       prestosetup - Configures the Prestoserve software

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/sbin/prestosetup

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  prestosetup  command  is an interactive facility that
       allows  you  to  set  up  Prestoserve  on   your   system.
       Prestoserve  speeds  up synchronous disk writes, including
       NFS server access, by reducing the  amount  of  disk  I/O.
       The  prestosetup  command  also  allows  you to modify the
       Prestoserve configuration on your system.

       In order to use Prestoserve, your system must contain  the
       necessary Prestoserve hardware.

       The  prestosetup  command  verifies  that  the Prestoserve
       license  is  registered,  the  Prestoserve  utilities  are
       installed, and the Prestoserve software is configured into
       your kernel. Note that some Prestoserve hardware  configurations
  require  different forms of kernel configuration.
       If the Prestoserve hardware was installed in  your  system
       when  the  operating system was installed, the Prestoserve
       software will be automatically configured into  your  kernel.
   If  not,  you  may  have  to rebuild your kernel to
       include the correct Prestoserve controller  device  before
       you run prestosetup.

       The  prestosetup  command  configures  Prestoserve on your
       system by asking the  following  questions:  Do  you  want
       Prestoserve   automatically  enabled  at  system  startup?
       Which file systems do you want to accelerate? To specify a
       file  system, use the mount point.  Do not specify a block
       device because some functional  subsystems,  such  as  the
       Advanced  File System (AdvFS), can map more than one block
       device to a mount point.  Do you want to start Prestoserve
       now?

       After  you  have  entered  the  necessary information, the
       prestosetup command  displays  the  information  that  you
       entered and prompts you to confirm that the information is
       correct.   If  the  information  is   not   correct,   the
       prestosetup command exits and no changes are made.  If the
       information is correct, the prestosetup command  does  the
       following: Creates the /dev/pr0 Prestoserve control device
       if  necessary.   Creates  the  /etc/prestotab   file   and
       includes  the  mount  points for the file systems that you
       want automatically accelerated when the system starts  up.
       Updates  the  /etc/rc.config file and sets the appropriate
       run-time    configuration    variables.     Updates    the
       /sbin/init.d/presto  startup  script  with the Prestoserve
       configuration information from the /etc/rc.config file.

       If you choose not to automatically enable Prestoserve when
       you  start  up  the  system,  you  must manually start the
       prestoctl_svc daemon and use the presto command to  accelerate
 the file systems.

       The  prestosetup  command  also  allows  you to modify the
       Prestoserve configuration on your  system.   For  example,
       you may want to add additional file systems to the list in
       the /etc/prestotab file.
