The host that serves AFP and boot service for old devil hosts is vldafneafp.lnf.infn.it (192.168.198.53 - 192.168.196.12). This host is a VM inside DA-Dell2 Cluster and is a Debian 9.12 13 (stretch) because the service was not available under CentOS.

The system images and data are stored in /srv folder:

• /srv/data 
  contains bible, dfmd and hammer AFP shares
• /srv/tftp 
  contains system images

Installation History

This is the service installation history. It will be used to document the service installation in a better way.

...

Sometimes, the DEVILs are not able to mount "Bible" and "DFMD" disks, asking for a password (that will not work). This symptom can be solved only by restarting the netatalk service, and then ALL the old DEVILs.

root@vldafneafp:~# kill -9 23568

Replace a DEVIL

to replace a devil, change the mac address of the old ones with the new mac address in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and restart the service with:

root@vldafneafp:~# systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server
