Upgrading Client Machines

Become the local superuser root, if you are not already, by issuing the su command.

   % su root
   Password: root_password   

Prepare to access client files using the method you have selected from those listed in Obtaining the Binary Distribution:

• If you copied the contents of the root.client directory into AFS (in Step 6 of Storing Binaries in AFS), change directory as indicated.

  # cd /afs/cellname/sysname/usr/afsws/root.client

• If copying files from the CD-ROM, mount the CD-ROM for this machine's system type on the local /cdrom directory. For instructions on mounting CD-ROMs (either locally or remotely via NFS), consult the operating system documentation. Then change directory as indicated.

  # cd /cdrom/sysname/root.client

• If accessing the distribution electronically, you possibly already downloaded it in Storing Binaries in AFS. If so, it is still in the temp_afs36_dir directory. If not, download it and run any commands necessary to uncompress or unpack the distribution. Place it in a temporary location (temp_afs36_dir), and change directory to the indicated subdirectory.

  # cd temp_afs36_dir/root.client

Copy the AFS 3.6 version of the afsd binary and other files to the /usr/vice/etc directory.

   # cp  -p  usr/vice/etc/*   /usr/vice/etc   
   
   # cp  -rp  usr/vice/etc/C  /usr/vice/etc   

Perform the instructions in Incorporating AFS into the Kernel and Enabling the AFS Initialization Script to incorporate AFS extensions into the kernel. The instructions conclude with a reboot of the machine, which starts the new Cache Manager.
