SNAP-IX operation

 

The SNAP-IX control daemon is started with the sna start command. Depending on the options selected at installation, it may already be running.

The xsnaadmin utility controls SNAP-IX resources.

Logging and tracing are controlled from here. Log and trace files can be found in the /var/opt/sna directory. The logging files sna.aud and sna.err can be read using a standard editor such as vi.

In order to read the trace files sna1.trc and sna2.trc first format them by running the command snatrcfmt -f sna1.trc -o sna1. This produces a sna1.dmp file that can be read using a normal editor.

It is possible to edit the configuration file, but this is not a recommended method of configuring SNAP-IX.

The APPCLLU environment variables must be set before starting a sender channel from the Solaris system. The command can be either entered interactively or added to the logon profile. Depending on the level of BOURNE shell or KORN shell program being used, the command will be:

export APPCLLU=SOLARXLU    5   newer level

or

APPCLLU=SOLARXLU           5   older level
export
