Starting the System Resource Controller

The System Resource Controller (SRC) is started during system initialization with a record for the /usr/sbin/srcmstr daemon in the /etc/inittab file. The default /etc/inittab file already contains such a record, so this procedure may be unnecessary. You can also start the SRC from the command line, a profile, or a shell script, but there are several reasons for starting it during initialization:

See srcmstr (man page) for the configuration requirements to support remote SRC requests.

Prerequisites

Procedure

Note: This procedure is necessary only if the /etc/inittab file does not already contain a record for the srcmstr daemon.
  1. Make a record for the srcmstr daemon in the /etc/inittab file using the mkitab command. For example, to make a record identical to the one that appears in the default /etc/inittab file, enter:
    mkitab -i fbcheck srcmstr:2:respawn:/usr/sbin/srcmstr
    The -i fbcheck flag ensures that the record will be inserted before all subsystems records.
  2. Tell the init command to reprocess the /etc/inittab file by entering:
    telinit q
    When init revisits the /etc/inittab file, it will process the newly entered record for the srcmstr daemon and start the SRC.
