oem_setup_env command

Purpose

Initiates the OEM installation and setup environment.

Syntax

oem_setup_env

Description

The oem_setup_env command places the user into the OEM software installation and setup environment. In this environment, the user can install and set up OEM software by following the installation instructions that are provided with each software package. After the software is installed, the user will need to create a link in the /usr/ios/oem/ directory to any new commands that will run from the Virtual I/O Server command line. After these links have been created, the commands will be accessible by all Virtual I/O Server users. However, note that these commands do not run with root authority.

After the software has been installed, typing exit will return the user to the Virtual I/O Server prompt.

Only the prime administrator can run this command.

Note: The oem_setup_env command places the padmin user in a non-restricted UNIX root shell with a home directory in the /home/padmin directory. The user can then run any command available to the root user. This is not a supported Virtual I/O Server administration method. The purpose of this command is to allow installation of vendor software, such as device drivers.

Exit Status

See Exit status for Virtual I/O Server commands

Examples

To initiate the OEM setup and installation environment, type the following:

oem_setup_env
