Installing the Broadcaster
When you install the controller driver, you automatically install the
the broadcaster in /usr/dpt. During broadcaster installation, you are
prompted to specify if the broadcaster is loaded automatically
when the system is started in multiuser mode. If you specify
automatic loading, events are gathered and recorded without user
intervention. This also copies a script file, s33dpt, to the
/etc/rc2.d
directory. This script automatically loads the broadcaster as a
background process when the system goes into multiuser mode.
Stopping/Restarting the Broadcaster
A script file (dptlog) is provided that enables you to stop and restart
the broadcaster from the UNIX prompt. Use the following
commands to stop or start the broadcaster:
Viewing Events
Events can be viewed from the system console or a terminal by
using the Event Logs window in Storage Manager (see Event Log on
