Clients would report that the connection had closed.
Installation
------------
Linux
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.
Download the appropriate .zip file. Use 'unzip' to extract the
files.
Move to the /pmdf/lib directory to do the extraction.
> cd /pmdf/lib
> unzip libpmdf66-x03.zip
After the files are unzipped into their proper directories,
ensure that the ownership and protection on each are set correctly:
# 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
