now the machine have to boot from tape by issuing messages like: HARD Booted ISL Revision ...... ISL Booting hpux (;0) INSTALL Boot ...: tape (...

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

i) j)

If the boot is correctly started you do not get the ISL prompt after three minutes. The Ignite will perform the recovery of the LVM disk structure and the HPUX in minimum configuration. You do not need to enter any command, just check for any error message. N.B. The IRT recovery reboots the system twice.

The recovery of IRT can take up to 90 minutes, it depend by the model of the system. in case of error the Ignite will give a message like the one at follows:
ERROR: The disk at HW path: 0/0/1/1.2.0 was specified in the configuration files but does not exist on the system. And since allow_disk_remap=false, no attempt to find a substitute will be made. Because of the error(s) above, the userinterface must be used to correct them... Noninteractive install canceled. Press Return to continue:

When you press Enter the Ignite prompt you a window like: Hardware Summary: System Model: 9000/800/rp7400 ++++ [Scan Again] | Disks: 10 (113.9GB)| Floppies: 0 | LAN cards: 3 | | CD/DVDs: 1 | Tapes: 1 | Memory: 2040Mb| | Graphics Ports: 0 | IO Buses: 8 | CPUs: 4 | [H/W Details] ++++ [ [ [ [ [ Reboot ] Install HPUX Run a Recovery Shell Advanced Options Read SysAdmin Message ] ] ] ] [

Help

That means there is some thing different in the system configuration that prevents Ignite to perform the automatic recovery, in this case you hove to drive Ignite manually to bypass the problem. k) Wait until the end of second reboot. Some time the machine does not reboot automatically, it stop for a long time (more then 20 minutes) just after issue the message: NOTE: tlinstall is searching filesystem please be patient In this case you can force it to proceed by typing [ctrl]c

4.5.2 Restore from Fbackup Tape Set At the end of the recovery of IRT you can proceed with the recovery of the fbackup tape set: Do not perform the restore by a session open via network, because in case of network disconnection the restore has no recovery procedure, and have to be started again from the beginning. Do not try to login with GoGlobalUX tool it is not yet available. a) Login as root. N.B. b) You have to enter the same password which was active when the backup was done!

After restoring the Ignite tape the system is not fully restored, this means not all the required files are available at this time, it is for this reason that at the login some messages are printed:
Cannot chdir to /var/news cat: Cannot open /SCINSTALL/data/boot_version*: No such file or directory

Ignore them, obviously these messages will desappear when the restore will be completed. c) This is an optional step. If some preliminary actions are required on the system before to activate the restore, it is possible to create a commands procedure named screstore_init in the directory SCINSTALL/etc that will be executed before to activate the frecover command. Start the screstore script by entering: ..,sys,root # screstore [Enter] e) screstore asks you to enter the tape device file that have to be used for the restore by issuing the following request message:
************************************************** Selection of Tape device Enter tape device for Frecover <default=<tape device>

d)

Enter the HPUX file associated to the tape device (ex: /dev/rmt/0m) you want to use for the fbackup tape set and press [Enter], or just press [Enter] to select the shown file (<tape device>).

When the system will start again from the restored disks, you can see on the console one or more messages like the following one: INIT: Command is respawning too rapidly. Will try again in 5 minutes. Check for possible errors. id: ..... Do not worry about them in this phase, in fact they are due to the partial restore of performed by Ignite, and to the temporary inconsistency between the restored files and /etc/inittab contents. The messages have to disappear after the restore of fbackup set shown at paragraph 4.5.2 page 48.

f)

Now the procedure asks you to insert the first tape of fbackup tape set. You have to insert the first cassette into the shown tape device, wait the tape device is ready, and press [Enter] to start.

h)

After you press [Enter] a check on the tape data is made to verify if it is consistent with the current system configuration. First of all a report is provided regarding the list of saved volume groups:
************************************************** Tape data compared with the system ***************************************************************************** Backup tape contains the volume groups: vg00 *****************************************************************************

i)

Then the some more information are checked, refer to paragraph 4.5.4.1 at page 55 to see the foreseen warning message and the tips for check them. The script issue the following message to ask you the authorisation to change the HPUX run level to level three:
***************************************************************************** Now all Application must be stopped, system go to run level 3 ***************************************************************************** Are you ready, system go to run level 3 (y|n) ? :

j)

Just enter y and press [Enter] to proceed. k) The recovery will start, but it is necessary to attend the frecover execution, because it can ask for more tape cassettes, and when it require a new cassette you have to remove the current tape and insert the next one. Mount the next tape when the request message Please MOUNT next TAPE Volume appears, and press ENTER after the message: frecover(5404): Press return when the next volume is ready on /dev/rmt/0m: N.B.

