Installation
------------
OpenVMS
Not applicable
Solaris, Tru64
Before installing a new libpmdf.so, issue the following command:
# pmdf shutdown
Failure to issue the above command could result in the current processes
not recognizing commands (i.e., restart and shutdown) with the new
libpmdf.so in place.
To install the new shared library, place it into the /pmdf/lib/ directory
and then execute the following commands:
# chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so
# chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so
In some cases new versions of libpmdf.so may alter the format of compiled
configurations. When this happens recompilation is also necessary:
# pmdf cnbuild
Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions of
libpmdf.so may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch" errors.
Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command:
# pmdf startup
Windows NT, Windows 2000
Before installing a new libpmdf.dll, issue the following command:
pmdf shutdown
Failure to issue the above command could result in the current processes
not recognizing commands (i.e., restart and shutdown) with the new
libpmdf.dll in place.
To install the new shared library, place it into the c:\pmdf\bin\
directory.
In some cases new versions of libpmdf.dll may alter the format of compiled
configurations. When this happens recompilation is necessary:
pmdf cnbuild
Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions of
libpmdf.dll may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch" errors.
Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command:
pmdf startup
