Installation Guide
On UNIX platforms, the EMSRV process will have the file access permissions
of the UNIX account that starts EMSRV. The UNIX account name that is
used to start EMSRV is referred to as the EMSRV account name, and
the password for that account is referred to as the EMSRV account
password.
Perform the following steps to start EMSRV for UNIX:
- Change directory to the directory containing the EMSRV executable (as
specified previously in Setting up EMSRV for UNIX operating systems).
- Verify that:
- The EMSRV user account has appropriate file access rights to the library
files.
- The library files reside on a local file system.
- Determine whether your UNIX system is using shadow passwords and
choose the correct binary (see Authentication on UNIX Platforms).
- At the command line, enter either emsrv.shadow or
emsrv as appropriate with the desired parameters (see EMSRV Startup options).
For example, at a command line, enter either:
emsrv.shadow -w -xd21 -xd24 -lc -lflogfile or emsrv -w
-xd21 -xd24 -lc -lflogfile.
The command does the following:
- Starts EMSRV with lock tracking turned on
- Logs messages to the system console and the log file specified in the
command line
- Allows libraries to be acessed on the default (boot) device and
devices with major device IDs 21 and 24.
- Note:
- The UNIX account password is needed when shutting down EMSRV remotely using
EMADMIN.
