<title>Installing an Additional File Server Machine</title>
<para>The procedure for installing a new file server machine is similar to installing the first file server machine in your
cell. There are a few parts of the installation that differ depending on whether the machine is the same AFS system type as an
existing file server machine or is the first file server machine of its system type in your cell. The differences mostly concern
the source for the needed binaries and files, and what portions of the Update Server you install: <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>On a new system type, you must load files and binaries from the
OpenAFS distribution. You may install the server portion of the
Update Server to make this machine the binary distribution machine
for its system type.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>On an existing system type, you can copy files and binaries
from a previously installed file server machine, rather
than from the OpenAFS distribution. You may install the client
portion of the Update Server to accept updates of binaries, because a
previously installed machine of this type was installed as the binary
distribution machine.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>On some system types, distribtution of the appropriate binaries
may be acheived using the system's own package management system. In
these cases, it is recommended that this system is used, rather than
installing the binaries by hand.</para>

<title>Installing Database Server Functionality</title>
<para>This section explains how to install database server functionality. Database server machines have two defining
characteristics. First, they run the Protection Server, and Volume Location (VL) Server processes. They
also run the Backup Server if the cell uses the AFS Backup System, as is assumed in these instructions. Second, they appear in
the <emphasis role="bold">CellServDB</emphasis> file of every machine in the cell (and of client machines in foreign cells, if
they are to access files in this cell).</para>
<para>Note the following requirements for database server machines. <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>In the conventional configuration, database server machines also serve as file server machines (run the File Server,
Volume Server and Salvager processes). If you choose not to run file server functionality on a database server machine,
then the kernel does not have to incorporate AFS modifications, but the local <emphasis role="bold">/usr/afs</emphasis>
directory must house most of the standard files and subdirectories. In particular, the <emphasis
role="bold">/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile</emphasis> file must contain the same keys as all other server machines in the cell. If
you run a system control machine, run the <emphasis role="bold">upclientetc</emphasis> process on every database server
machine other than the system control machine; if you do not run a system control machine, use the <emphasis
role="bold">bos addkey</emphasis> command as instructed in the chapter in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration
Guide</emphasis> about maintaining server encryption keys.</para>
<para>The instructions in this section assume that the machine on which you are installing database server functionality
is already a file server machine. Contact the OpenAFS mailing list to learn how to install database server
functionality on a non-file server machine.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>During the installation of database server functionality, you must restart all of the database server machines to
force the election of a new Ubik coordinator (synchronization site) for each database server process. This can cause a
system outage, which usually lasts less than 5 minutes.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Updating the kernel memory list of database server machines on each client machine is generally the most
time-consuming part of installing a new database server machine. It is, however, crucial for correct functioning in your
cell. Incorrect knowledge of your cell's database server machines can prevent your users from authenticating, accessing
files, and issuing AFS commands.</para>
<para>You update a client's kernel memory list by changing the <emphasis role="bold">/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB</emphasis>
file and then either rebooting or issuing the <emphasis role="bold">fs newcell</emphasis> command. For instructions, see
the chapter in the <emphasis>OpenAFS Administration Guide</emphasis> about administering client machines.</para>
<para>The point at which you update your clients' knowledge of database server machines depends on which of the database
server machines has the lowest IP address. The following instructions indicate the appropriate place to update your client
machines in either case. <itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>If the new database server machine has a lower IP address than any existing database server machine, update
the <emphasis role="bold">CellServDB</emphasis> file on every client machine before restarting the database server
processes. If you do not, users can become unable to update (write to) any of the AFS databases. This is because the
machine with the lowest IP address is usually elected as the Ubik coordinator, and only the Coordinator accepts
database writes. On client machines that do not have the new list of database server machines, the Cache Manager
cannot locate the new coordinator. (Be aware that if clients contact the new coordinator before it is actually in
service, they experience a timeout before contacting another database server machine. This is a minor, and
temporary, problem compared to being unable to write to the database.)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If the new database server machine does not have the lowest IP address of any database server machine, then it
is better to update clients after restarting the database server processes. Client machines do not start using the
new database server machine until you update their kernel memory list, but that does not usually cause timeouts or
update problems (because the new machine is not likely to become the coordinator).</para>

<para>It is best to maintain a one-to-one mapping between hostnames and IP addresses on a multihomed database server

routine possibly returns addresses in a different order on different machines, which can create inconsistency.</para>
