INSTRUCTOR

Environment Information
Your class has been assigned a portion of one or more physical servers to use to complete the lab exercises. As these servers may be shared with other classes there are a number of things that you need to be aware of:
  1. LPAR names should all begin with sysxxxn where sysxxx denotes the physical system name and n denotes the number assigned for your class on the system. This is how LPARs are associated with a class. Note this number may vary by physical system.
  2. Use the same sysxxxn naming convention if creating new LPARs during the lab exercises. LPARs that do not adhere to the standard are not associated with a class and may be deleted at any time without warning.
  3. If HMC access has been provided use the assigned credentials to login. Roles are sometimes used to limit student access, but it is not always possible. It can not be stressed enough: Do not make changes or take actions that could be disruptive to other classes. Access is provided for completing the exercises in the lab exercise guide only.

Class NIM Server
The Class NIM Server is used for installing any VIOS and AIX partitions provisioned for a class. For some classes it may be preconfigured to support student NIM installs during the lab exercises and if a student makes a mistake the configuration may need to be reset. If a student damages the OS install on their LPAR it can also be used to reinstall the LPAR. A special account with a menu driven interface is available to perform these activities.

The Class NIM server assigned for this class is as follows:
Name IP Address Login Password Release
nim036 10.8.36.35 teacher teacher AIX 7300-00-01-2148
Class NFS Server
The RLP NFS server nfssrv1 (10.8.252.1) hosts the product code and lab file repositories used when provisioning classes.

Normally there should be no need to access the NFS server, as during provisioning product code and lab files for the class are usu ally staged on the appropriate partitions. However, if they need to be copied over again the appropriate NFS shares can be mounted on th e student partitions to access the repositories.

Assuming /mnt is the mount point, use the following commands to do so:
Repository AIX / VIOS Command Format Linux Command Format
Product Code mount 10.8.252.1:/export/products /mnt mount -t nfs -o nolock,vers=3 10.8.252.1:/export/products /mnt
Lab Files mount 10.8.252.1:/export/labfiles /mnt mount -t nfs -o nolock,vers=3 10.8.252.1:/export/labfiles /mnt
