installing 3.1 remotely on a mulit lim system

[TeleLion]

Is there any way we can install the ts_install.bin file on multiple LIMs remotely, it seems like after the installation a shutdown is needed and after that there is no access to the system, assuming u keep the same ip addresses and network configuration?

do you mean turnkey installation on remote lims??

you can always set the correct IP address/hostname on the remote lims and then do a software installation from LIM1
it will copy the needed RPM' on the remote lims (after that you can reboot each LIM)

I tried that, but the installation failed, with an error message ldap failed to start properly on remote lim, checked etc/init.d/eri_ladp on remote LIM and it was running. any ideas?

Am using 3.2 build 32 in my lab, but the real site will be 3.1 SP3, why?

there is a problem with an LDAP parameter with new 3.1 SP3 installs, normally an SA will soon be posted about this.

On LIM1 the file /etc/openldap/slapd.conf contains a 'threads' parameter. for some reason or another they set the parameter to 5 while it should be 6. (you will get error messages in /var/log/messages about too much connections).
restart eri_ldap after changing the parameter (if it is needed).
