Distributing Binaries to Server Machines

Become the local superuser root, if you are not already.

   % su root

Create a temporary subdirectory of the /usr/afs/bin directory to store the AFS 3.6 server binaries.

   # mkdir /usr/afs/bin.36    

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

• 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.server/usr/afs/bin

• 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.server/usr/afs/bin

Copy the server binaries from the distribution into the /usr/afs/bin.36 directory.

   # cp -p  *  /usr/afs/bin.36   

Rename the current /usr/afs/bin directory to /usr/afs/bin.old and the /usr/afs/bin.36 directory to the standard location.

   # cd /usr/afs
   
   # mv  bin  bin.old
      
   # mv  bin.36  bin
