A.4.2 Installation Notes
Pre-Installation Checklist
Comply with the following requirements, then return to 5.1 - Before Installing Liebert MultiLink.
• During installation you must be logged in as “root.”
• If you are using an SNMP card, check for SNMP daemons. Execute the command
ps -ef | grep -i snmp
. If the processes snmpdx or snmpdm are running, they must be 
disabled before Liebert MultiLink can be installed.
• Make sure the Liebert MultiLink distribution file has execute permission
(chmod +x <file>), then execute it.
Alternate to /tmp during installation
If you do not have enough disk space in the /tmp partition to meet the requirement specified in 
A.3.1 - Platform-Specific Requirements, you may specify an alternate location when starting the 
installation. For example, to use /home/tmp, start the install with the following command:
./ML_40_001_Solaris_x86.bin /home/tmp
Post-Installation Notes
The Liebert MultiLink installation program places the script LiebertM in the /etc/init.d 
directory. It also creates K30LiebertM and S90LiebertM links in the /etc/rc1.d and /etc/rc2.d 
directories.
A.4.3 Notes on Running Liebert MultiLink
If running the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), all users meant to receive pop-up messages 
must allow access to their desktop. This can be accomplished by adding the following command to a 
common logon script (e.g., /etc/profile)-see the CDE documentation or xhost man page for more 
information about the desktop security mechanism: /usr/openwin/bin/xhost +`hostname`
NOTE
The characters surrounding hostname are the grave accent (`) that is usually found on the 
same keyboard key as the tilde (~).
