hmm.. if a checkdisk runns across your afs partitions without the right=20
v3fsheler file , it deletes you data if itr's not a NAMEI Server :-)

maybe you should google for one , because i have no version for AIX 4.3.3
i think there is a problem with the copyright , that's while it's not in=20
the source code .

> installing the lib files e.g. libbos.a?

you don't need them=20

> openafs-1.2.11/rs=5Faix42/dest/bin /usr/local/bin' ?

openafs-1.2.11/rs=5Faix42/dest/root.server/usr/afs/bin/* and=20
openafs-1.2.11/rs=5Faix42/dest/bin/* should be copied to /usr/afs/bin/

openafs-1.2.11/rs=5Faix42/dest/root.client/usr/vice/etc sould be copied to =

/usr/vice/etc/
=20
you don't need the rest ..

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;okay , then you need an inode based
version of the Fileserver<br>
&gt; &gt;...<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;i think (but not sure , cause i
always compile by myself ) the<br>
&gt; &gt;AIX<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;Package<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;on www.openafs.org is NAMEI based
, because there is no AFS<br>
&gt; &gt;Version<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;of<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;the<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;v3fshelper in that package . so
you should download the source<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;package<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;and<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;compile it with --enable-transarc-pa=
ths
--enable-fast-restart<br>
&gt; &gt;this<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;should<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;generate a inode based Version .<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;maybe somebody on the List better
knows , if it`s INODE based<br>
&gt; &gt;or<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;not.<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;after that , you just have to replace
the old binarys in<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;/usr/afs/bin,<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;/usr/vice/etc and the /sbin/helpers/=
v3fshelper
with the new<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;Versions<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;and<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;it should work .<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;Sven<br>

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Sven - I really appreciate your help.
Thanks very much.<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Do I need to restart anything once I've
copied over the new<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;binaries?<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;no Problem ...<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;if you also use a client on the server , you
should reboot your<br>
&gt; &gt;System<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;.<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;if you just use it as a Server just bos restart
&quot;Servername&quot;<br>
&gt; &gt;-localauth<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;-all<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;that`s it ..<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;Sven<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I'd really like to avoid the reboot if possible
because this is a<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;production<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; machine. Is it at all possible just to restart
the client (afsd)<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;processes?<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I thought you could do that with the new AFS?<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;no , it=B4s not possible under aix , just under linux
... (as far as i<br>
&gt; &gt;know)<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;you can also leave the client running without reboot.<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;i just don=B4t know the side effects off running an old
Client<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;on the same System with an new Server. on the other
hand old Clients<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;work perfectly with new servers , so a reboot should
not be needed .<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks Sven - I'm going to try that and keep my fingers
crossed!<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; By the way, (sorry last question!) the binaries are scattered
around the<br>
&gt; &gt;src<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; directory. Is there an option like 'make install binaries'!?
or at least<br>
&gt; &gt;an<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; easier way to upgrade rather than copying each individual
binary?<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
