I just followed the official instructions
(at /usr/sde/CLIENT_INSTALLATION.TXT)
to set up ODE on my workstation.

My current problem is that I can not mount pool "qaqc"
(Note: I am not operating as root on my workstation
and I shouldn't have to be. Note also that even when I tried
"mkdir /usr/qcsde; chmod 0777 /usr/qcsde" as root,
I get the same message "troi ... Not owner"):
----------------------------------
toast> odemount qaqc
troi on /usr/qcsde: Not owner
----------------------------------

I can, however (something works right today!),
mount pool clustwav3os.nightly:
----------------------------------
toast> odemount clustwav3os.nightly
toast> mount
----------------------------------

My suspicion is that the admin for these two pools is different
and that the admin for the qaqc pool does not realize I am one of
the very few folks that need to use that pool (it wasn't set up for
Pearl Shiue to use yesterday either). Somehow I lucked out on
the clustwav3os pool without having to complain to anyone.

Thanks in advance for fixing permissions
and notifying me when I can odemount qaqc
on my local workstation. My $PRINCIPAL is "Sergei_Kucherov",
and my login name is "kucherov".

Also, what is the proper procedure for mounting an *arbitrary* pool,
such as goldminos onto my local workstation. Who do I have to ask to
set things up so that it will work? Perhaps (just had this idea),
I need simply to enable automounting in ODE (which I was trying to avoid,
but I will do it if it helps me to mount any old pool whenever I want)??

Who says you don't need to be root? If you don't own that filesystem, you 
can't mount it unless you are root. That's why you get the "Not owner" message.

Correct. clustwav3os and the other os and x backingtrees are part of the 
Release Engineering production build environment. The qaqc pool is a private, 
unconnected environment that the QA group uses for their own purposes. There 
are ode_fstab entries for the pools, but they do want to create a 
directory/mount point in usr to mount the pool on so unless you become root, I 
don't see how you be able to do that.

root@cardinal [51] odemount -v qaqc
qaqc: QA/QC group TET pool
mount -r troi:/usr/qcsde /usr/qcsde
root@cardinal [52]

Works for me. Try it as root OK?

You don't have to set anything else up. Just odemount it as root.

Thanks. "odemount qaqc" works on wasted on non-root (probably because it
is already [auto]mounted), but I need to be root on my workstation
to run odemount successfully, *even when* my mount point has 777 permissions
(that is the part I don't understand).
I won't worry about it further. Guess I'm too used to B1/MLS systems
where I had the mount privilege as an ordinary user.
