Using the Interactive lsiutil Menus

To open the interactive lsiutil menus, log in as root and then follow these steps:

  1. Change to the directory that contains the appropriate version of lsiutil for your operating system. For example,

    # cd directoryname/Solaris x86

  2. If you have not done so already, change the permissions (read and execute access) on the lsiutil file by entering the following command:

    # chmod 755 lsiutil

  3. Start lsiutil by entering the command:

    # ./lsiutil

    The opening screen appears.


    Figure showing lsiutil opening screen.
  4. Type 1 and press Enter.

    The main menu appears. Because there are so many menu items (100), not all the items are shown.

    Tip - You do not have to see a command to enter it. If you know its number, just enter it. Alternatively, you can choose to see the entire menu if you want to, as shown in Step 4.


  5. Enter p to enable paged mode, or e to enable expert mode.

    The complete menu appears in expert mode.

    Each time you press Enter you will see a new page of menu items until you reach the end.
