Mounting the CD

To mount a CD, enter the following commands.

su
mkdir /cdrom
/etc/mount -F cdfs -r -o nmconv=m cd_device /cdrom

where cd_device is the name of the CD-ROM device file, such as /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0.

Tunable Parameters

You will probably need to reconfigure the kernel before running the BEA Tuxedo system because the default values of some IPC parameters are too low. For instructions on reconfiguring, rebuilding, and rebooting, see the UnixWare System Performance Administration Guide and the idtune(1) and idbuild(1) entries in a UNIX system reference manual. You may need to increase the following parameters.

To change the value of a tunable parameter, complete the following procedure.

  1. Acquire superuser privileges.

    su root

  2. Determine (by running the idtune command) the current default value of the tunable parameter to be changed.

    /etc/conf/bin/idtune -g param

    The output of idtune lists current, default, minimum, and maximum valid values.

  3. Change the parameter's value:

    /etc/conf/bin/idtune param new-value

  4. If idtune fails because new-value exceeds the maximum allowed value, you must increase the maximum. (The maximum values of some parameters are set unnecessarily low in some releases of UnixWare.) To do this, edit /etc/conf/mtune.d/type, where type is shm, sem, or msg. Change the maximum value (in the last column) to the desired maximum.

  5. Rebuild the operating system and reboot:

    /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B
    cd /
    shutdown -y -g0 -i6

  6. Execute idtune again and supply the desired new-value.

  7. Run idbuild to build a new kernel.

    /etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B
    cd /
    shutdown -y -g0 -i6

  8. Reboot your system.
