11.4 Configuring DMS Environments
After you install software into a new or existing DMS environment, you
must configure the environment. Configuring the environment includes the
following steps:
1. Customizing the .proto.. system files (Section 11.4.1). This step is
optional; you do not have to customize these files for the environment.
This step is performed outside of the dmu utility.
2. Building the environment’s kernel (Section 11.4.2). This step is
mandatory and is performed through the CONFIGURE software
environments option of the DMU Main Menu.
11.4.1 Customizing /etc/.proto..* Files
If you already have configured the DMS environment and later decide to
modify .proto.. files, you must delete the files created by the configuration
process. Follow these steps to modify the fstab file to include a server name:
1. Log in to the DMS server as root or use the su command to gain
superuser privileges.
2. Define the DMS_ROOT environment variable to point to the affected DMS
area, for example:
# DMS_ROOT=/var/adm/dms/dmsN.alpha/root
3. Delete the $DMS_ROOT/hosts file.
4. Modify the $DMS_ROOT/.proto..hosts file.
5. Use the dmu utility to configure the DMS area as described in
Section 11.4.2.
Modify the .proto.. files to customize each environment for the clients
that you will add to a DMS environment. If you do this customization
before you configure and build the kernel and before you add clients to the
DMS environment, you reduce the amount of customization required at
each client.
You may want to modify several of the .proto.. files located in
the DMS environment /var/adm/dms/dmsN .alpha in the /etc,
/bin, /var/adm/X11, and root directories. As an example, the
/etc/.proto..hosts file is a file that you could modify in advance.
Table 11–1 lists the .proto.. files in the /etc directory that you can
customize.
