Significant issues:
Stability
Availability
Performance
Server design
![Page 6: Lesson 21– INSTALLING LINUX IN A SERVER CONFIGURATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d535503460f94a2f4d9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The most significant design decision to make when
managing a server configuration is not technical, but
administrative.
The server designed should have a good environment.
Design decision
![Page 7: Lesson 21– INSTALLING LINUX IN A SERVER CONFIGURATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d535503460f94a2f4d9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Server design should not be user friendly:
No multimedia tools.
No sound card support.
No distracting web browsers.
Design decision
![Page 8: Lesson 21– INSTALLING LINUX IN A SERVER CONFIGURATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d535503460f94a2f4d9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Physical safety of servers
Keep servers in a separate, physically secure room.
Restrict server access for non-administrative personnel
only through the Network.
Install a battery backup.
![Page 9: Lesson 21– INSTALLING LINUX IN A SERVER CONFIGURATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d535503460f94a2f4d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Improve server situation
Avoid starting X Window until required.
Determine what functions you want the server to
perform and disable the other functions.
Linux allows tailoring of the kernel.
![Page 10: Lesson 21– INSTALLING LINUX IN A SERVER CONFIGURATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d535503460f94a2f4d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Uptime command provides:
Duration of the system since its last boot.
Number of users currently logged in.
Load the system is experiencing.
Uptime
![Page 11: Lesson 21– INSTALLING LINUX IN A SERVER CONFIGURATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d535503460f94a2f4d9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Dual-Booting issues
Windows 95 or Windows 98 – use the fips.exe.
Windows NT – move some of the data around manually to
free a partition.
![Page 12: Lesson 21– INSTALLING LINUX IN A SERVER CONFIGURATION.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d535503460f94a2f4d9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dual-Booting issues
To repartition a system that has already had Windows
9x/NT installed onto it –use third party software like
“Partition Magic”.
