Hello Tony,
I wrote some scripts to automate installing AFS on AIX.
( http://www.angelfire.com/hi/plutonic/afs_install.html )
Now, these need updating for the newer versions of AIX (5.3).
However, the general principle for installing/configuring
remain similar.
Here is an example logfile from "mk_afs_srv" which configures
the first server in a new AFS cell:
http://www.angelfire.com/hi/plutonic/logs/mk_afs_srv
Remember that AFS servers serve data out of /vicep[a-z] partitions.
This should give you a pretty good idea about what are the
steps in building the first server for a new AFS cell.
Note that this assumes use of the default kerberos service (not krb5).
HTH.

I've been reading about OpenAFS for about a year, and administering
FreeBSD servers full time for over 4 years now (wow! Been that long...),
and I've been wanting something to combat the "roaming profiles" that
windows provides, and it seems that OpenAFS would do the trick. Here's
what I have so far:
The server I have set up is approx 3Ghz P4 with 2GB RAM, and a mirrored
hardware SATA RAID with 200GB of available storage. I've set up a
pretty typical server install using about 15GB of that space, with
mountpoints /, /etc, /var, /tmp, and swap. The intent was to use the
rest as OpenAFS space, eventually housing /home for some Mac mini's in a
call center. This may eventually grow to replicate files at other
locations, but starting small here.
I've downloaded both the binaries and the sources, but I'm not clear on
where it all goes. Generally speaking, sources provide "make install"
to set things up for you, or singular statically compiled binaries to
place in /usr/local. This is neither, and I can't find any instructions.
The documentation goes on about compiling your kernel to support
OpenAFS, but after grepping for afs references, I've come up empty. So
where do I need to go from here?
(BTW, I would have searched the archives more thoroughly, but there
doesn't appear to be any search functionality for the archives!)
