Bring Back a Crashed System - Enabling Trusted System

Laurie A. Krumrey — Fri, 18 May 2001 13:06:57 GMT

Hi All,

I am working to bring back my system. She is
up and running but I need to install Online
JFS and the March 2001 patch bundles and
enable Trusted Systems and rename some
file systems (I named wrong).

How do you properly enable a box to make it
a Trusted System? My server (HP-UX 11.0
D390) was a Trusted System before we reinstalled a new OS on it.

How do I make this Server a Trusted System
(again)?

Also, I did a vgimport and some other stuff
with HP to recreate the logical volumes and the
directory names and
thank heavens we still have our EMC data.

However, relaying on memory I renamed the
directories wrong. I having a real bad day.
Could someone please just give me real
simple instructions to rename a directories with data in it.

I didn't get any sleep last night over my
crashed server and I am very stress out and
need things to be simple. Luckily this is
a test box, but developers always think of
test box as productions..everything is relative. And in an age of computers everything
is needed yesterday.

Can Unix people have a sense of humor when
there are problems? You guys are my only
support here.

Thank you for your help,
Laurie

Hi Laurie,

I'll answer the rename part very quickly since that;s the critical issue. We will worry about trusted system conversion later.

It's very simple

mv olddirname newdirname

Now, get some sleep, Clay

Laurie, after your nap,

I should also add if you misnamed filesystem mountpoints then:
1) umount /oldmountptdir
2) vi /etc/fstab and change mountpoint directory
3) mv /oldmountptdir /newmountptdir
4) mount /newmountptdir

Now for the Trusted System Stuff:
You can do it from SAM.
SAM->Auditing & Security->System Security Policies
This will step you through the process.

Regards, Clay

Hi Laurie:

Two things FIRST:

1. I suggest you take a nap first, rather than be hurried by developers. Mistakes can become costly and being without sleep invites them!

2. Moving directories can be a bit tricky.

If you want to move /dir1 and all its subdirectories and files to /dir2 without adding 'dir1' under 'dir2' (as I suspect you want to do), then:

# cd /dir1
# mv * /dir2

If /dir1 and /dir2 are the mounted file systems, first unmount /dir1 then move the files, then edit /etc/fstab to replace 'dir1' with 'dir2' and lastly do a 'mount -a'.

Good luck, go slow, and relax!
