How to Add Automount Support by Using Local /etc Files

Perform these steps for each system on which you want to use the Solstice AutoClient 2.1 software.

1. Log in to the Solstice administration system or managed client as root.

2. Ensure that the auto_direct entry exists in the /etc/auto_master file.

   A sample auto_master file with the auto_direct entry is displayed below.

   # cat /etc/auto_master # Master map for automounter # /net -hosts -nosuid /home auto_home /- auto_direct

   If the auto_direct entry appears in the output, proceed to Failed Cross Reference FormatStep 4. If the entry does not appear, go to the next step.

3. Edit the /etc/auto_master file, adding the auto_direct entry.

   /- auto_direct

4. Ensure that the /etc/auto_direct file exists.

   # ls /etc/auto_direct

   If the file is found, proceed to Failed Cross Reference Format. If the file is not found, go to the next step.

5. Create the /etc/auto_direct file.

   # touch /etc/auto_direct

   Proceed to step Failed Cross Reference FormatStep 7.

6. Look for a pre-existing Solstice AutoClient entry.

   A table entry supporting an earlier version of the Solstice AdminSuite software may be present.

   $ cat /etc/auto_direct | grep SUNWadm

   If an entry similar to the following appears, proceed to Failed Cross Reference FormatStep 8.

   /opt/SUNWadm server-name:/install-dir/$CPU/SUNWadm

   In this example,

   server-name	Is the Solstice administration system host name.
   install-dir	Is the path to the Solstice AutoClient 2.1 software location (usually /export/opt).

   If the entry does not appear, go to the next step.

7. Edit the /etc/auto_direct file, adding the entry designating location of the Solstice AutoClient 2.1 software.

   ---

   Note -

   If you chose an installation location other than the /export/opt directory, be sure to indicate the correct path in this entry.

   ---

   /opt/SUNWadm server-name:/export/opt/$CPU/SUNWadm

   In this entry,

   server-name

   Is the Solstice administration system host name.

8. Edit the /etc/auto_direct file, adding the entry designating the location of the Solstice AutoClient 2.1 data area.

   ---

   Note -

   If you chose an installation location other than the /export/opt directory, be sure to indicate the correct path in this command.

   ---

   /opt/SUNWadmd server-name:/export/opt/all/SUNWadmd

   In this command,

   server-name

   Is the Solstice administration system host name.

9. Run the automount command.

   Running this command enables the system to use the new automount map.

   # /usr/sbin/automount