4.5.3 Restore MIrror Configuration The full restore function does not cover mirror disk configuration, it restores the entire file system, including Disk Mirror/UXt but it does not configure the mirror. The reasons of this choice are two: 1) 2) hp IgniteUXt recovery procedure does not support the mirror disk recovery. Perform the mirror configuration during the restore phase increases the down time of the TMN Applications.

To make easier the mirror configuration OSConf provides a specific script scmirrorfs to setup the mirror configuration again. To be able to setup again the mirror configuration, it is advisable that all the disks previously present in the configuration are available. Really scmirrorfs does not completely know the mirror disk configuration present during the backup, so you have to assign again the mirror copy disks. N.B. Assigning the disks is possible to change the previous configuration.

The procedure will show you the current disk usage asking you to enter the device name of the disk that have to be used to store the mirror copy of the data. It is not mandatory that disks belonging to the mirror copy disk set have to be physically identical to the main disk set, but the amount of space have to be enough to store all the logical volume currently defined, and it is advisable that disks belonging to mirror copy disk set do not share the same SCSI chain of the main disk ones. When the configuration script recognize that the disk you are adding to the mirror copy is connected to a SCSI chain already in use for the main disk set the following warning message is issued: WARNING: Controller disk already used in Main path (pvg0) Do you want to choose another disk ? If you have to guarantee the machine functionality also in case of failure of the disk controller, you must to choose another disk belonging to another chain. This is an example of the input required and the output produced by scmirrorfs script.

4.5.4 Restore Warning and/or Error Messages In order to prevent errors due to tape labeling mistake, or simple tape swap, screstore procedure foreseen to perform some checks before start the file system(s) restore. This paragraph summarize the possible warning messages and provides information to support who is operating to decide when proceed and when stop. In case of inconsistency between the data present on tape and the system configuration, you will receive error or warning message. Normally this should happen for three main reasons: a) The IRT and Fbackup tape was not produced on the same system, tapes coming from different systems have been mixed. The IRT and Fbackup tape have been produced at different time and with different system configuration. That means you are trying to restore a Fbackup tape over a system where the disk configuration is so different that the target file system is not available or not enough large to perform the restore. The tape set is the correct one, but something has been modified during the Ignite recover process (interactive restore installation), or after the successful Ignite recover and before the scretore process.

b)

c)

For the first two possibilities you should check the tapes validity and the last one obviously should create problems. If an inconsistency occurs it is advisable to stop the restore process in order to investigate on the problem and after the correction you can run again the screstore procedure. At follows are reported some examples listed in category order, where it is possible a corrective action is described: 4.5.4.1 /alcatel File System Not Empty Each time the backup involves the system volume group (vg00) the following message is shown:
***************************************************************************** NOTE: If you have activated the screstore procedure after the system recover from the Ignite tape, do NOT take into account the message at follows related to the /alcatel directory ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** WARNING: Mount Point: /alcatel is not an empty directory *****************************************************************************

The message is shown because the file system mount on to /alcatel directory is not empty, but this case can occur very often, because every NMS instance can create a directory in /alcatel one. So the best way to proceed is: ignore this warning message if you have just restore hpuxt from IRT. Otherwise it is better to not go on.

4.6.1.1 Workaround This error is due to an Ignite fault, in some particular conditions the restore of filesystems extended over multiple disks fail.This should happen on hosts with many small disks. The problem has been alredy submitted to HP and it has been accepted, so the Ignite software will be updated, but at the moment we have no idea about the delivery date of the new Ignite release solving the problem. In consideration of the long time that should be taken by HP, a bypass will be implemented in the Alcatel BackupRestore product. As workarond you should make an adjustement, activate the recovery from the Ignite tape and when the error appears go in interactive and perform the following actions: a) From the Ignite selection menu click on the [ Install HPUX ] button, then select the [ * ] Advanced Installation option ( it is already flagged by default ), continue and select the File System menu (which is showing the error). Click on the [ Additional Tasks ] button, then go to Volume parameters. From the list select the volume associated to the mount directory which gives the error and then click on the [ Disk Mapping ] button. Change from Assigned Disk to Any. Apply the modified configuration so that Ignite will create the filesystem on any of the disks that has enough space.

