Chapter 1 System Overview and Suppor ted Standards 21 A standards-based directory ser vices architecture o ers centraliz ed management of network resourc es using any LDAP server–even proprietary ser vers such as Microsoft Active Directory . The open source UNIX foundation makes it easy t o por t and deploy existing tools to Mac OS X Ser ver .
 W eb T echnologies: Mac OS X Ser ver is a complete AMP stack (a bundle of integrat ed Apache-MySQL-PHP/Perl/Python software). Mac OS X Ser ver web technologies are based on the open sourc e Apache web server , the most widely used HT TP ser ver on the Internet.
Chapter 1 System Overview and Suppor ted Standards 23 Â XMPP: Ex tensible Messaging and P resenc e Pr otocol (XMPP) is an open XML-based messaging protocol used f or messaging and presence information.
24 Before installing and setting up Mac OS X Ser ver do a little planning and become familiar with your options . The major goals of the planning phase are to make sure that: Ser ver user and administ.
Chapter 2 Planning Server Usage 25 During the planning stage, you’ll also decide which installation and server setup options best suit your needs. For e xample, G etting Started contains an example that illustrates server installation and initial setup in a small business scenario with the ser ver in using Ser ver P references.
If you ’ve been planning to r eplace a Windows NT computer , consider using Mac OS X Ser ver with its extensive built-in suppor t for Windows clients. Mak e sure that administrat ors familiar with these other systems ar e par t of the planning process .
Chapter 2 Planning Server Usage 27 Home folders f or network users can be consolidated on to one server or distributed  among various servers. Although you can move home f olders, you might need to change a large number of user and share poin t records , so devise a strategy that will persist for a reasonable amoun t of time.
Dening a M igration Str ategy If you ’ re using Mac OS X Ser ver v1 0.4–1 0.5 or a Windows-based server , examine the oppor tunities for mo ving data and settings to Mac OS X Ser ver v1 0.6. Upgrading and Migrating from an Earlier V ersion of Mac OS X Ser ver If you ’ re using computers with Mac OS X Ser ver v1 0.
Chapter 2 Planning Server Usage 29 The rst aspect primarily involv es director y ser vices integration. Identify which Mac OS X Ser ver computers will use existing directories (such as Active Dir ector y , LDAPv3, and NIS directories) and existing authentication setups (such as Kerberos).
F or example, if you use Mac OS X Ser ver to provide DHCP , network time, or BootP ser vices to other servers, you should set up the ser vers that provide these services and initiate the services before you set up servers that depend on those services.
Chapter 2 Planning Server Usage 31 Making Sure Required Ser ver Hardwar e Is A vailable Y ou might want to postpone setting up a server until all its hardware is in plac e. F or example, you might not want to set up a server whose data you wan t to mirror until all disk drives y ou need for mirroring are available .
Understanding Backup and Restore P olicies There are man y reasons to have a backup and rest ore policy . Y our data is subject to failure because of failed c omponents , natural or manmade disasters, or data corruption. Sometimes data loss is beyond your con trol to prevent, but with a backup and restor e plan, you can restor e your data.
Chapter 2 Planning Server Usage 33 Y our organization must determine the follo wing: What must be backed up? Â What should not be backed up (as per organization policy)? Â How granular are the re st.
Understanding Backup Scheduling Backing up les requires time and resour ces. Before deciding on a backup plan, consider the follo wing questions: How much data will be backed up? Â How much time w.
Chapter 2 Planning Server Usage 35 Consider the f ollowing questions: How long will it take to restor e data at each lev el of granularity? Â F or example, how long will a deleted le or email take.
 Capacity . If you back up only a small amount of data, low-capacity storage media can do the job . But if y ou need to back up large amounts of data, use high-capacity devices , such as a RAID .
Chapter 2 Planning Server Usage 37 F or example, T ime Machine doesn ’t back up user and group director y records , email, DNS records , A ddress Book shared groups, iCal Ser ver calendars, and so forth. It only save s the settings made in Ser ver P refer ences and Server Admin, and whether a ser vice is on or o .
