HD Installation Recipe

The following details a set of steps to Partition Hard disk to accept two NST installations and 3 ethernet NICs.

HD Install

  • Boot From CD
  • Log in
  • cfdisk
    • create 2G NST install #1 /dev/hda1 Make bootable
    • create 2G NST install #2 /dev/hda2
    • Create 1G swap /dev/hda3
    • create /dev/hda4 for /var/nst
  • reboot
  • nsthdinstall
    • nsthdinstall --device /dev/hda2 --format --label "NST v1.5.0-2" --swap-devices /dev/hda5 --swap-format-label --grub-install
    • nsthdinstall --device /dev/hda1 --format --label "NST v1.5.0-1" --swap-devices /dev/hda5 --swap-format-label --grub-install
    • reboot to HD.
    • Login with nst@2003 password.
    • Create var partition, and move var to it:
mke2fs -c /dev/hda4
mkdir /newvar
mount /dev/hda4 /newvar
cd /var
cp -ax * /newvar
cd /
mv var oldvar
mkdir var
  • Edit /etc/fstab to add
/dev/hda4            /var              ext2            defaults                        1 2
  • reboot

Set Host Name

nsthostname -n nprobe9

NIC Setup

Set up 3 nics. On my particular system, I used two PCI cards (eth 0 and eth1) as probes and the onboard nic (eth2) as the management port

  • cdnet
    • Set probe ports eth0 and eth1 to static
    • Set management port eth2 (the onboard nic) to static, and set ip address 10.<campus>.1.6


[root@nprobe9 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
# PROBE PORT 3com NIC
[root@nprobe9 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
# PROBE PORT 3com NIC #2
[root@nprobe9 network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-eth3
DEVICE=eth3
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=10.9.1.6
GATEWAY=10.9.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BROADCAST=255.255.255.255
NETWORK=10.9.1.0
# onboard nic management interface
