iPrint Duplicate and Synchronization

Novell, In

S E C T I O N 1 iPrint Duplicate and Synchronization

In this exercise you will first explore the current set up, then prepare it for duplication and the set up synchronization, creating a redundant and fault tolerant printing system.

1. “View non-recommended configuration” on page 6

2. “Exploring The iPrint Environment” on page 7

3. “Binding the Print Manager to a Transferable DNS Name” on page 8

4. “Using the iPrint Duplication Script” on page 10

First, lets look at a often used but not recommended way to configure iPrint

Exercise 1-1 View non-recommended configuration

Look at how things are currently configured on the WIN7 workstation.

1. From the Win7WorkstationVM select Start > Devices and Printers

2. look for the installed iPrint printer notice that printer02 is bound to the server name

printer02 on ipp://iprintone.da.com

Exercise 1-3 Binding the Print Manager to a Transferable DNS Name

In this exercise, you will bind the print manager to a transferable DNS name. The advantage of this is the first, in the migration scenario it’s much easier to move the print manager from one server to another server. Secondly in subsequent exercises we will set up this printing environment to allow for fault tolerance and ease of recovery in a printing system failure.

1. Bind the print manager to a transferable DNS name

a. On the Windows workstation desktop open a putty session by double-clicking the putty icon.

b. From now putty configuration window in the saved sessions section select iprintone > load > Open

c. At the login as prompt enter root. then novell as a password.

d. At the prompt enter the following:

vi /etc/opt/novell/iprint/conf/ipsmd.conf

NOTE: Remember you can always use tab complete on any linux command line.

e. Change the PSMHostAddress line from iprintone.da.com to prntmgr

i. use the arrow keys to place the cursor at the start of the iprintone.da.com setting, then press the insert key

ii. Delete the current setting and enter the following: prntmgr

iii. Press the Esc key once then enter :wq and press Enter

f. Check the /etc/hosts file to verify that prntmgr resolves to 172.17.0.100

i. At the command line into the following: cat /etc/hosts

g. Restart the print manager by entering the following command at the command prompt: rcnovell-ipsmd restart

2. Verify the workstation updates the iPrint printer

a. Return to the workstation’s Devices and Printers.

b. Press the F5 key to refresh the printers list.

c. On the printer update notice select OK

d. On the notice that the printer has been updated select OK

NOTE: See TID 3476106 t learn how to suppress these pop-ups

3. Backup the DNS change from the print manager database to the XML copy

a. From the iprintone PmsStatus page select the Advanced iPrint Manager Information

b. Click the iPrint Manager Internal link.

c. Click the Backup Database button


Version 18



Novell, In

NOTE: This action will create a new backup of the database in XML format in the print manager directory.

Now the environment is set to accept the duplication and synchronization between two print managers on different servers.

Exercise 1-4 Using the iPrint Duplication Script

In this exercise we will run the duplication script and complete the changes needed for a completely fault-tolerant iPrint solution. Then test that solution by adding a printer to the primary print manager and watching it be duplicated to the secondary.

1. Run the iPrint duplication script

a. Open a putty session on iprinttwo by double-clicking the putty icon on the workstation desktop highlighting ipinttwo.da.com and click open

b. At the login prompt enter root and password novell

c. at the prompt enter cd /tmp/iPrnt-Duplication/

d. Run the duplication script by entering at the prompt:

NOTE: Remember you can save yourself steps by using tab complete

./iPrint-Duplication-1.5.sh

e. At the question “Do you have a context created to contain your new iPrint objects?” Respond by entering: Y

f. At the question “Would you like trusted hosts set up between the two iPrint servers?” respond by entering: Y

g. At the question “what is the DNS or IP of the source iPrint server?” responded by entering: iprintone

h. At the question “are you sure you want to continue connecting?” respond by entering: yes

i. When presented with the Password: prompt enter novell

j. When asked to enter the eDirectory admin user enter: cn=admin,o=da

k. When asked for the password enter: novell

l. When asked about the Driver Store enter: Y

m. When asked about the print manager enter: Y

n. When asked to enter the contexts where the new printer objects will be created enter: ou=iprint2,ou=services,o=da

o. When asked to enter the IP or DNS name of the server holding a replica enter: iprinttwo

p. when asked if you would like to keep the same host address for the new print manager enter: Y

2. View the results of the script

a. View the iPrint Configuration on iprinttwo.da.com

i. From the Firefox bookmark tool bar select iprinttwo > PsmStatus

ii. Click the Advanced iPrint Manager Information button

iii. Click the Generate Report link

iv. Check the following boxes

LRP Enabled

Direct Print Enabled

SSL Required for iPrint Access

Associated NDS Printer

Auditing Enabled

Banner

The click Generate Report

v. After reviewing the report click the Back button

vi. Now check the boxes for

Win 7 (32 bit)

Win 7 (32bit) Driver Profile

Notice that the are all the same as they were on iprintone

3. Update DNS

a. In the iprinttwo putty session at the prompt enter: vi /etc/hosts

b. Verify that prntmgr resolves to 172.17.0.101

c. In the putty session to iprinttwo enter: vi /etc/opt/iprint/conf/ipsmd.conf

d. Press the Insert key and change the PSMHostAddress from iprinttwo.da.com to prntmgr

e. Press the Esc key then enter: :wq

f. At the command prompt for iprinttwo enter rcnovell-ipsmd restart

g. On the win7 workstation select Start > Accessories

h. Right click Notepad and select Run as Administrator

i. Select File > Open

j. Select the drop down for Text Documents (*txt) then select All Files

k. Select the hosts file and select open

l. Edit the file so that prntmgr resolves to 172.17.0.101

save the changes and close the file

NOTE: In the “real’ world this would be handled at a DNS server so there would be no need to touch each user workstation

4. Observed print jobs go through iprinttwo and not iprintone

a. Send a test print job from the iPrint printer installed on the windows 7 workstation

i. From the Devices and Printers window right click on the printer named printer02 on ipp://prntmgr the select Printer Properties

ii. Click Print Test Page > Close >Ok

b. Scroll back and review the setting that have been pre filled out for you. if you have questions as to what anyone setting does be sure to ask the instructor

6. Create an iPrint printer on iprintone’s print manager

Windows 7 (32bit) drivers: (pick any one you like)

NOTE: It doesn’t matter what name or ip address you choose or driver this VMs only have the win 7 32 bit drivers installed

Select OK > OK

7. Run the iPrint sync script


Version 112



Novell, In

Now that the print manager on iprintone has a new printer which the server iprinttwo does not have, we will run the iPrint sync script to, A: synchronize the change to the iprinttwo server, B: configure cron to run the sync script every week, and C: configure the notification feature so that you are notified by e-mail if the production print manager goes down.

a. From the iprinttwo putty session at the prompt enter: cd /tmp/iPrint-Sync

b. From the prompt enter: ./iPrint-Sync-1.1.sh -h

Take note of what the various switches will accomplish.

c. At the prompt enter the following: ./iPrint-Sync-1.1.sh -ksbnc
