urgent: DXUL-SM installation help needed

Hi All,

Kindly help me if you can please.

I am trying to install DXUL-SM on Solaris 10 (Fujitsu Server PrimePower 650) box. I have configured some disk space on the machine for the name server catalog, the system catalog and disk catalog but when i want to select this from the available resource, it doesn't show on the GUI for name server catalog or for system catalog.

Can anyone put me in the right direction? or if possible, provide me with a best practice doc for DXUL-SM.

Here's the output from format command:

# more format.txt

Hi All,

Answering my own question!.

Hopefully this will help others who might be having the same problems. Here's the result that will help you understand why I was having problems with the installation.

Actually the DXUL developer really helped me with this. The main problem was that there was a bug in the get_disks code. This code shows all the available disks that you can put the system catalogs in. However the get_disks code in DXUL-SM 2.9.1 had a minor bug. The DXUL developer fixed the code (get_disks was only checking the first slice by default and was not checking other slices). This was the main problem.

Here's the part of the code:
while read disk
do
solaris_prtvtoc /dev $disk s0
done

The DX developer added the following:
while read disk
do
solaris_prtvtoc /dev $disk s0
solaris_prtvtoc /dev $disk s6
done

I needed slice 6 (s6) to be visible because I needed to put the system catalogs in that slice. If you want, you can modify the get_disks code in the /usr/diskx/gui folder yourself if you need some slice which is not visible in the GUI.

What I need now if there are any training documents for DXFSM for UNIX and DXUL-SM if anyone has them.

Thanks
Kamal
