NAME
       prestosetup - Configures the Prestoserve software

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/prestosetup

DESCRIPTION
       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	configura-
       tion.   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 con-
       firm  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  addi-
       tional file systems to the list in the /etc/prestotab file.

FILES
       Lists the mount points for the file systems that you want automatically accelerated when the system starts up.