38 Manage Mac OS X S er ver using graphical applications or command-line tools . Mac OS X Ser ver v1 0.6 administration applications must be run from either Mac OS X Ser ver v1 0.6 or M ac OS X v1 0.6. Ser ver Admin Y ou use Ser ver Admin to administer services on Mac OS X Ser ver computers.
Chapter 3 Administra tion T ools 39 Ser ver Admin In ter face The Ser ver Admin in ter face is shown here, with each element explained in the following table .
D Main W ork Area: Shows status and conguration options . This looks di erent f or each service and for each context button selected. E A vailable ser vers: Lists the local-network scanner , which y ou can use to discover servers to add to your server list.

iCal Ser vice Utility iCal Ser vice Utility gives users access to shared inf ormation about locations and resourc es. Users can use iCal Ser vice Utilit y to set up information about shared resourc es and locations for use with iC al Ser vice.
Chapter 3 Administra tion T ools 47 Syst em Image Management Y ou can use the following Mac OS X Ser ver applications to set up and manage NetBoot and NetInstall images: Â System Image Utility creates Mac OS X disk images . It’ s installed with M ac OS X Ser ver software in the /Applications/Ser ver/ folder .
Command-Line T ools If you ’ re an administrator who pref ers to work in a command-line environmen t, you can do so with Mac OS X Ser ver . F rom the T erminal application in Mac OS X, y ou can use .
Chapter 3 Administra tion T ools 49 P odcast Capture , Composer , and Producer P odcast Capture takes audio and video from a local or remot e camera, captures screen activity , or uploads Quick Time les into P odcast Producer f or encoding and distribution.
Apple Remote Desktop Apple Remote Desktop (ARD), which you can optionally purchase, is an easy-to-use network-computer management applica tion. I t simplies the setup , monitoring , and maintenance of r emote computers and lets y ou interact with users.
51 By vigilantly adhering to security policies and practices , you can minimize the threa t to syst em int egrity and data privacy . Mac OS X Ser ver is built on a robust UNIX foundation that c ontains man y security feature s in its core architecture.
About Network Security Network security is as impor tant to data integrity as physical security . Although someone might immediately see the need to lock do wn an expensive server , he or she might not immediately see the need to r estrict access to the data on that same server .
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 53 This allows an or ganization to pro vide ser vices to the external network while protecting the internal network from being compr omised by a host in the DMZ. I f someone compromises a DMZ host , he or she cannot connect to the internal network.
In theor y , MA C ltering allows a network administrator to permit or deny netw ork access to hosts and devic es associated with the MA C address, although in practice there are methods to a void this form of access contr ol through address modica tion (spoong) or the phy sical exchange of network car ds between hosts.
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 55 Most transport encr yption requires the par ticipation of both parties in the transac tion. Some ser vices (such as SMTP mail service) can’ t reliably use such techniques, so encr ypting the le itself is the only method of reliably securing the le conten t.
 Secure VM: Secure VM encr ypts system vir tual memor y (memor y data temporarily written to the hard disk), not user les. I t improve s system security by keeping vir tual memor y les from being read and exploit ed.  Disk Utility : Disk Utility can create disk images whose conten ts are encrypted and password prot ected.
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 57 In Mac OS X Ser ver , users trying to access services (like logging in to a director y-aware workstation, or tr ying to mount a remot e volume) must authen ticate by pr oviding a login name and password bef ore privileges f or the users can be determined.
W eb S er vice (Apache via the SPNEGO Simple and P rotected GSS-API Negotiation  Mechanism protocol) Xgrid   Storing passwor ds in user accounts .
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 59 Kerberos also provide s a single sign-on envir onment where users must a uthenticate only once a day , week, or other period of time, easing authentication loads for users . Mac OS X Ser ver and Mac OS X versions 1 0.3 through 1 0.
W eb, mail, and director y ser vices use the public key with SSL to negotiate a shar ed key for the duration of the c onnection. F or example, a mail ser ver will send its public key to a connecting client and initiate negotiation for a secure c onnection.
