= DB server installation =
 * the `osdserver` process is installed with the dedicated `openafs-osdserver` RPM
 * for this RPM, there is a dedicated repository in ''SL/53/x86_64_extra/afs-osdserver''
 * in vamos, this repository is selected by the ''CF_YUM_extrarepos_afsosddb'' variable
  * it was included in the ''afs-dbserver-mod''

= Enabling clients for OSD + Vicep-Access =
 * handled by the ''afsosd-mod''
  * install proper AFS client + module (''afs1410osd-alma'' repository)
  * install ''SLZ_vicep_lustre_links'' RPM /!\ not in modifier yet

= Original setup for a Lustre-based vice partition =
 * once Lustre is available, setup the partition
  * create the appropriate link to lustre (must match the link distributed to clients via RPM) {{{
[zyklop20] ~ # ln -s /lustre/vpxl /vicepal }}}
  * do create the `AlwaysAttach` file (otherwise, non-partition /vicep directories are ignored) {{{
[zyklop20] ~ # touch /vicepal/AlwaysAttach }}}
  * protect the "vice partition" from fileserver usage: {{{
[zyklop20] ~ # touch /vicepal/OnlyRxosd }}}
 * launch the `rxosd` process {{{
[zyklop20] ~ # bos create localhost rxosd simple /usr/afs/bin/rxosd -localauth }}}
  * this has no immediate effect, vice partitions are touched once the osddb asks for them
 * add the appropriate OSDDB entry
  * <!> you have to use an id and name never used before
  * `/vicepal` => lun = 1 * 26 + 11 (where ''a'' corresponds to 1 and ''l'' to 11 (=12-1)) {{{
osd createosd -id 2 -name zyklop20-al -ip 141.34.22.43 -lun 37 -minsize 1m -maxsize 2048g -wrprio 64 -rdprio 64 }}}
  * /!\ this requires AFS admin privileges, of course (currently, osd createosd has no -localauth)

= Setup for an archive vice partition =
 * {{{
  # bos create localhost rxosd simple /usr/afs/bin/rxosd -localauth; bos start localhost rxosd }}}
 * {{{
  # touch /vicepa/AlwaysAttach /vicepa/OnlyRxosd}}}
 * {{{
  # osd createosd -id 4 -name arch -ip 141.34.32.37 -lun 0 -minsize 0kb -maxsize 10g -wrprio 64 -rdprio 64 -archival }}}
 * {{{
  # bos restart localhost rxosd }}}
