mkitabs
Hi,
can any of you give me detailed part of mkitabs and inittab. I'm new to this part.

My understanding is: when we run mkitabs it write in inittab? is this rite?
can we change the script of mkitabs to make it append instead of removing the items of inittab when starting the system. if i have to append the inittab which script should i modify.


Thanks in Advance.Smilie

volinstall

volinstall(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     volinstall(8)

NAME

       volinstall - Sets up Logical Storage Manager (LSM) environment after LSM installation

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/volinstall

DESCRIPTION

       The volinstall script sets up LSM special device files, and add the following lines to the /etc/inittab file:

       lsmr:s:sysinit:/sbin/lsmbstartup  -b  </dev/console  >/dev/console  2>&1  lsm:23:wait:/sbin/lsmbstartup -n </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1
       vol:23:wait:/sbin/volreconfig -n </dev/console >/dev/console 2>&1

       The first line calls the /sbin/lsmbstartup script, which enables LSM to start automatically on system reboot. The  second  line	calls  the
       /sbin/volreconfig script, which handles any pending encapsulation requests.

       If /sbin/lsmbstartup is not added to the /etc/inittab file, LSM must be started manually after system reboot.

									  Note

       The  volinstall script is automatically invoked by the volsetup, clu_create, and clu_add_member commands. Therefore, running the volinstall
       script to set up LSM is usually not necessary.