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 61 About Identitie s Identities are a c er ticate and a priva te key , together . The certicate identies the user , and the private key corre sponds to the c er ticate. A single user can have sever al identities; for any given user each certicate could hav e a di erent name, email address , or issuer .
Several keychains can hold certicates: Â SystemRootC er ticates: This keychain holds root certicates that ship with Mac OS X. The certicates already ha ve trust given t o them. Â System: This keychain holds cer ticates that the comput er administrator can add .
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 63 The Ser ver Admin in ter face is shown below , with Cer ticates selected. Certicate Manager provides int egrated managemen t of SSL certicates in Mac OS X Ser ver for services that allow the use of SSL certicates.
When certicates and keys are impor ted via Certicate Manager , they ar e put in the /etc/certicates/ director y . The director y contains four PEM f ormatted les f or every identity : The .
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 65 Creating a Self-Signed C er ticate A self-signed certicate is generated at server setup. Although it is available for use , you may w ant to customiz e the information in the cer ticate , so you would creat e a new self-signed certicate.
4 Click the Action button below the certicates list and choose “Generate Certicate Signing Request (CSR).” Certicate manager creates the signing r equest and shows the ASCII te xt version in the sheet. 5 Click Save t o save the CSR t o the disk.
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 67 5 If you override the defaults , provide the f ollowing information in the next few screens: A unique serial number for the root certicate  The number of days the .
Using a CA to Crea te a C er ticate f or Someone Else Y ou can use your CA certicate to issue a cer ticate to someone else . By doing so you are stating you w ant to be a trusted party that can cer tify the identity of the cer ticate holder .
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 69 7 Click the Impor t button. If prompted , en ter the priva te key passphrase . Managing Cer ticate s After you creat e and sign a cer ticate, you won ’t do much more with it. Since certicates cannot be edited , you can either delete , replace, or revoke cer ticates after they are created .
F or instruc tions on how to do this, see “ Replacing an Existing Cer ticate ” on page 71 . Distributing a CA Public Certicate to Clien ts If you ’ re using self-signed cer ticates , a w arning appears in most user applications saying that the CA is not recogniz ed.
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 71 5 Click Save . Renewing an Expiring Certicate Certicates hav e an expiration date and must be r enewed periodically . Renewing a certicate is the same as replacing a cer ticate with a newly generat ed one with an updated expiration da te.
SSH and SSH Keys SSH is a network protocol that e stablishes a secure channel between y our computer and a remote comput er . It uses public-key cr yptography t o authen ticate the remot e computer . I t also provides trac encryption and data integrity exchanged between computers.
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 73 The -b ag sets the length of the keys to 1,02 4-bits, -t indicates to use the RSA hashing algorithm, -f sets the le name as id_rsa, and -P follow ed by two single-quote marks sets the private key passwor d to be null.
$count = @{[$_ =~ /$match/g]}; if($count > 0) { $flag = 1; } } close SBUFF; if($flag == 1) { "ssh $server -x -o batchmode=yes shutdown -r now" } } Administr ation L evel Securit y Mac OS X Ser ver can use another level of access con trol for added security .
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 75 Y ou can determine which ser vices other admin group users can modify . T o do this, the administrator making the determination must have full, unmodied access. The proce ss for setting administration lev el pr ivileges is found in “ T iered Administration P ermissions” on page 1 49 .
Securit y Best P ractices Ser ver administrators must make sure that adequat e secur ity measures are implemented to pr otect a ser ver from attacks . A compromised server risks the resourc es and data on the server and risks the resources and da ta on other connected systems.
Chapter 4 Enhancing Security 77 Do not use administrator (UNIX “admin ” group) accounts for daily use .  Restrict the use of administration privileges by keeping the admin login and password separa te from daily use . Back up critical data on the system regularly , with a copy stored at a secure o-site  location.
Creating C omplex P asswor ds Use the follo wing tips to creat e complex passwords: Use a mix of alphabetic (upper and lower case), numeric, and special characters  (such as ! and @). Don ’t use w ords or combinations of w ords found in a dictionary of any language.