4.6.3.1 Problem solution The problem is due to the path not well configured for the VA commands, this is because the logic for the path setup has been changed starting from backup version 2.3. As conseguence of this problem in not possible to make the businesscopy of the volume group, however this have no impact on the backup but it require a logger downtime of the involved applications because you should not reactivate them until the backup is ended. N.B. The backup of the volume group is successful, obviously on condition that the involved applications have been stopped.

5.1.3.1 Disk Mirror Configuration Policy The disk mirror capability is used for two main purposes: 1) 2) Allow system to survive in case of a single disk failure. Allow system to survive in case of a single disk controller failure.
All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

It is possible to obtain the better high availability goal only with a correct configuration of the disk resources available on the system. HPUXt Mirror Disk/UXt allows to reach the first target without specific configuration, but to be able to reach the second one you must have an appropriate system configuration in terms of hardware and software. The hardware suggested by Alcatel are design to allow mirror configuration that allow system to survive to disk controller failure, but the software configuration has to be done as shown in this paragraph to do not loose this capability. First of all you have to be able to identify the hard disk present in the configuration, them are usually identified by their file name. In particular the file name can be very helpful to identify the disk controller relationship. Any disk in the configuration is identified by the following name: c#t#d# c[015] t[015] d[015] SCSI of Fiber Channel card instance of disk controller to which the disk is attached to. SCSI of Fiber channel address of the device on the interface. Is the device unit number, useful for disk array only, such as VA7110.

Using the c# of disk file name is possible to identify the relationship between disks and controllers. HPUXt allows to connect a single disk to two different controller (DualAccess), in this case the system command can show two device file for the same disk units, but the installation script manage this configuration by showing just one device with a D on the first column of the related line, hereafter an example of the selection menu shown by installation scripts: This section enables you to select the boot disk device. ___________________________________________________________________________ Disks Selection ___________________________________________________________________________ Device MByte Hardware Path Usage Type VolGroup ___________________________________________________________________________ c1t2d0 8672 0/0/1/1.2.0 _(free)_ ______ ________ c2t2d0 8672 0/0/2/0.2.0 _(free)_ ______ ________ D c4t8d0 8672 0/4/0/0.8.0 _(free)_ ______ ________ D c4t9d0 8672 0/4/0/0.9.0 _(free)_ ______ ________ c6t12d0 8672 0/7/0/0.12.0 _(free)_ ______ ________ c6t13d0 8672 0/7/0/0.13.0 _(free)_ ______ ________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Select Primary BOOT Disk device Name : Now you have to define two disk group (physical volume group) with the following characteristics: 1) 2) 3)
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10

The sum of disk space amount of the two group have to be the same. The DualAccess disks can be assigned to any group. The non DualAccess disks connected to the same controller MUST belong to the same group. It is important to follow this rules starting from boot disk definition 5.1.3.2 at page 69.

6.1 Platform Software Depot


After the HPUXt11i installation it is possible to performed the rest of installation of software layered products in unattended mode. This can be done devoting some Gbyte of a machine installed with OSConf to create a depot with all the software included in the CDs, then when the predispose script will ask you for the source you, have to reply with the following depot address: <depot host>:/alcatel/SCDEPOT. In fact OSConf includes scbuilddepot script that drives the depot building. Login the devoted depot system as root user and enter the command: ...,sys,root # scbuilddepot [Enter] The procedure will ask you to confirm your request by issuing the message: ======================================================================== OSConf Depot Builder ======================================================================== The depot copy requires 2.3 Gbytes extra space on disks * Do you have enough space available [Y/N] : If you have enough large disks replay with y , and the activity will start asking for the source media, the only media supported is the CDROM, you can just change the default with another one. The default provided is the CDROM device used to install HPUXt. * Enter the CDROM device [ /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 ] : NOTE: Checking/Extending /alcatel for depot creation

If the current size of the partition mounted at /alcatel is not enough, new disk resources will be required until reach the requested size. Here an example of the extension: Analyze Mount Point:/alcatel Request free MegaByte(s): 1950 Evaluate size MegaByte(s): 4128 Hardware detection in progress, please wait ........ Total disk(s) found = Total CDRoms found = 4 1

