You are to develop a procedure for setting up a secondary DNS server on VM3VM2, a slave NIS server on VM1, and a backup server on VM2 VM3 running Fedora 20. The procedure should include test cases to verify that your set up has been completed correctly. Please break down your procedure into the following four phases:
==Phase 1 - Secondary DNS Configuration==
Due Date: July 31, 2015
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.
==Phase 2 - Slave NIS server configuration ==
'''Due Date: August 7, 2015'''
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.
==Phase 3 - Automated Back-ups ==
'''Due Date: August 7, 2015'''
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 minute after midnight to package all configuration files and database files into a tar ball file. Name the tar ball file as <date>-host-conf-bu.tar on your host, <date>-vm1-conf-bu.tar on VM1, and <date>-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 status file in the same directory.
# run a shell script 1 minute after 1:00am on vm3 transfer each backup file on host, VM1, and VM2 to VM3 if the backup file was created successfully. Create a separate directory for storing each day's backup files using the date so the back ups are sorted.
