Setting Your Path to the scadm Utility

To set your path to the scadm utility, perform these two steps:

  1. Find out the proper platform name for your system.
  2. Set the path to scadm on your system.
Refer to your Solaris operating environment documentation for more information about how to set the path. The procedure differs depending on which command shell you are using in the Solaris operating environment, as well as which file you want to use to contain path information.

The scadm utility resides in the following directory:

/usr/platform/platform-name/sbin

where platform-name is the platform name for your system.

How to Find Out Your System's Platform Name

At the system prompt, type uname -i.

The system returns a result similar to the following:

% uname -i
SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440

The result in this example shows the platform name for the Sun Fire V440 server. The result you see depends on your server model. This example means that the default directory for the ALOM software on the Sun Fire V440 is:

/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440/sbin
