This section presents a step-by-step procedure for generating the PMDF-XGS configuration files using the PMDF-XGS command line configuration utility pmdf configure xgs.

1. Configuration of PMDF-XGS should be done by root. If you are not logged in as root, do so now.
2. Begin the configuration procedure by invoking the PMDF-XGS configuration utility as follows, assuming that you have /usr/bin in your search path:

   # cd /pmdf/table # pmdf configure xgs

3. The configuration procedure will optionally print out detailed explanations of each prompt as it proceeds. Unless you are conversant with the procedure, you should enable the detailed output.
4. The configuration procedure will optionally print out detailed explanations of each prompt as it proceeds. Unless you are familiar with the procedure, you should enable the detailed output.
5. The answers to all the prompts are logged to a file in the /pmdf/table directory. After the first configuration, pmdf configure xgs can use the answers to the previous run as the default answers.
6. Once you have completed running pmdf configure xgs, type out or print out the checklist file, /pmdf/table/xgs.checklist and complete the configuration by following the steps outlined in the checklist.
7. If you are using a compiled configuration you will need to recompile using the pmdf cnbuild utility for your new PMDF-XGS configuration to be visible to PMDF.
8. Once you have included the SNADS service in the PMDF Service Dispatcher configuration file as directed by the checklist file, you must restart the Dispatcher so that it sees the new configuration, using the command

   # pmdf restart dispatcher