When finally the file system mounted at /alcatel will be large to contain the depot the procedure will ask you to introduce the first disk of the set: * Please insert CD SWPOSCONFV7.1.0 1/4 into the drive and press [Enter] when ready Insert the CD and press return when the CDROM driver led will stop blinking. The procedure will ask you again for all the disks of the set. The procedure will terminate displaying the following error message: ERROR: Depot /alcatel/SCDEPOT created with 1 errors

6.1.1 Build Depot know bug and workaround A software bug has been identified creating a depot with OSConf V7.1.0P05, two software packages are not automatically copied in the depot. If you are use this version creatre a depot you have to execute the following procedure: Mount the SWPOSCONFV7.1.0 volume 1/4 CDROM currently inserted in the CD driver: ...,sys,root # scmountcd /dev/dsk/<device name> /SD_CDROM[Enter] Copy two packages in the depot Note: The courier font has been used instead of to better show the second character of work PlRPC is a lower case L, and not an uppercase i. ...,sys,root # swcopy x enforce_dependencies=false \.[Enter] s /SD_CDROM NetDaemon PlRPC @/alcatel/SCDEPOT[Enter] Dismount the CD and remove it from CD or DVD drive: ...,sys,root # umount /SD_CDROM [Enter]

6.2 Application Software Depot


This paragraph shows how to create the depot for Alcatel software. The depot size depends by the software you have to store on the disk, Table 2. summarizes the space required in Mega bytes. The following actions must be executed on the depot machine; preferably it should be a machine in the network. It may be the same machine that you are installing, if you have sufficient free disks space. You have to login to the alcatel depot machine as root user, and execute the following command: 1) Extend /alcatel to allow the storage of Alcatel software by entering the command: ...,sys,root # scextendfs /alcatel/DEPOT <required disk size> [Enter] Change the default directory on the depot one: ...,sys,root # cd /alcatel/DEPOT [Enter] For each distribution CD Rom that contains the software you have to install: a) b) c) Insert the CD into the driver. Check the CDROM type: ...,sys,root # fstyp /dev/dsk/<cdrom device file> [Enter] Mount the CD at /SD_CDROM directory: if the CDROM type at point b ) is cdfs use: ...,sys,root # mount o rr /dev/dsk/<cdrom device file> /SD_CDROM[Enter] if the CDROM type at point b ) is hfs use: ...,sys,root # mount r /dev/dsk/<cdrom device file> /SD_CDROM[Enter] Copy the entire CD contents to /alcatel/DEPOT directory by entering the command: ...,sys,root # cp p /SD_CDROM/* /alcatel/DEPOT [Enter] Dismount the CD: ...,sys,root # umount /SD_CDROM[Enter] Remove the CD from the device.

6.2.1 Authorize Access to Application Depot To be able to retrieve the Alcatel software packages from the depot machine, the access to these files have to be granted to all the root users of all the machines that have to be installed. This can be done by temporary adding the hostname followed by keyword root for each machine involved in the /.rhosts file. Example: you have to install the following three systems: hosta, hostb and hostc (the depot machine itself). You have to write /.rhosts this way: hosta root hostb root hostc root N.B. N.B. At the end of installationn do not forget to delete the lines added in /.rhost file. All the host included in .rhosts file have to be defined in /etc/hosts one.

7 SECURITY
This chapter describes the security feature introduced to prevent unauthorized access to the system.
All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

7.1 Introduction
The 1350 security provided a concrete improvement to standard HPUX system. It sets up HP Trusted System configuration and performs system hardening with HP Bastille. This approach considerably reduces the risk of attack, also if it can not guarantee 100% the system security. This security approach is based on user authentication, that means each user is identified by the system with it user identifier and the access is granted by a password.

7.2 Security Preparation


The security configuration script is provided with 1350 MS starting from Network Release 7.1D, but before use it, some activities as to be executed to allow the correct security setup. 7.2.1 Software Requirements The security setup procedure is base on software shown in the following table: Product B6849AA T1471AA KRNG11i ixSUDO logrotate Version B.02.01.01 A.03.71.00 B.11.11.07 A.02.001.6.7p5 3.7 Description HPUX Bastille Security Hardening Tool HPUX Secure Shell HPUX 11i Strong Random Number Generator Super User DO Logs rotate Tool

Table 3. Software requested by 1350 MS Security The security setup procedure will check the software in the target system, and it automatically activate the software installation procedure when any of them is not found, refer to paragraph 7.3.3 at page 80 for the specific procedure. N.B. N.B. The software installation can require the system reboot. When at least one required software is not present, the procedure does not activate the security profile, but just install the software.

