ptx®/Configuration Assistant is a graphical tool for the initial configuration and set up of a system. The interface guides you through a series of configuration tasks necessary to bring the system to a minimum state of usefulness.
Use ptx/Configuration Assistant to perform the following tasks:
Set or verify the system date and time
Set the password for the administrator (root user)
Manage system swap space
Configure network communications (TCP/IP)
Exit ptx/Configuration Assistant and log on to the system
During the initial installation of DYNIX/ptx®, you are presented with an ASCII version of the setup menus from the ptx/Configuration Assistant program. If you invoke ptx/Configuration Assistant at a later time (once you are in multi-user mode), you are presented with a Java-based version of the interface which provides step-by-step instructions for completing each customization task. The tasks are presented to you in a logical sequence, and it is helpful to complete all customization tasks before you use your system. When you exit ptx/Configuration Assistant, the guide asks you whether you want to start ptx/Configuration Assistant again the next time you restart the operating system. You are ready to log in to your system after you exit ptx/Configuration Assistant.
For all of the tasks to be enabled, you must run ptx/Configuration Assistant as root; otherwise, only one task is enabled.
The ptx/Configuration Assistant product is installed in /opt/cfgassist.
