Introduction to AFS IMSA Intersession 2003 Common AFS tasks - part 1 Brian Sebby, IMSA '96 Please complete the following tasks to demonstrate your knowlege of AFS use and basic administration. 1. Create a local Unix account for yourself on all AFS servers. 2. Create an AFS user account for yourself in the imsa.edu cell. 3. Create an AFS administrator account for yourself in the imsa.edu cell. Remember to perform all steps necessary to give this account full administrator priveleges. 4. One student will create a "home" volume. Mount this in AFS under /afs/imsa.edu/home . A second student will replicate this volume on another server. 5. Create a home directory volume for your user account. This should be called "home." and be mounted under /afs/imsa.edu/home/ . Set the volume quota to 25 megabytes and set the ACL to only give your user account permission to access it. For the following steps, each student will create a separate set of volumes under /afs/imsa.edu and perform the same steps for each of them. Replace the name "volume" with the particular volume group you will be working on. Student 1 will create a set of application volumes to reside under /afs/imsa.edu/appl . Student 2 will create a set of common volumes to reside under /afs/imsa.edu/common . Student 3 will create a set of project volumes to reside under /afs/imsa.edu/project . 6. Create a main volume to link off the main AFS space. Call this volume either "appl", "common", or "project", and mount it appropriately. Give all users read access to this volume. 7. Create several subvolumes to be mounted under this volume. The volumes you will create will be mounted as "local", "pub", "servers", and "intersession" . Their volume names will be . . Mount these volumes under /afs/imsa.edu// . Create each volume on a different partition, using all servers. 8. Create replicas of all these volumes, one on the same server, and another on a remote server. 9. Set ACLs on each directory as follows: local: only users of the imsa.edu cell can access data in this volume pub: any users can access data in this volume servers: only users on the AFS servers can access this volume intersession: only users who are in this intersession can access this volume 10. Update the RO copies of these volumes with the correct ACLs. 11. Create backup volumes for your home directories. Mount the backup volume under your home directory as "oldfiles" .
