[luau] Help Needed Thursday-Sunday

[Warren Togami]

Before their schools begin again next week we need to finish Mililani 
High School and St. John the Baptist Schools.

Mililani (Thursday and Friday)
===========
Thursday at 8am I am going to Mililani High School in order to reinstall 
their Sun E450 server with Solaris 9 u2.  This server is the terminal 
server powering about 30 SunRay thin clients.  I may need Sparc/Solaris 
help on this day because I have very little experience with this system.

Right now I'm installing Solaris 9 u2 for the first time on a Sun Ultra5 
in order to practice.  This seems easy enough, except I have a keyboard, 
mouse and monitor.  The Sun E450 doesn't have any of those, so we 
probably will need to install using a serial console on Thursday.  I 
don't have the cables necessary for this job.  I am trying to borrow 
cables from UH or perhaps the local Sun technicans.  Other than this I 
suspect the only other problem I will have is figuring out how to use 
the tape drive.

Is anyone available Thursday that has extensive knowledge about Sparc 
and Solaris, especially if you've worked on Sun E450 before?  If you 
come the school will be feeding us lunch.  Please do not come if you are 
not experienced.  If we cannot complete the job Thursday we will return 
Friday to finish things up.  Here is a list of things we must do:

* Backup /export/home
* Re-partition and install Solaris 9 u2
* restore /export/home
* Setup Sun Ray Server software
* Setup desktop software, settings, defaults, etc.
* Configure printing
* Figure out how to use the tape drive

St. John the Baptist (Saturday and Sunday)
====================
At St. John we need to do the following tasks:

* Re-Install Linux Terminal Server
* Make sure it is stable
* Configure desktop software defaults
* Configure printing
* Make sure it all works at the school

Please come this weekend also if you just want to learn more about LTSP 
setup.  More details will be posted soon about this school.
