I am mop booting several 3100's from a single server and would like to =
share the /usr directory with all of the 3100's to save space. A couple =
of people responded a while back suggesting that it is possible but I =
have not been able to get it to work. =20
Currently I use a Sun 3/80 as the bootserver, once the 3100's (zircon1, =
zircon2) get booted they are pointed to a uVAX 3600 (diamond) for their =
respective file systems. A partial listing of the exports file follows:
/export/vaxclient1/root -maproot=3Droot zircon1.gem.com
/export/vaxclient1/swap -maproot=3Droot zircon1.gem.com
#
/export/vaxclient2/root -maproot=3Droot zircon2.gem.com
/export/vaxclient2/swap -maproot=3Droot zircon2.gem.com
#
/export/vaxclinet0/usr -maproot=3Droot zircon1.gem.com
/export/vaxclinet0/usr -maproot=3Droot zircon2.gem.com
An example of the bootparams file:
zircon1 root=3Ddiamond:/export/vaxclient1/root \
swap=3Ddiamond:/export/vaxclient1/swap \
usr=3Ddiamond:/export/vaxclient0/usr
=20
zircon2 root=3Ddiamond:/export/vaxclient2/root \
swap=3Ddiamond:/export/vaxclient2/swap \
usr=3Ddiamond:/export/vaxclient0/usr
Does this look like it should work?
Thanks,
Rick C.
