Big Brother Server Install

Below is a "script" output of the session I ran when I installed Big Brother monitoring server, version 1.5 on a Solaris server.

  • I began by getting the tarball of the software from another server that already had it in the /usr/local/Install/bb area. Once that was over, I began the script session. 
    
Script started on Wed Jan 17 13:16:13 2001
# pwd
/usr/local
  • Check that the filesystem has enough space and that the correct place is selected - I chose the /usr/local/bb area, which is actually located on the /export/apps filesystem. 
    
# df -k .
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vx/dsk/appsdg/apps
                     1048576   89883  898826    10%    /export/apps
  • Ensure that the directory is correct, and begin to make the proper account, password, group and directory to house the software. It is safest to run the entire Big Brother application as the bb user (needs to be created) instead of root for security reasons, although this does cause problems for the vx scripts which will need to be modified later. 
    
# pwd
/usr/local
# mkdir bb
# vi /etc/passwd /etc/shadow
# chown bb bb
# ls -ld bb
drwxr-xr-x   2 bb       other         96 Jan 17 13:16 bb
  • Switch user to the bb user to ensure that it works, the directory is setup properly, the id checks out, and everything looks ok.

$ pwd
/usr/local/bb
$ id
uid=1984(bb) gid=1(other)
$ exit
  • Switch over to the /usr/local/Install area to prepare for the installation. Make a bb directory and retrieve the file from the other machine if available. 
    
# cd /usr/local/Install
# ls

# ls -l

-rw-r--r--   1 root     other     348796 Jan 17 13:22 bb-1_5.tar.gz
  • gunzip the tar file and extract the tar file that is nested within this. Ensure that the resultant tar file is ok and integrity checks out, gzip the original, and get ready.

VERSION=5.8

	Welcome to the Big Brother installation procedure...
	The first thing we need to know is that OS you're
	running...

	Choose one of the following: bsdi bsdi4 sco3 sco freebsd solaris hpux9 hpux linux sunos netbsd osf ultrix irix unixware redhat aix dynix debian dgux openbsd caldera mandrake sinix


Please enter your OS: [solaris]: solaris
---> OK, we'll try solaris...


*** WARNING: Don't run BB as root ! ***
             Executing BB as root is not recommended


Prevent the execution of BB as user 'root' (y/n) [y]: y
---> OK... BB is NOT ALLOWED to run as root


	BB will only start under a designated user id. The
	startup script will verify that the current user ID
	and the designated user ID are identical.
	Note: This check is only performed during the startup script.
              It does not prevent the execution of other BB binaries/scripts
              while working using another user ID. It only prevents
              you from starting BB while working another user ID.
        
What will be the user ID of BB [bb]: bb
---> BB will only run from user 'bb'

	Making sure BBHOME </export/apps/bb/bb15> is writable...

---> OK, /export/apps/bb/bb15 is fine...


	Do you want to preserve the old style directory structure ?
	You may want to do so if you use BB extensions or
	externals that do not understand the new directory structure.
	This option is *NOT* recommend as keeping the old directory
	around represents a security risk.
	
Old-style directory structure (y/n): [n] n


	When you set up your machines, you should use Fully Qualified
	Domain names, this means you use the whole name, like www.bb4.com,
	instead of just 'www'.  This is recommended.
	
Use FQDN (y/n): [y] n
---> OK... if you must...


	Big Brother creates HTML pages with the status of your network.
	You'll need a web server to publish this information.
	
What machine will be the BBDISPLAY [bbserver]: bbserver
---> OK... admpwb01 will be a BBDISPLAY

	Big Brother sends important messages to a pager server.  This
	machine will at a minimum to be able to send mail. 
	
What machine will be the BBPAGER [bbserver]: bbserver
---> OK... bbserver will be a BBPAGER

	Some questions regarding the current host
	(bbserver) will be asked. 


Is this host a BBDISPLAY host (y/n): [y] y

Is this host a BBPAGER host (y/n): [y] y

Enter the default recipient: [root@localhost] root@localhost

	Since Big Brother produces results to be displayed on web
	pages, we need to know where to view these results.
	
Enter URL for BB [http://bbserver/bb/]: http://bbserver/bb/
---> OK... Big Brother will live at http://bbserver/bb/

	Big Brother also uses CGI scripts to create dynamic output.
	What directory do these scripts live in?
	
Enter CGI directory [/home/www/httpd/cgi-bin]: /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
---> OK... CGI scripts will live at /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin
Enter the URL of the CGI scripts [http://bbserver/cgi-bin]: http://bbserver/cgi-bin
---> OK... URL location of CGI scripts at http://bbserver/cgi-bin

# ls /usr/local/apache/htdocs/bb

  • That is pretty much what is required to install BigBrother server version on a Sun box. Now I go thru the customization process, beginning with the /usr/local/bb/bb15/etc/bbsys.local file, which contains all the command aliases and variables. I include all the special sections for the custom extension scripts as shown on the Big Brother page at http://www.pluzzi.com. I also change the ps command to use the old Berkely version instead of the AT&T version, since it shows extended information. Lastly I switch the mail program from the older Berkely version to the AT&T version which has better features. 
    
