FreeBSD gateway (fbsd.acl.lanl.gov)
The machine fbsd serves as a gateway between the internal plan9 network and the external network. It has a number of uses:
1) Gives plan9 users access to unix/X applications by using vnc.
2) Gives unix users access to plan9 machines using drawterm and netkey.
3) Gives plan9 users access to unix (including nfs) filesystems via u9fs.
4) Controls baytech power units, which allow cluster nodes to be power cycled.
Tips
Using drawterm in fbsd to access plan9
/usr/local/bin/dt <cpu server>
Using netkey in fbsd to generate auth tokens for plan9
/usr/local/bin/netkey
Using vnc on plan9 to get X desktop
on fbsd:/usr/X11R6/bin/vncserver -geometry 1000x750will respond with an X display e.g fbsd.acl.lanl.gov:1 on plan9:
import plan9 /net.alt import plan9 /net.alt /net vncviewer <X display>
using u9fs to access unix filesystems from plan9
on plan9:srv -m tcp!172.16.82.200 fbsd /n/fbsdcd into /n/fbsd to see fbsd's filesystems (including nfs mounted ones)
Power cycle a hung DL360 cluster node
/usr/local/packages/ADMIN/etc/power cycle <cpu server>