79 Whether you install Mac OS X Ser ver on a single ser ver or a cluster of ser vers , there are tools and proc esse s to help the installation and deploymen t succeed. Some computers come with Mac OS X Ser ver software already installed . Other computers need the ser ver software installed.
Step 3: Set up the environmen t If you are not in complete c ontrol of the network en vironment (DNS ser vers, DHCP ser ver , rewall, and so for th) coordinate with your netw ork administrator bef ore installing.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 81 “ Â Installing Remotely with Ser ver Assistant” on page 101 “ Â Installing Remotely with Screen Sharing and VNC ” on page 1 02 “ Â Using the installer Command-Line T ool to Install Ser ver Software” on page 1 04 Step 7: Set Up Ser vices Restart from the target disk to proceed to setup .
Setting Up Network Ser vices Before y ou can install, you must set up the following f or your network ser vice: Â DNS: Y ou must have a fully qualied domain name for each server ’ s IP addess in the DNS system. The DNS zone must hav e the reverse-lookup rec ord for the name and address pair .
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 83 Mac OS X Ser ver Install Disc The Install Disc has a Documentation folder with Getting Started , Installation & S etup W orksheet , and a Read Me le. I t also contains an Other Installs folder , which has the following installer packages: Ser verAdministrationSoftware .
When you install and set up Mac OS X Ser ver on a computer tha t has a display and keyboard, it ’ s already an administrator computer . T o make a computer with Mac OS X into an administrat or computer , you must install additional software. Impor tant: If you have administrativ e applications and tools from Mac OS X Server v1 0.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 85 Star ting Up from the Install DVD This is the simplest method of starting the computer , if you hav e physical access the ser ver and it has DVD drive.
Howev er , if you are r einstalling regularly , or if you are cr eating an external Fir ewire drive-based installation to take to v arious computers , or if you need some other kind mass distribution (such as clustered Xserves without DVD drives installed), this method can be very ecient.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 87 4 Select File > New > Disk Image from <device>. 5 Give the image a name; select Read-only , R ead/Write , or Compr essed as the image type; and then click Save . 6 After the image is complete , select the image from list on the left.
Tip: ∏ Y ou can use asr to restor e a disk over a netw ork, multicasting the blocks to client computers. Using the multicast ser ver featur e of asr , you could put a copy of the installer image on a par tition of all computers that can rec eive the multicast packets.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 89 This is usually the rst eight characters of the server ’ s built-in hardware serial number . F or more information about this password , see “ About S er ver Serial Numbers for Default Installation P asswords ” on page 90 .
2 Identify the target server . If you don ’t know the IP address and the remote server is on the local subnet, you can nd ser vers using the comannd line . F or more information about this pr ocess , see “Identifying Remote Servers When Installing Mac OS X Ser ver ” on page 90.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 91 Y ou can use the dns-sd tool to identify comput ers on the local subnetwhere you can install ser ver software. Enter the following fr om a computer on the same local network as the ser ver: dns-sd -B _sa-rspndr.
Step 1: Create a NetInstall image from the Install D VD This step doesn ’t need to be done on the tar get computer . I t can be done on an administrator comput er that has enough free s pace to image the entir e Install DVD .
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 93 If you ’ re using an installation disc for Mac OS X Ser ver v1 0.6, you can per form these tasks from another networked computer using VNC viewer software, such as Apple Remote Desktop , before beginning a clean installa tion.
A case-sensitive volume is supported as a star t volume format. An HFSX le system for Mac OS X Ser ver must be specically selected when erasing a volume and preparing a disk before initial installation. If you are planning to use NFS, you should use case-sensitive HFSX.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 95 P artitioning a Disk Y ou can use the Installer to open Disk Utilit y and then use Disk Utility to par tition the installation target disk int o desired v olumes.
Additional inf ormation about diskutil and other uses can be found in Intr oduction to Command-Line Administr ation. F or complete command syntax for diskutil, consult the tool’ s man page. The specic command issued depends on y our disk format needs and the hardware in use.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 97 Y ou can combine RAID sets to combine their benets. For example , y ou can create a RAID set that combines the fast disk access of a striped RAID set and the data protection of a mirrored RAID set.
