egosetrc

The command to configure automatic startup of EGO on a Linux® host. The egosetrc.sh script supports the init daemon process, which starts as soon as your system starts and continues running until it is shut down. (IBM® Spectrum Symphony also provides the egosetsystemd.sh script, which supports the systemd daemon process, which starts processes in parallel, and reduces the boot time and computational overhead.) Depending on your system, use either egosetrc.sh or egosetsystemd.sh.

Synopsis

egosetrc.sh

Description

Configures a Linux host to allow automatic startup of EGO on the machine when a system reboot command is issued. Creates the file ego under the system startup directory.

This is an administrative command. You must be logged on as root to issue this command.

For ease of administration, you should enable automatic startup. This starts EGO automatically when the host restarts. After running egosetrc.sh, perform one of the following steps:
  • Restart the machine so that EGO can start up automatically.
  • Run systemctl start ego as root so that the cluster runs at the expected level
    Note: If you run systemctl start ego to start the cluster, note that the EGO service under /var/lock/subsys is not affected. As a result, any changes to the run level do not automatically affect system operations (for example, dropping from level 5 to level 2 does not automatically shut down the cluster).

If you do not configure hosts to start automatically, EGO must be started manually.
