Uninstalling the 3.4a client:
The 3.4a client needs to be uninstalled before installing the 3.5 client.
We first want to stop the AFS service. To do this select
Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. Double click on the Services icon
and the list of services will come up. Scroll through the list until you
find the "Transarc AFS Client" service, select it and then click on the
"Stop" button. You can now close this and continue with the uninstall.
In Control Panel folder start the "Add/Remove Programs" file. In the list of software find the "AFS Client Patch", select it and then click on the "Add/Remove..." button. When this is done it will prompt you to reboot the machine. Do not reboot at this time, we first want to finish uninstalling the AFS client. In the Add/Remove Programs window select the "AFS Client" and click on the "Add/Remove..." button. Once if finishes uninstalling the AFS client go ahead and reboot. You should now be able to install the 3.5 client below.
\\File-server\Software-PC\Commercial Software\AFS ClientIf you cannot access this directory then please send mail to afs@ncsa.uiuc.edu. NCSA has a site license for our NT clients so the above directory on the file-server should be available to all NCSA users.
There are three folders in the AFS Client folder:
The 3.4a and 3.4a Patches folders are for earlier versions. We need to install the client in the 3.5 folder.
In the 3.5 folder there is a shortcut called "Current release", select that and it will take you to the directory of the most current working release. Once in that directory there is an executable called setup.exe. Run that file and it will begin the afs installation.
The installation is pretty straight forward. The only option you have to choose is what components you want installed. Just select the AFS Client (unselect everything else):
If you want to install it in a directory other than the default, then you can select Browse... to set the path. Otherwise select Next > and it will install the client.
Once it is installed it prompts you if you want to reboot the machine, select Finish to reboot.
If this was an upgrade, and not an initial install of the 3.5 client, then you will not have to do any more configuration and are done.
In the General section of the AFS Client Configuration, put in ncsa.uiuc.edu as the "Cell Name". Also make sure that the "Obtain AFS tokens...", and "Provide an AFS Light Gateway" are not checked. Once this is done then you can click on the "Start Service" button.
With the AFS client running, you can now set up drive letters to mount paths in AFS. Select the "Drive Letters" tab and select "Add...". If you had a previously installed AFS client you may already have drives mapped. If they are set up correclty then you are done with this section. Otherwise continue with the following.
In the "Map Drive Letter" window select a "Drive Letter" and an "AFS Path". You can add a "Description" if you like. If this is going to be a drive mapping you will always want, then make sure the "Restore this mapping whenever I logon" is checked. After you have added a couple of mappings your Drive Letters section should look like:
Here I have mapped /afs/ncsa.uiuc.edu to drive F: and my home directory /afs/ncsa.uiuc.edu/.u3/jbarlow to drive Y:.
Note:
If you had a previous version of AFS installed on your machine be sure to
check the above web page to make sure you are using the correct version of
the Kerberos distribution. Earlier versions will not work with the 3.5 AFS
client.
