-:!: You can kick off the update on the client by restarting the AUA service.
-:!: You can see the client versions easily In the web admin: **Manage Log -> Backup Job**

-http://pedia.ahsay.com/article.aspx?article=1786&p=16
-===== Do a Centos 6 Minimal Install =====
-==== Partitioning ====
-During the installation, you might use manual partitioning like:
-^Partition^Size^Mountpoint^Filesystem^
-|/dev/sda1|200MB|/boot|ext4|
-|/dev/sda2|15GB|/|ext4|
-|/dev/sda3|2GB|n/a|Swap|
-|/dev/sda4|Rest of first disk|/opt/obs/user|ext4|

-yum update -y
-reboot
-</file>
-==== Install Needed Tools ====
-<file>
-yum -y install wget vim-enhanced ntp acpid
-</file>
-==== Configure Networking ====
-See [[networking:linux:static_ip_addr|Static IP Address]].
-Verify the hostname and IP address are set in /etc/sysconfig/network and in /etc/hosts.
-==== Configure Timekeeping ====
-[[networking:linux:linux_time|Linux Timekeeping]]
-<file>
-chkconfig ntpd on
-service ntpd start
-</file>
-==== Configure SElinux ====
-Set selinux to Permissive mode and set the system to relabel on the next reboot:

-echo 0 >/selinux/enforce
-touch /.autorelabel
-sestatus -v
-</file>

-EOF
-</file>
-===== Firewall =====
-:!: Expose only TCP port 80 and 443 (Ahsay) plus UDP 123 (NTP) to the public.
-==== CentOS Firewall ====
-The built-in CentOS firewall only allows port 22 (SSH) by default and blocks all other traffic.
-<file>
-iptables -I INPUT 3 -p udp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT
-iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
-iptables -I INPUT 3 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-/sbin/service iptables save
-iptables --line-numbers -nL
-</file>
-==== Arno's Firewall ====
-If your backup server has an interface directly connected to the Internet, you should consider Arno's Firewall.
-Disable the built-in firewall:
-<file>
-service iptables stop
-service ip6tables stop
-chkconfig iptables off
-chkconfig ip6tables off
-</file>
-**[[networking:firewall:arno_s_firewall|Arno's Firewall]]**
-I don't remember what these very important notes were for:
-<file>
-NAT_LOCAL_REDIRECT=1
-NAT_FORWARD_TCP="80>209.104.9.38~9080 443>209.104.9.38~9443"
-</file>
-===== Install OBS =====
-<file>
-wget http://www.ahsay.com/download/customer/software/obs/current/obsr-nix.tar.gz
-OBS_HOME=/opt/obs; export OBS_HOME
-mkdir $OBS_HOME
-mv obsr-nix.tar.gz $OBS_HOME
-cd $OBS_HOME
-tar -xzvf obsr-nix.tar.gz
-sh $OBS_HOME/bin/install.sh
-</file>
-===== First Login =====
-Login to the new backup server using a web browser.  Use a fully qualified domain name, an IP address won't work.  That means you must have DNS configured or have a 'hosts' file entry for the FQDN to resolve properly.
-The default username/password is **system/system** - change them to 'admin' and your own password:
-Manage System -> Server Configuration -> Login Name
-===== Filesystem Tweaks =====
-Depending on how you partitioned the drive when you installed the OS, you may need to add a new logical volume for OBS to use.  Ideally, the OBS 'homes' will be separate from the host OS so if a disk is filled, the server won't crash.
-Assuming the entire installation disk was used as a LVM PV (physical volume), this command will use the rest of it to create a new LV (logical volume) for OBS 'homes':
-<file>
-lvcreate -n lv_obs_homes -l 100%FREE vg_backup
-mkfs.ext3 /dev/vg_backup/lv_obs_homes
-</file>
-Edit /etc/fstab and add add a line to mount the new LV with the 'noatime' option:
-<file>
-vi /etc/fstab
-/dev/mapper/vg_backup-lv_obs_homes    /mnt/obs_homes       ext3    defaults,noatime    0 0
-mkdir /mnt/obs_homes/{system,user}
-</file>
-Manage System -> Server Configuration -> System Home
-  * ''/mnt/obs_homes/system''
-Manage System -> Server Configuration -> User Homes
-  * ''/mnt/obs_homes/user''
-===== Copy Data =====
-<file>
-rsync -av /usr/local/obs/system root@192.168.1.6:/opt/obs/
-rsync -av /usr/local/obs/user root@192.168.1.6:/opt/obs/
-</file>
-===== Add Additional Storage =====
-https://help.ahsay.com/display/2/kb/article.aspx?aid=2437&n=1&docid=67930
-Install a new disk drive, then create one large partition and format it:
-<file>
-fdisk /dev/sdb
-mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
-</file>
-You want to mount the new space using the disk's UUID as a best practice.  Run this command after the format has finished to determine the UUID:
-<file>
-blkid
-</file>
-Edit /etc/fstab to mount the new partition with the 'noatime' option.
-<file>
-vi /etc/fstab
-# additional storage for OBS
-/dev/mapper/vg_backup-lv_obs_homes           /mnt/obs_homes         ext3    defaults,noatime    0 0
-UUID=40a09cc6-47d7-4061-b93b-a30d45659075    /mnt/obs_homes_2       ext3    defaults,noatime    0 0
-UUID=299dc4c1-0652-47d3-bbe5-bcf1788647d0    /mnt/obs_homes_3       ext3    defaults,noatime    0 0
-mount -a
-mount
-</file>
-Then you can assign the new space for user homes in the web interface:
-Manage System -> Server Configuration -> User Homes
-  * ''/mnt/obs_homes_2''
-  * ''/mnt/obs_homes_3''
-===== Data Validation =====
-http://forum.ahsay.com/viewtopic.php?t=5746
-===== Configuration Archival =====
-http://www.ahsay.com/jsp/en/home/index.jsp?kw=&pageContentKey=ahsay_products_ahsayobs_features_configuration-archival
-**Manage System -> Routine Job -> Configuration Archival**
-The Configuration Archival feature is designed to faciliate a quick and simple recovery of an AhsayOBS server after an outage so as to minimize the down time of backup service.
-With this feature enabled, a copy of AhsayOBS configuration settings will be backed up to Ahsay™ License Server everyday so that when a disaster strikes, the backup server administrator is able to download the backed up AhsayOBS configurations from the Ahsay™ License Server and restore them quickly onto a new AhsayOBS machine.
