1.7 Completing the EVMS Configuration

Because the lab exercises involve an NSS partition on the system hard disk, and because NSS requires EVMS for full functionality on the system hard disk, the instructions in Section 1.3, Installing the Server Software led you through setting up your lab server’s hard disk to be managed by EVMS.

Now it’s time to finish the EVMS configuration:

  1. Log in to the server as the root user.

  2. When the desktop loads, click Computer > YaST Administrator Settings.

  3. In the YaST Control Center, click System > System Services (Runlevel).

  4. Select Expert Mode.

  5. In the Service list, select boot.evms, click the Set/Reset drop-down list, then select Enable the service.

  6. In the Service list, select boot.lvm, click the Set/Reset drop-down list, then select Disable the service.

  7. In the Service list, select boot.md, click the Set/Reset drop-down list, then select Disable the service.

  8. Click Finish > Yes.

  9. Close the YaST Control Center.

  10. Restart the computer by clicking Computer > Log out > Log out.

  11. At the bottom of the Login splash screen, click Reboot, then type the root password and press Enter.

  12. After the server restarts, continue with Setting Up the Server as an SLP Directory Agent.
