Installation and Verification

This section provides information on installing Enhanced AutoFS and verifying the Enhanced AutoFS installation.

To install Enhanced AutoFS on your system, perform the following steps:

Download the software depot to a directory, for example, /tmp/EnhancedAuto.depot.
Use swinstall to install Enhanced AutoFS; run the following command:
swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /tmp/EnhancedAuto.depot

The system reboots automatically if the swinstall execution completes without errors.

You can verify the Enhanced AutoFS installation as follows:

To verify that Enhanced AutoFS is successfully installed, run the following command:
swlist -l bundle ENHAUTO
If Enhanced AutoFS is successfully installed, the following message appears:
ENHAUTO B.11.11.0402.1 Enhanced AutoFS, February 2004
To verify that there were no errors during the Enhanced AutoFS installation, run the following command:
swverify ENHAUTO
If Enhanced AutoFS is successfully installed, the following message appears:
Verification succeeded




	NOTE: After installing Enhanced AutoFS, you can specify the maximum data segment size for an executing process using the `maxdsiz` kernel variable. The value for this variable should be at least 256 MB. It is necessary to change the value of the `maxdsiz` kernel variable because `automountd` requires a larger data segment size in a large map configuration.
