1. First, we need to locate and download the correct drivers from Internet or vendor’s web site.

2. Install the driver into the system: pkgadd -d  package_name/driver_name

3. Get the device’s and vendor’s IDs with: prtconf -pv | more

4. Update the driver: update_drv -a -I ‘ “pci14c4,154a”‘ ipreb

5. Enable the NIC interface: ifconfig -a plumb

Assign the IP address for the new NIC:

1. vi /etc/hostname.ipreb, hostname

2. vi /etc/inet/hosts, hostname  192.168.1.1

3. vi /etc/inet/netmasks, 192.168.0.0  255.255.255.0

4. vi /etc/defaultrouter, 192.168.1.254

5. vi /etc/resolv.conf, nameserver 192.168.1.10

Finally, you can reboot your machine to take effect.

For Zypper, you can:

Search packages with: zypper search <package-name>

Install packages with: zypper install <package-name-1> <package-name-2> <….>

Update all installed packages with: zypper update

zypper service-add repository-url = installation_source

Mod rewrite

It’s always good to force users to access things like webmail via https, this can be accomplished with mod_rewrite.

Enable the mod_rewrite module

a2enmod rewrite

Then add the following to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RewriteEngine   on
RewriteCond     %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule     ^/webmail(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/webmail$1 [L,R]
RewriteLog      "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 2
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Force an SSL connection and redirect all traffic to port 80 to port 443 (HTTPS), use this instead:

vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RewriteEngine   on
RewriteCond     %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule     ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R]
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Restart Apache2:

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

When you want to give the Domino server a new identity and then (optionally) change it back to its original identity, follow the steps below.

1) Exit the Domino server if it is running.

2) Copy notes.ini from the Domino program directory to a backup directory.

3) Move names.nsf from the Domino data directory to a backup directory.

4) Move all IDs from the Domino data directory to a backup directory.

5) Edit the notes.ini in the Domino program directory by removing all but the top four lines and save the file.

The notes.ini should look similar to this:

[Notes]
NotesProgram=C:\Program Files\Domino
Directory=C:\Program Files\Domino\data
KitType=2

6) Move all mail files from the \Data\Mail directory to a backup directory.

7) Rerun setup, creating new IDs.

Launch the Domino server to confirm the new server identity/configuration works.

At this point, the existing Domino Administrator client (as well as the Notes and Designer client) is going to be looking at the original configuration information when launched (original admin’s ID, Server info in the client notes.ini, administration preferences, etc.), so you will also want to backup the original client configuration and then rerun setup on the client to avoid configuration mismatches after you have changed the identity of the Domino server.

In other words, you want to re-setup the client so that it looks up the new administrator and configures to the new server settings.

1) Exit the Domino Administrator client if it is running.

2) Move the admin’s ID (user.id by default) from the \Notes\Data directory to a backup directory.

3) Move names.nsf from the \Notes\Data directory to a backup directory.

4) Move the other user-specific client files - bookmark.nsf, desktop6.ndk, cache.ndk, and domadmin.nsf (this is where the administration preferences in the Admin client are stored) - to a backup directory.

5) Copy notes.ini from the Notes program directory to a backup directory.

6) Edit the notes.ini in the Notes program directory by removing all but the top four lines and save the file.

The notes.ini should look similar to this:

[Notes]
NotesProgram=C:\Program Files\Domino
Directory=C:\Program Files\Domino\data
KitType=1

7) Rerun setup, using the new administrator’s name and new home server information.

Launch the Domino Administrator client to confirm that the new configuration settings work.

9) Explore the new server with the Domino Administrator client.

1) Exit the Domino server if it is running.

2) Move newly created IDs to a backup directory.

3) Move newly created names.nsf to a backup directory.

4) Move newly created notes.ini to a backup directory.

5) Replace original IDs, notes.ini, names.nsf and mail files.

6) Launch the Domino server. This should be the original server and configuration.

1) Exit the Domino Administrator client if it is running.

2) Move newly created IDs to a backup directory.

3) Move newly created names.nsf, bookmark.nsf, desktop6.ndk, cache.ndk and domadmin.nsf to backup directory.

4) Move newly created notes.ini to backup directory.

5) Replace original IDs, notes.ini, and names.nsf.

6) Launch the original server.

7) Launch the Domino Administrator client. You should be able to connect as the original administrator and view the original server using the Domino Administrator client.

When you want to make significant changes to the configuration of your Domino server without reinstalling Domino, follow these steps:

1) Exit the Domino server if it is running.

2) Copy names.nsf from the Domino\Data directory to a backup directory. (Note: This is a backup precaution.)

3) Copy notes.ini from the Data directory to a backup directory. (Note: This is a backup precaution.)

4) In the notes.ini in the Domino program directory, remove all but the top four lines, and then save and close the file.

The notes.ini should look like this:

[Notes]
NotesProgram=C:\Program Files\Domino
Directory=C:\Program Files\Domino\data
KitType=2

5) Launch the Domino server to rerun setup. At this point all you are doing is repopulating the notes.ini and creating a new names.nsf a. Select the option to use an existing server ID file
b. Choose to use an existing certifier ID file.
c. Type in the same Domino domain name when prompted.
d. Choose to use an existing administrator ID file.

6) Complete any remaining screens and finish the setup routine. Make the desired changes to the configuration as you progress through the setup routine.

7) The new configuration settings will be implemented when you start the Domino server.
