TCP/IP and Naming Conventions

Configuration files:

/opt/karoshi/serversetup/variables/tcpip

/opt/karoshi/serversetup/variables/ltsp_tcpip

Servers: General Note: The Karoshi setup does not necessarily use all of these numbers, It depends on the size of your school. However Karoshi is designed to scale up to a very large setup if required.

Redundant servers: The redundant server feature has been requested by many. This is nearly ready to go and will be released as a patch. For the redundant server feature to work correctly extra tcpip numbers are needed. For example when the PDC/Authentication server (Xen) starts up a redundant server may be acting as Xen using Xen's IP number, so Xen will start up with its spare IP.

It will be up to schools to decide how many, if any, redundant servers they want to use. We would suggest at the very least having one for the PDC/Authentication Server.

LTSP Servers

LTSP Note: We have included up to 100 LTSP servers in the setup which gives scope for around 3000 LTSP clients.
