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 regis‐
       tered,  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  com‐
       mand  displays the information that you entered and prompts you to con‐
       firm that the information is correct.  If the information is  not  cor‐
       rect,  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 sys‐
       tems that you want automatically accelerated when the system starts up.
       Updates the /etc/rc.config file and sets the appropriate run-time  con‐
       figuration  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 con‐
       figuration on your system.  For example, you may want to add additional
       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.
