slapit

some days you need to build a slap server from scratch on ubuntu 12.04 using an existing ldif.

it is a given that you've pre-pop'd all with the correct stuff in /etc/default/ldap and in /etc/ldap , too. i like to keep a copy of DB_CONFIG around, because it is nifty.
slapit.sh

#!/bin/bash

TIMESTAMP=$(date '+%Y%m%d%H%M')
BACKUPDIR=/nfs/export

/etc/init.d/slapd stop ;
mv /var/lib/ldap /var/lib/ldap-$TIMESTAMP ;
mkdir /var/lib/ldap ;
cp /etc/ldap/DB_CONFIG /var/lib/ldap ;
slapadd -c -l /tmp/$BACKUPDIR/backup.ldif ;
chown -R openldap.openldap /var/lib/ldap ;
/etc/init.d/slapd start

DB_CONFIG

set_lk_max_objects 1500
set_lk_max_locks 1500

fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

does a sun box have all the requisite stuff for a flar create?

maybe.

why not just check it out.  if not, then grap the binaries from elsewhere and plop them in the right place.  it works, really.
for those pesky sol 5.7 systems, issue flarcreate -H cause computehash doesn't work with them.

afterward, cp the binaries to the locations.  if in doubt run ldd -f ./binary

nb:
fdo requires a directory (if you have to mkdir -p you have bigger problems):
mkdir /usr/lib/flash/

strip a sol8/9/10 system for golden image creation

here's a nice script to clean a system prior to making a golden image.
