Configuring an xserve for use as an LSA Installation Server:

This assumes the instructions in "xserve-setup-instructions.txt" have
been used.

Create the relevant NetInfo databases and domains
(see separate Netinfo-Domains.txt document)

Using "Server Setup" utility:
In the Network Tab, configure the Firewall
    (DOCUMENTATION STILL NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN ON THIS TOPIC)

Create the file structure on the DataDisk disk.
(look at another server like serval.lsa.umich.edu - I won't go into
detail here because hopefully this will happen as an automatic
replication thing later)

Using "Workgroup Manager":
Create any accounts of those who will have permission to install in 
the "Local" Netinfo domain.  For consistency, please use their UM UIDs
and usernames.
Create a group in the "Local" Netinfo domain:
  Name: LSA Installers
  Short name: lsa-installers
  Group ID:  ????? (SHOULD THIS BE SET TO SOMETHING CONSISTENT?)
  Members: add anyone that should be doing installs into this group
Click the "Sharing" icon to define the Shares
Delete all existing shares (Public, Users, Groups, Macintosh Manager)
Create two share points for the following:
      DataDisk->Install->Group->Generic
      DataDisk->Install->LSA
   With the following properties:
      General: 
           Share this item and its contents
           Owner: root            Read & Write
           Group: lsa-installers  Read Only
           Everyone:              None
           Click the button to "Copy these privileges to enclosed items)
           Click the "Save" button at the bottom
      Protocols
           Apple File Settings:
              Share this item using AFP
              UNCHECK "Allow AFP guest access"
           Windows File Settings, FTP, NFS:
              UNCHECK "Share this item using ..."
              UNCHECK "Allow ... guest access"
           Click the "Save" button at the bottom
      Automount
           Ensure that the "Automount this item to clients in domain"
              is unchecked
If department specific loads (we'll use Physics as an example) are  
  in use, you'll also need to create a group for that department
  (eg. physics-installers), and define a share point for
       DataDisk->Install->Group->Physics
  with the same configuration except setting the Group as 
  physics-installers under the General tab in sharing.

Using a terminal (ssh) session:
By default, Apple File Sharing doesn't let an admin mount an individual
  share point, but rather only whole disks.  To fix this, from a terminal
  session on the server, issue the following 
     sudo niutil -createprop . /config/AppleFileServer admin_gets_sp 1
  Verify it was set with:
     niutil -read . /config/AppleFileServer | grep admin

Using the "Server Settings" application:
Stop Apple File Service if it's running.
Configure Apple File Service
   - Start Apple File Service on system startup
   - UNCHECK Enable browsing with Network Service Location
   - UNCHECK Enable Guest access
   - CHECK Enable secure connections
   - CHECK Enable Access log
   - CHECK Enable Error log
Start Apple File Sharing

At this point there should only be "1 Running" service visible in Server Setup

Install the rsyncX package on each server - this is probably most 
easily done via AppleRemoteDesktop

Copy the packages from one machine to the other:
(see the separate document "rsync-commands.txt" for examples on this)

Installing the Netboot image:
  on the new machine, 
    sudo mkdir /Library/NetBoot
    (then rsync the NetBootSP0 directory - see the rsync-commands.txt file)
  run 'Server Settings' utility and connect to the new server
    in the 'NetBoot' tab, check the 'Dynamic' box for built-in Ethernet
       (or whatever the appropriate device is)
    in the 'Image' tab, ensure that the image is Enabled and Default
  wait a few minutes
  run 'Workgroup Manager', in Sharing, check to be sure that
    the following two shares were created.  If they weren't, you can
     add them - they live in /Library/NetBoot
    NetBootSP0 is shared with the following attributes set:
      AFP: share, no guest
      Windows: no sharing, no guest
      FTP: no sharing, no guest
      NFS: export this item, remove any computers from the list,
           uncheck 'Map ___ to nobody', check read-only.
    NetBootClients0 is shared, but only for AFP, and no guest or NFS access
  back in 'Server Settings', you should see the NFS file service running
