SCO Embedded Configuration Toolkit Whitepaper

Server configuration

Server configuration

When you use the toolkit to customize an embedded application environment, usually you must start by customizing an administrative server.

NOTE: Administrative servers are not always necessary, for example, a configuration of Network Computers would not need such a server.

The server you customize using the toolkit is primarily an administrative server. However, it can also be an installation, application and boot server. The result of your customizing is a server supplement that can only be installed on a system that already has SCO OpenServer Release 5.0 installed.

The installation of the server supplement converts the target system into an administrative server. It contains toolkit-specific utilities such as posinstall(P_ADM), client_reboot(P_ADM) and kconfig(P_ADM). The supplement also contains utilities that enable you to relink client UNIX kernels.

NOTE: The server supplement is only truly created once it has been cut. At this stage you are only specifying the configuration details that must be included in the supplement.
