Assignment 2 This assignment is worth 10% and is an individual assignment.
Information
You should have your host computer configured as the primary DNS server (lab 3) and master NIS server (lab 8) by now. In order to provide redundancy, we want to set up a seconday DNS server and slave NIS server. We also want to backup the configuration files and database files of those servers to a separate machine at a scheduled time.
Requirement
You are to develop a lab for OPS335 that demonstrates on how to set up a secondary DNS server on VM1, a slave NIS server on VM2, and a backup server on VM3 running Fedora 16. You should use any current OPS335 lab as a model (template) for your lab. Your lab should be a PDF document. Your lab should consist of at least 4 parts:
== PART 1 == Describe how to set up (configure) a secondary DNS server. You may have to mentioned the changes that need to be make on the Primary DNS server to support the secondary server. == PART 2 == Describe how to set up (configure) a slave NIS server. You may have to mentioned the changes that need to be make to the master NIS server as well. == PART 3 == Describe how to set up a backup server to pull the configuration data from ALL the servers (Primary DNS and master NIS on the host, secondary DNS on VM1, and slave NIS server on VM2). You should consider doing the following steps:
- run a shell script 1 minutes after midnight to package all configuration files and database file into a tar ball file. Name the tar ball file as host-conf-bu.tar on your host, vm1-conf-bu.tar on VM1, and vm2-conf-bu.tar on VM2. Create a separate directory for each day's backup file.
- if the tar ball file is created successfully, create a statue file in the same directory.
- run a shell script 1 minutes after 1:00am on vm3 transfer each backup file on host, VM1, and VM2 to VM3. Create a separate directory for each day's backup files.
PART 4
Create questions the student should answer upon completing the lab.
You lab should be original, individual work and made so that it can be completed in Lab T2017 on the PC available.
Submission
You need to submit two files by hard copy and email. The first file is the PDF file which contains PART 1 to PART 3, and the second file is the TXT file containing the questions and answers to the lab.
Evaluation
Your work will be graded based on understandability, thoroughness and correctness.
