Turnkey Installation

A turnkey installation is one in which FlashConnect becomes available when the host system starts.

NOTE

A turnkey installation can be created automatically when installing the WWW account by responding yes to the prompt:

Do you want USER-COLDSTART and USER-SHUTDOWN to automatically start and stop FlashConnect in the accountname account at boot and shutdown time? (Y/N)

See the FlashConnect Installation Guide for more information.

Complete the steps below to modify the installation to be a turnkey installation.

To create a turnkey installation:

  1. Modify the D3 user-coldstart macro to include the steps taken to start the FlashConnect components. For example, these lines could be added to the user-coldstart script in the dm account:

logto www

clear-jobs (optional)

clear-file dm,runtime-errors, (optional)

clear-file w3lines

WWW-MANAGER START

logto dm

where www is the FlashConnect account.

  1. Modify the D3 user-shutdown macro to include the steps taken to stop the FlashConnect components. For example, these lines could be added to the user-shutdown script (called :SHUTDOWN in mvBase) in the dm account:

logto www

WWW-SHUTDOWN

logto dm

UNIX: Modify the UNIX /etc/inittab file or the rc.d files to include the steps taken to start the FCService.