# pwd
/usr/local/bb
# cd bb15/etc
# vi bbsys.local ##  (Adding the berkely version of ps and the att version of mail as well as full extension section)
# pwd
/usr/local/bb/bb15/etc
# ls
bb-dftab.DIST           bbchkcmds.sh            bbdef.sh                bbsys.sh                numeric-k6.scr
bb-hosts                bbchkhosts.sh           bbdef.sh.DIST           bbwarnrules.cfg         numeric.scr
bb-proctab.DIST         bbchkwarnrules.sh       bbinc.sh                bbwarnrules.cfg.DIST    security.DIST
bbchkcfg.sh             bbchkwarnrules.sh.DIST  bbsys.local             bbwarnsetup.cfg         sms.scr
  • Now configure the /usr/local/bb/bb15/etc/bb-hosts file to represent which hosts will be the servers, clients, pager server, display server, etc. 
    
# vi bb-hosts  ## (Adding new entry for all sections for this system)
  • We are now ready to run the check scripts to ensure that everything is ready. These scripts are all located in the /usr/local/bb/bb15/etc directory and we should run each *chk* script that exists. Since we are not using a DNS server, we dont need to worry about the DIG comments. We can also ignore the comments about invalid services because they are all customized extensions to the normal BB server, that the bbchkhosts.sh script doesnt know about.

  • Its now time to bring over all the different monitoring scripts. Since all Sun hosts currently have these, any box will do. I chose the production machines because I know it is running very stable versions of the scripts.

  • I tend to customize the header/footer areas of the pages, so lets change all that next. Go to the /usr/local/bb/bb15/web area for this. Move all the existing *footer* scripts to .orig versions.

  • After copying all those safely out of the way, remove the old ones, get the main footer script from old_bbserver, and link all the other *footer* scripts to the main footer script. This way we can change it once and have it reflect in all pages. Then last but not least, change ownership to bb for all those files.

# touch ~bb/.hushlogin

  • It was at this point that I realized there were a few steps I would have to complete that I had overlooked. Specifically, I would need to create the group bb (same number as the UID number for bb - 1984) and change all files under /usr/local/bb to be owned by that group. 
    
# vi /etc/group  ## (to add new bb group)
# su - bb -c "/usr/local/bb/bb15/runbb.sh restart"

  • Now I brought over, rather than recreate, the information file about the bbserver server. This file was currently resident on the old_bbserver server, and needed to be copied to the admpwb01 server. It contains information about the configuration of the box, who is primary/secondary support, and any other information applicable. It is not required but is a very nice feature. It is accessible from the http://www.pluzzi.com:85/bb/ area by clicking on the actual server name - it is really a link to this file. Since I figure that this bbserver server will eventually host all the bb pages, I brought over all these server info files, not just the bbserver file. Then of course we need to change the ownership to bb for all these files.

  • I had noticed that there was a problem with the vx scripts in the /usr/local/bb/bb15/ext area, and needed to dig around to find out what the problem was. I started by checking to see if the scripts were properly named in the bbsys.local file. Then I checked that the did in fact exist as they should in the area claimed, and that they had execute permissions. 
    
# cd ../../etc
# vi bbsys.local  ## (to check on vx* commands)
# ls -l /usr/sbin/vxdisk
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     sys       236904 Mar 31  2000 /usr/sbin/vxdisk
# ls -l /usr/sbin/vxdg
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     sys       389292 Mar 31  2000 /usr/sbin/vxdg
# ls -l /usr/sbin/vxid. .od
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     sys        13584 Mar 31  2000 /usr/sbin/vxiod
  • One of the best ways to test these things is to switch to the bb user, and try to manually run them. This requires setting a BBHOME variable, and setting up the environment. Then we can run the script and see what happens. 
    
# su - bb
$ export BBHOME=/usr/local/bb/bb15
$ . $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh
$ cd bb15/ext
$ ls
cpu2       failover   iostat     mail       oracle     queue      vx_check
dmp        ha         ipcs       mkbb       printers   rep        vx_group
ext-proto  hist       logs       network    prtdiag    top        vx_list
$ ./vx_list
vxvm:vxdisk: ERROR: IPC failure: Permission denied
vxvm:vxdisk: ERROR: IPC failure: Permission denied
$ /usr/sbin/vxdisk list
vxvm:vxdisk: ERROR: IPC failure: Permission denied
$ exit
  • So what I found was that it didnt work from the vx_list script, and I couldnt even run it from the command line manually as the vxdisk list command. So I realized that these were privileged commands only, and I would have to make those three vx scripts suid and extremely secure. This is done by setting the ownership to root, the group to bb, the mode to 4750, and setting the "#!/bin/sh -p" first line declaration on these scripts.

  • Stop the bb server, ensure the bb group is in place and configured, change any remaining permissions, and set it all up. 
    
# su - bb -c "/usr/local/bb/bb15/runbb.sh stop"
Stopping Big Brother...
# pwd
/usr/local
# vi /etc/group ## (to ensure the bb group is there)
# vi /etc/passwd ## (to change default group of bb to the new bb group)
# chgrp -R bb bb
  • With all that complete, restart the BB server, and see if it fixed our problems. The two ways to check would be to check the /tmp/`uname -n`.vx_list or to check the web page for the vx_list column.

  • I did also copy over /usr/local/bb/bb15/www/help/bb-help.html and /usr/local/bb/bb15/www/help/bb-rep.html had to change server name (cgi-area) from old_bbserver to bbserver in bb-rep.html. The reason for the bb-help file is that if someone clicks on one of the customized column headers on the web page, it will not normally know what the custom column does. This bb-help file has all that written into it. The other change is for the availability reporting - there was a bug were oct/nov/dec would only show october information, so I had to correct that as well.
