Create And Remove A Remote Printer Queue (CLI)

By Julien Gabel on Wednesday 5 March 2008, 15:04

You can easily create and remove a remote printer queue using the BSD type spooler. You just have to fill the configuration file /tmp/lp.list properly, i.e. provide the local printer name, the remote LPD server, and the remote printer queue:

# cat << EOF > /tmp/lp.list
locname1 lpdserv1 remname1
locname2 lpdserv2 remname2
EOF

Then, just run the appropriate script depending of the desired behavior. Follow, an example when removing the two queues:

# cat << EOF > /tmp/lp.remove
#!/usr/bin/env sh

for lplocal in `awk '{print $1}' /tmp/lp.list`; do
  /usr/sbin/lpshut
  /usr/bin/cancel ${lplocal} -e 2> /dev/null
  /usr/sbin/lpadmin -x${lplocal}
  /usr/sbin/lpsched -v
  sleep 1
done

exit 0
EOF
# sh /tmp/lp.remove
scheduler stopped
scheduler is running
scheduler stopped
scheduler is running
# lpstat -olocname1
no system default destination
lpstat: "locname1" not a request id or a destination

And now, the creation:

# cat << EOF > /tmp/lp.create
#!/usr/bin/env sh

while read lp; do
  eval set -- `IFS=" "; printf '"%s" ' ${lp}`
  lplocal="$1"
  lpserver="$2"
  lpremote="$3"

  /usr/sbin/lpshut
  /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p${lplocal} -orm${lpserver} -orp${lpremote} \
   -mrmodel -v/dev/null -orc -ob3 -ocmrcmodel -osmrsmodel
  /usr/sbin/accept ${lplocal}
  /usr/bin/enable ${lplocal}
  /usr/sbin/lpsched -v
  sleep 1
done < /tmp/lp.list

exit 0
EOF
# sh /tmp/lp.create
scheduler stopped
destination "locname1" now accepting requests
printer "locname1" now enabled
scheduler is running
scheduler stopped
destination "locname2" now accepting requests
printer "locname2" now enabled
scheduler is running
# lpstat -olocname1
no system default destination
printer queue for locname1
                         Windows LPD Server
                   Printer \\lpdserv1
emname1
Owner       Status         Jobname          Job-Id    Size   Pages  Priority
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
hostname: locname1: ready and waiting
no entries

That's it!

Install and Configure the TSM Client on HP-UX Platform

By Julien Gabel on Saturday 2 July 2005, 23:31

  1. beastie is the hostname of the local system
  2. rafal is the hostname of the repository system hosting the necessary packages in the depot
  3. moliere is the hostname of the TSM backup server

Be sure to obtain the sam(1m) display:

# DISPLAY=beastie:0
# export DISPLAY

Check if the os level and product version agreed on the same specifications, and that there is sufficient disk space to install the TSM client components:

# uname -a
# model
# bdf /opt
# vgdisplay vg00
# swlist | grep OnLineJFS

Launch the System Administration Manager (see the sam(1) manual page for more information) and follow these steps:

# sam&
/*
 * Software Management
 *  Install Software to Local Host
 *   Source Depot Type: Network Directory/CDROM
 *   Source Host Name... rafal
 *   Source Depot Path... /var/spool/sw/1100
 *    select "TIVsm   5.2.2   Tivoli Storage Manager Client"
 */

Configure the new tool:

# cd /opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin
# cp dsm.sys.smp dsm.sys
# cp dsm.opt.smp dsm.opt
# nslookup moliere   /* Check that the backup server is available. */
# vi dsm.opt
# vi dsm.sys         /* Modify the `nodename' accordingly. */
# vi inclexcl.excl   /* Adapt the content following the recommendation from
                        the storage/backup team. */
# dsmc q ses         /* Tune the TSM Server Connection Information following
                        the recommendation from the storage/backup team. */

Launch the TSM scheduler at run-level #3:

# cat << EOF > /sbin/init.d/tsmsched
#!/bin/sh 

killproc() {            # kill the named process(es)
        pid=`/usr/bin/ps -ef|
             /usr/bin/grep '[d]smc sched' |
             awk '{ print $2 }'`
        if [ "$pid" != "" ];
        then
                kill $pid
                sleep 5
                kill -0 $pid
                [ $? -ne 0 ] && kill -9 $pid
        fi
}

startproc() {
        if [ -f /usr/bin/dsmc ]; then
                (/usr/bin/nohup /usr/bin/dsmc sched &) >/dev/null 2>&1
                echo  "dsmc
" 
        fi
}

case $1 in
'start_msg')
        echo  "starting TSM scheduler:" 
        ;;
'start')
        startproc
        ;;
'stop_msg')
        echo  "stopping TSM scheduler:" 
        ;;
'stop')
        killproc
        ;;
'restart')
        echo  "restarting TSM scheduler:" 
        killproc
        startproc
        ;;
*)
        echo "usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}"
        ;;
esac
EOF
# chmod 744 /sbin/init.d/tsmsched
# ln -s /sbin/init.d/tsmsched /sbin/rc3.d/S300tsmsched
# /sbin/rc3.d/S300tsmsched start
