Once the configuration files are complete, run the zspconfig utility on the Master to configure
all the scripts:

NOTE: This command can take 60 seconds or more with no screen output.

zspconfig –f zsp.conf

You will see output similar to this:

zspconfig -f zsp.conf

Once configuration is complete, insure there are no superfluous S-type startup scripts in
/etc/rcZ.d, and zsync your switch to save your configuration.

Now go to the backup switch and run zspconfig –u to get the appropriate configuration
information from the Master,

zspconfig –u zhp0

Configuring Surviving Partner

The S60SP_startup script is useful in setting up proper switch replacement. By factory
installing the S60SP_startup script in replacement switches, the replacement switches will boot
looking for a Master switch configuration. The S60SP_startup works as follows:

It first looks for a local file /etc/rcZ.d/surviving_partner/zsp.primary.conf. If this
file exists, it is used to configure the switch. Only the originally configured switch or Central
Authority should contain this file. See Central Authority later in this Chapter for more
information.

Next it uses zspconfig –u to attempt to contact a running Master switch to retrieve the proper
configuration. This is the normal case for a replacement switch.
