B Installation Planning Worksheets The following worksheets should be filled in during the planning phase (Chapter 1) and used during the installation phase (Chapters 2 through 6) of your resource configuration process. The chapter corresponding to each worksheet provides specific information about the entries in the worksheet, and should be consulted as the worksheet is filled in. Note It is suggested that you make and use photocopies of the worksheets and retain the originals for possible later use. The worksheets list the programs/components of the system required for each network resource. You do not have to use all the resources (e.g., if you are not going to use the network terminals to read or send e-mail (via Netscape), neither POP3 nor SMTP needs to be configured) and not all resources have to reside on the same server. Different resources that are used with the terminals can be distributed on different servers in a network environment, so that one (or more) servers can provide one set of services, and other servers can provide other services. In smaller installations, one server can be used to provide for all network services. In larger installations, the distribution of resources among servers can improve network performance, significantly in some cases. In general, it is recommended that servers reside on the same network segment as the clients they serve. This is particularly true for servers that support swapping and program loading. Terminals are configured to boot locally as the default, but may boot from the network if desired (after power-on press Ctrl+V when you hear the beep, or use Select | System | Setup | Administration | Boot Model for a permanent change). Some resources are needed for network boot that are not required for local boot, and vice-versa. The worksheets apply to both boot modes of the terminal.
