5.2.4 Changing the work directory

If the free space in the work directory that is being used temporarily becomes insufficient in the distribution-destination system or the packager, take either of the following actions:

• Increase the partition size of the work directory.

• Change the work directory.

The following procedure shows how to change the work directory. Before using the procedure, make sure that you are logged in as a superuser.

Note that if you change the work directory, the changed work directory is not deleted when JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent is uninstalled. When uninstalling JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent, manually delete the changed work directory.

1. Terminate the process.

   • For systems other than HP-UX:

     For a client workstation

     rdsrf -q

     /NETMRDS/COM/rdskillsrv

     For an end workstation

     /NETMRDS/COM/rdssnde -q

     /NETMRDS/COM/rdskillsrv

   • For HP-UX:

     For a client workstation

     /opt/NETMDMW/bin/rdsrf -q

     /opt/NETMDMW/lbin/rdskillsrv

     For an end workstation

     /opt/NETMDMW/lbin/rdssnde -q

     /opt/NETMDMW/lbin/rdskillsrv

2. Change the work directory.

   The example below shows how to set the work directory when sufficient free space is available under /home.

   • For systems other than HP-UX and Linux:

     When /NETMRDS is a symbolic link:

     unlink /NETMRDS

     cp -rp /opt/NETMRDS /home

     rm -rf /opt/NETMRDS

     ln -s /home/NETMRDS /NETMRDS

     When /NETMRDS is an actual directory:

     cp -rp /NETMRDS /home

     rm -rf /NETMRDS

     ln -s /home/NETMRDS /NETMRDS

   • For HP-UX:

     cp -rp /var/opt/NETMDMW /home

     rm -rf /var/opt/NETMDMW

     ln -s /home/NETMDMW /var/opt/NETMDMW

   • For Linux:

     unlink /NETMRDS

     cp -rp /opt/NETMDMW /home

     rm -rf /opt/NETMDMW

     ln -s /home/NETMDMW /NETMRDS

     ln -s /home/NETMDMW /opt/NETMDMW

   The work directory also contains the following files, which have the socket attribute:

   • For systems other than HP-UX: /NETMRDS/SCTSVC/xxx (xxx: variable)

   • For HP-UX: /var/opt/NETMDMW/SCTSVC/xxx (xxx: variable)

   An attempt to move a file that has the socket attribute might fail. If an attempt to move a file fails, the file is re-created when the process starts. You can therefore ignore an error message that appears if moving fails.

3. Start the process.

   • For systems other than HP-UX: /NETMRDS/COM/rdsstart

   • For HP-UX: /opt/NETMDMW/lbin/rdsstart
