Database Administration Installation Guide
If you do not specify a new location for the lockfiles during installation,
you can do so later by editing the
patroldb.ini file. The server determines
where to place the lockfiles based on the location that is specified by the
LockDirectory entry in the [System Parameters] section of the
patroldb.ini file. If no LockDirectory entry exists, the server places the
lockfiles in
/tmp.
When running a query, you can obtain information about the servers
running from your current BMC_HOME, or information about all the
servers running on your computer. To set up your computer to query all
servers located on your computer, you need to perform the following
steps:
Step 1 For each server that you want to query, set the LockDirectory entry in
the
[System Parameters] section of the $BMC_HOME/patroldb.ini
file to the same location.
Step 2 Restart all servers to activate the change.
See “Starting, Stopping, and Querying the Servers with patroldb” on
page 4-2 for more information about starting the server and running
queries.
