Installation Gotchas for V6.0 PMDF for Solaris

Contact your PMDF distributor or Innosoft International, Inc., if you need assistance or have questions concerning the installation or configuration of PMDF [pmdf-service@innosoft.com; +1 626 919 3600]. Timely notices, pointers to new PMDF images, and other PMDF news of interest may also be found at the Innosoft web site, www.innosoft.com.


New libpmdf.so image required

All PMDF sites should fetch an updated libpmdf.so image from the Innosoft FTP site. This updated image fixes a problem in PMDF's automatic configuration table resizing. This problem could cause aborts and mysterious symptoms after configuration changes, such as after adding rewrite rules, channels, mappings, aliases, etc.


Delete any existing defragment database

Sites upgrading from PMDF V5.2 or earlier should manually delete any existing PMDF defragment channel database, /pmdf/table/defragment_cache.*, upon upgrading to PMDF V6.0. (Note that some upgrading sites may never have received messages requiring defragmentation and hence not yet have such a database). The defragment channel will automatically create a new database the next time it runs.
