Installation Guide

Setting up EMSRV for Solaris

On Solaris, filesystems automatically have large file support but limits for the user starting the EMSRV process must still be set using the ulimit command. To set the limits for the user starting the EMSRV process, specify the number of 512 byte blocks as arguments on the -Hf and -Sf options of the ulimit command. Use the following commands to enable repositories up to 16 GB in size:

ulimit -Hf 33554432
ulimit -Sf unlimited
 

With large file support, EMSRV for Solaris supports a maximum repository size of 16 GB on UFS volumes.

EMSRV for Solaris implements authentication using PAM. PAM must be correctly configured on a machine running EMSRV otherwise it will not even be possible to shutdown EMSRV using EMADMIN. The /etc/pam.conf file must detail the emsrv service. This release includes an example pam.conf file in /opt/IBMvast/6.0/samples/PAM.