5 Drag the disks to the window . 6 F ollow the instruc tions in the window to set parameters . 7 Click Create . Y ou can nd instructions for par titioning the hard disk into multiple v olumes , creating a RAID set, and erasing the target disk or partition by viewing Disk Utilit y Help.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 99 Erasing a Disk or P ar tition Y ou have sev eral options for erasing a disk, depending on your preferred tools and your computing en vironment: Â Erasing a disk using Disk Utility : Y ou can use the Installer to open Disk Utilit y and then use it to erase the target v olume or another volume.
Installing Locally fr om the Installation Disc Y ou can install Mac OS X Ser ver directly onto a computer with a displa y , a keyboard , and a DVD drive attached , as shown in the following illustra tion: Installer application or installer tool in T erminal application If you hav e an Install DVD , the optical driv e must be able to read DVD discs.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 10 1 After installation is complete , the target server restarts and you can per form initial ser ver setup . Chapter 6 , “ Initial Ser ver Setup,” on page 1 08 describes how .
3 Select the target ser ver from the list of servers waiting for installation. If neither the target ser ver nor the list appear , mak e sure the target server is on the same local subnet as the administrator comput er . 4 If the target computer is not on the same local subnet as the administrat or computer , add the ser ver manually .
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 10 3 F or detailed instruc tions for connecting to a computer running fr om an Install DVD , see “Remotely Acce ssing the Install DVD” on page 88. Impor tant: If you per form an upgrade, make sure that saved setup da ta won ’t be detected and used by the server .
sudo shutdown -r now # Method 2 sudo systemsetup -liststartupdisks sudo systemsetup -setstartupdisk <path to disk root> Using the installer C ommand-Line T ool to Install Ser ver Soft ware Y ou use the installer tool to install server sof tware on a local or remote c omputer from the command line.
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 10 5 4 If you hav en ’t already done so , prepare the disks for installation. F or more information about preparing the disks for installation, see “Preparing Disks f or Installing Mac OS X Ser ver ” on page 92 .
Installing Multiple Ser vers Most Ecient Methods of Installation The most ecient method of installation w ould be completely a utomated . Opening the T er minal application and using the installer tool to initiat e each ser ver software installation doesn ’t accomplish this eciently .
Chapter 5 Installation and Deployment 10 7 Upgrading a C omputer from Mac OS X to Mac OS X Ser ver This is not supported in Mac OS X S er ver v1 0.6. P er form a clean installation instead . How to Keep C urrent After you ’ve set up your server , you’ll w ant to updat e it when Apple releases server software updates.
10 8 Basic characteristics of your Mac OS X Ser ver are established during ser ver setup . The ser ver can opera te in three di erent congura tions: advanc ed , standard , and workgroup . After installing ser ver software , the next task is to set up the ser ver .
Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 10 9 If you ’ re setting up a ser ver without a keyboard or display , y ou can enter the f ollowing in the T er minal application to shut down the server remotely: sud.
Default SSH and Apple Remote Desktop sta te is enabled . Â Network interfaces (por ts) are congured . Â T CP/IP and Ethernet settings are dened f or each por t you want t o activate .
Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 111 Â Impor t Users and Groups This setting connects the ser ver to an existing Open Directory or Active Director y system, impor ting the users and groups from an existing directory system. Y ou can impor t Open Director y users or Active Director y users.
Even if y ou want to change the server ’ s director y setup, selec ting “Congur e Manually ” is the safest option, especially if you ’r e considering changing a ser ver’ s shared director y conguration.
Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 11 3 T o interactively c onnect to an additional directory ser ver: 1 Open the Accoun ts pane of System P references on y our ser ver .
The follo wing illustration shows tar get servers on the same subnet as the administrator comput er in one scenario and target servers on a di erent subnet in the other scenario . Both setup scenarios can be used to set up ser vers on the same and di erent subnets.
Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 11 5 If the computer you wan t to congure doe sn ’t appear in the list, you can add it manually by clicking the Add button and supplying the request ed information. 6 Remove comput ers from the conguration list tha t you don ’t want t o set up by selecting them and click ing the Remove button.
The aut omatic approach is useful when you: Have mor e than a few servers to set up  W ant to prepare for setting up servers that aren ’t yet a vailable  W ant to save setup data f or backup purposes  Need to reinstall servers frequently  Y ou can keep backup copies of setup data les on a network le ser ver .
Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 11 7 Y ou can dene generic setup data that can be used to set up any ser ver . For example , you can dene generic setup data for a server that’ s on order , or to congure 50 Xser ve computers y ou want to be identically congured .
Using Encryption with S etup Data F iles Saved setup data can be encrypted for extra security . Before a server sets itself up using encr ypted setup data, it must have acc ess to the pass phrase used when the data was encrypted. F or interactive setup, the passphrase is entered using Server Assistant during setup .
Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 11 9 If setup data is encr ypted , the ser ver needs the correct passphrase befor e setting itself up . Y ou can use S er ver Assistan t to supply the passphrase in tera.
T o use setup data from a le remotely: 1 Create the f older for the setup le on the remote ser ver . a Connect to the remote server . ssh root@<server address> b Create the saved setup f older on the remote ser ver .
Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 12 1 Handling Setup Errors When a server encounters a setup problem, Ser ver Assistant sho ws a description of the setup error , and gives some opportunit y to either x it or try again.
Setting Up Ser vices After installation and initial startup, the rst time you open Ser ver Admin, you see any ser vices that w ere congured during server setup listed underneath the ser ver’ s name in the ser ver list.
Chapter 6 Initial Server Setup 12 3 Setting Up Open Director y Unless your server must be integrat ed with another vendor’ s director y system or the director y architecture of a server you’ re upgrading needs changing immediately , you can begin using the directories you c ongured during ser ver setup .

Chapter 7 Ongoing System Managemen t 13 3 The follo wing sections give guidance regarding the types of changes will be necessary for a name or IP addre ss change. Understanding Mac OS X Ser ver Names Three names ar e used by Mac OS X Ser ver: computer name, local hostname, and DNS name.
Y our network conguration might hav e other domains, computers, and record types that are impacted by a server ’ s IP address change (SR V records , for instance). These other records should be examined thoroughly after an y change to a ser ver ’ s IP address .
Chapter 7 Ongoing System Managemen t 13 5 Changing the DNS name of the director y ser ver require s that all bound machines be rebound to the new directory name and address. If you hav e set up a Kerberos envir onment, the Kerberos realm does not change when the hostname is changed.
VPN VPN ser vers allocate IP addr ess ranges t o VPN clients and mediate DNS queries of VPN clients. Any of these can be a ec ted by a change to the VPN ser ver ’ s IP address or domain name. Additionally , the VPN ser ver con tains routing denitions based on IP addresses .
Chapter 7 Ongoing System Managemen t 13 7 MySQL In general, MySQL is not a ected by changing an IP address or DNS name. However , none of the data in the databases is alter ed when the DNS name or IP address are changed. Y ou are res p onsible for replacing r efer ences to the DNS name and addr ess (if used) in your databases .
F or the most par t, changing the network address or DNS name of a le server has no internal a ec t on le ser vices. The le ser vice processes monitor netw ork interfaces for changes and adapt as nec essary without administrator intervention.

Some single points of failure include: Computer syst em  Hard disk  P ower supply  Although it is almost impossible to eliminate all single poin ts of failure , you should minimize them as much as possible. For example , using a backup computer and a le storage pool for Mac OS X Server eliminates the computer as a single poin t of failure.
Chapter 7 Ongoing System Managemen t 161 Using Backup P ower In the architecture of a server solution, p ower is a single poin t of failure. If power goes out, your servers go down without warning. T o prevent a sudden disruption in services, consider adding a backup source of pow er .
The aut omatic restart options are: Â Restart automatically after a power failure . The power management unit automatically starts up the ser ver after a power failure .
