When you use add, modify, or delete a DMS client from the DMU Main Menu,
the client’s entry in the dmsdb file is added, modified, or deleted, respectively.
12.2 Adding a DMS Client
The information you need to add a DMS client is shown in the Client Setup
Worksheet in Appendix B. Fill out a worksheet for each client you want to
add before you use the dmu utility to add clients to a DMS environment.
Before you can add a client, you already must have followed the procedures in
Chapter 11 to install software in at least one DMS environment. Optionally,
you may want to customize the .proto.. files as described in Section 11.4.1.
The DMS client must be connected to a local area network (LAN) and must be
registered with the DMS server through one of the network naming services
(see Section 10.8) or must have an entry in the server’s /etc/hosts file.
When you add a client to a DMS environment, the root directory from the
server’s DMS environment gets copied to the client area.
Follow these steps to add a client to a DMS environment:
1. Log in to the DMS server as root or use the su command to gain
superuser privileges.
2. Enter /usr/sbin/dmu to start the dmu utility. You see the DMU Main
Menu:
