To install a program product from CD to AFS, 1) Mount the cd. - Put the cd in the drive. - If the /cd file system isn't there, crfs -v cdrfs -p ro -dcd0 -m/cd -Ano mount -v cdrfs -r /dev/cd0 /cd 2) Make the directory in /afs/alm/common/inst.images. - If the program product is big enough, make a separate AFS volume and put the mount under /afs/alm/common/inst.images somewhere. Call the AFS volume either common.images.something or dept.ais.something. vos create server-name partition-letter new-volume-name fs mkm /afs/alm/common/inst.images/new-program-product new-volume-name fs sq /afs/alm/common/inst.images/new-program-product desired-quota - If the program product is small, just make another directory under /afs/alm/common/inst.images mkdir /afs/alm/common/inst.images/new-program-product 3) As root(!), copy everything over. cp -pR /cd/* /afs/alm/common/inst.images/new-program-product (This copy command *does* pick up the .toc file.) 4) Check the permissions on each directory to insure anybody can read it (system:anyuser rl). fs lq /afs/alm/common/inst.images/new-program-product Since the permissions on /afs/alm/common/inst.images already includes system:anyuser rl, this shouldn't be a problem.
