Overview: Completing the Installation of the First AFS Machine

The machine is now configured as an AFS file server and client machine. In this final phase of the installation, you initialize the Cache Manager and then create the upper levels of your AFS filespace, among other procedures. The procedures are:

  1. Verify that the initialization script works correctly, and incorporate it into the operating system's startup and shutdown sequence

  2. Create and mount top-level volumes

  3. Create and mount volumes to store system binaries in AFS

  4. Enable access to foreign cells

  5. Institute additional security measures

  6. Remove client functionality if desired