ED

03 3AL 88893 CAAA 112 75 / 112

7.2.2 Security User and Groups The security setup requires defining the security administrator user and two user groups, the security group for the security administrator and a specific one for ftp guest users (ftpscoss). The UID and GID of these users and groups is defined in advance, in agreement with the UID and GID definition roles of 1350 MS environment, it is not allowed a different user and group definition then one shown in the following tables: Table 4. Security User

User name security

UID 199

Table 5. Security Groups

Group name security ftpscoss

GID 199 198

The user belonging to ftponly group will be manage as ftp guests. 7.2.3 Customize Login and FTP Banners 1350 MS security setup the banners pages that will be shown at login time for both shell and ftp access. The two banners are just as example, you have to customize them with your company trade marks, or replace them with your own one. The banner issued after the login with a shell is stored in /etc/motd file, instead the ftp one into /etc/ftpd/ftp_banner

7.2.4 Security Profiles Before set up security feature you have to choose the security profile. 1350 MS security provides two profiles base and advanced with two levels each one. Both of them set up HP Trusted System, and remove the useless network services, but the advanced provides the following feature more than base: Table 6. Security Feature

7.2.5 Access to Secure Host When the security is activate on host the telnet command is not more available, ssh (secure shell) must be used instead. If a profile of version 2 is configured also the r commands (rlogin, rcp ...) are disabled, so ssh must be used for connection and scp (secure copy) to copy files. Secure Shell software is installed on all secure Alcatel 1350 MS systems, refer to to ssh and scp man pages for more information.

7.2.6 Define the System Password Configuration One o the most evident difference in the system behavior when security is active is related to the password, in fact the 1350 MS security forces roles in password structure definition and aging. In the following tables the default values for both structure and aging: Table 7. Security Password Structure Constants

Role Minimum password length in characters Minimum number of numeric characters Minimum number of special characters Number of changes before reuse the same password Table 8. Security Password Aging Parameters

Value 7 1 1 4

Parameter MIN_PASSWORD_LENGTH PASSWORD_MIN_DIGIT_CHARS PASSWORD_MIN_SPECIAL_CHARS PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH

Role Expiration time (number of days) Minimum time interval between password changes Expiration warning time interval Grace period time

Value 180 0

7.3 Security SetUp


When the security profile have been properly reviewed, and the banners have been customized, you can proceed in the security setup. 7.3.1 Security in High Availability environment Restictions For system where is present 1359HA OSCluster or OSResilience the 1350 security has to be set up at the same profile level on every system, the different password storage method cause serious problems when the security are not aligned. 7.3.2 Security Activation 1350 Security can be activated by entering the command scsecurity followed by the requested security profiles (see 7.2.4 at page 77 for feature list): base1, base2, advanced1 and advanced2. 7.3.2.1 Audit Filesystem creation Meaningful for Advanced Profile Only The security advanced setup requires the creation of three new file systems: 1) 2) 3) /.ARCHIVE Archive file system where a compress copy of the log file are stored.

Each time the 1350 security script is activated for setting up a profile, it looks at the required software, if at least a software is missed, the script activates the automatic installation. N.B. If the software installation requires system reboot, the set up has to be execute again.

First of all, the procedure checks the disk space availability within the interested filesystems. It it is not enough the procedure tries to extend them, rarely the procedure can ask for adding one or more hard disks. If any process prevent the filesystem extension, the procedure will ask you to reboot the system, in this case the software installation will be done automatically during the system reboot, like scmanageswp. When the procedure completes the installation you have to execute again the security setup, to really setup the secure environment.

8 PRINTER CONFIGURATION
To configure the printer you have to use hpt hppi script. This script configures the printer on the system in order to allow the download of the software through the network, and also configures the spooler and the printer queues on all the system declared. This instaction is useful only for HP Printers. In this chapter two printer configuration aspects are considered. First case how to configure a printer spool queue within the local spooler. The second one how to configure a printer to retrieve its configuration from local machine. To be able to perform the printer configuration you must know some information Item Name Data Description Name is the up to 8 characters string assigned to printer by Customer Network administrator(1). IP Address is the IP network address assigned to printer by Customer Network administrator. - Yes - No Is this the system default queue? (it is suggested to set the first defined queue as default) Would you like to issue the banner page at the beginning of any print job? LAN HA is the card hardware address also known as MAC(2).
