Re: Solaris and SunOS

Thanks,

The rc.local bit helps with how to get the sched started for sun4, which
does not have inittab.  The fix to my problem turned out to be forcing the
dsm.wrapper to select solaris for my one solaris system.  It has vmunix at
the root, but the os is later than 5.0.  Their wrapper program was
incorrectly setting the environment variables (its logic is: if vmunix at
root, system version lower than 5.0).  Their documentation also did not
mention setting the DSM_CONFIG and DSM_DIR to point to the sun4 or solaris
subdirectory of adsm either.  I've got the stuff running now, but I am
dealing with the slow transfer rate (1 GB/4 hr.).

David,
I just looked at our sole Sun workstation.  It is a Sparcstation 5
running Sun OS 4.1.3_U1.  Our ADSM client software is Version2, Release
1, Level 0.5.
In our /usr/adsm directory, dsmc is linked to dsm.wrapper.  The
dsm.wrapper script determines machine variables, then calls the dsmc
executable from the /usr/adsm/sun4 subdirectory.
We start our scheduler in /etc/rc.local with the following line:
nohup /usr/adsm/dsmc sched -pass={our_password} > /dev/null 2>&1&
I'm not sure if this will help, but I thought I'd give it a shot since
I hadn't seen any replies to your question.
Good Luck!
