Use the following instructions to build AFS modifications into the kernel on an IRIX system. 1. Copy the kernel initialization file afs.sm to the local /var/sysgen/system directory, and the kernel master file afs to the local /var/sysgen/master.d directory. # cp -p bin/afs.sm /var/sysgen/system # cp -p bin/afs /var/sysgen/master.d 1. Copy the appropriate AFS kernel library file to the local file /var/sysgen/boot/afs.a; the IPxx portion of the library file name must match the value previously returned by the uname -m command. Also choose the file appropriate to whether the machine's kernel supports NFS server functionality (NFS must be supported for the machine to act as an NFS/AFS Translator). Single- and multiprocessor machines use the same library file. If the machine's kernel supports NFS server functionality: # cp -p bin/libafs.IPxx.a /var/sysgen/boot/afs.a If the machine's kernel does not support NFS server functionality: # cp -p bin/libafs.IPxx.nonfs.a /var/sysgen/boot/afs.a 1. Issue the chkconfig command to deactivate the afsml configuration variable. # /etc/chkconfig -f afsml off If the machine is to function as an NFS/AFS Translator and the kernel supports NFS server functionality, activate the afsxnfs variable. # /etc/chkconfig -f afsxnfs on 1. Copy the existing kernel file, /unix, to a safe location. Compile the new kernel, which is created in the file /unix.install. It overwrites the existing /unix file when the machine reboots in the next step. # cp /unix /unix_noafs # autoconfig 1. Reboot the machine to start using the new kernel, and login again as the superuser root. # cd / # shutdown -i6 -g0 -y login: root Password: root_password