Chapter 7 Ongoing System Managemen t 16 3 Link Aggr egation Although not common, the failure of a switch, cable, or net work interface card can cause your server to become una vailable . T o eliminate these single points of failur e , you can use link aggregation or trunking.
About the Link Aggr egation C ontrol Pr otocol (LA CP) IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation dene s a protocol called Link A ggregation Control Pr otocol (LA CP) that is used by Mac OS X Ser ver to aggrega te (combine) multiple ports into a link aggrega te (a virtual por t) that can be used for TCP and UDP connections.
Chapter 7 Ongoing System Managemen t 16 5 Comput er to Swit ch In this scenario shown in the follo wing illustration, you connect your server to a switch congured f or 802.
F or example, you can connect two links to the master switch and the remaining links to the backup switch. As long as the master switch is active , the backup switch remains inactive. I f the master switch fails , the backup switch takes o ver trans parently .
Chapter 7 Ongoing System Managemen t 16 7 The interface name bond <num> assigned by the system is di erent from the name you give t o the link aggregate port conguration. The interface name is for use at the command line , but the por t conguration name is for use in the Network pane of System P references .
Load Balancing One factor that can cause services to become unav ailable is server overload. A ser ver has limited resour ces and can service a limited number of requests simultaneously . If the ser ver gets overloaded , it slows down and can eventually crash.
Chapter 7 Ongoing System Managemen t 16 9 Daemon Over view By the time a user logs in to a Mac OS X system, a number of processes are running . Many of these proce sses are k nown as daemons. A daemon is a background process that provide s a ser vice to users.
The launchctl utility is the command-line tool used to contr ol launchd . It can: Load and unload daemons  Start and stop launchd controlled jobs  Get system utilization statistics for la unchd an.

Chapter 8 Monitoring Y our System 17 7 When a server ker nel panics it abruptly halts all normal system operations. Usually , a kernel process named panic() outputs an error message to the console and st ores debugging information in non volitile memor y to be written to a crash log le upon restarting the computer .
Setting Up a Core Dump Server Y ou can use any Mac OS X v1 0.5 or later computer to be a cor e dump ser ver that ts the following criteria. The core dump server must: Have a sta tic IP address. Â Be IPv4 network-accessible to all clients using UDP port 1 069 .
Chapter 8 Monitoring Y our System 17 9 Setting Up a Core Dump Clien t A core dump client sends its kernel panic debug information t o the core dump server address specied in its NVRAM settings . The information is transmitt ed at the time of the panic, so before restarting the computer , allow some time for the data to be sent t o the server .
Conguring C ommon Core Dump Options By default, core dumps happen using UDP port 1 069 o ver the built-in Ethernet (en0) interface, and the resulting les are st ored in /P anicDumps on the core dump server .
Chapter 8 Monitoring Y our System 181 SNMPv2 is the default access pr otocol and the defa ult read-only community string is “public .” Enabling SNMP reporting SNMP access isn ’t enabled by default on Mac OS X Server . T o use SNMP tools to poll your Mac OS X Ser ver for data, you must congure and then enable the service.
T o enable and congure SNMP: Use the /usr/bin/snmpconf command , which takes you through a basic t ext-based m setup assistant for c onguring the community name and saves the inf o in the conguration le . The snmp cong le is located in /usr/shar e/snmp/snmpd .
Chapter 8 Monitoring Y our System 18 3 Step 3: Collect SNMP information from the host T o get the SNMP-available inf ormation you added , execut e this command from a host m that has SNMP tools installed: /usr/bin/snmpget -c public <hostname> system.
There are tw o main notication daemons: syslogd and emond. Â syslogd: The syslogd daemon is a standard UNIX method of monitoring systems . It logs messages in accordance with the settings found in /et c/syslog.
Chapter 8 Monitoring Y our System 18 5 Logging Mac OS X Ser ver maintains standard UNIX log les and A pple-specic proce ss logs. Logs f or the OS can be found in: /var/log  /Library/Logs  ~/Library/Logs  Each process is r esponsible f or its own logs, the log level, and verbosit y .
