| 4261.2 | Can we get JUST sar?? | DYOSW5::WILDER | Does virtual reality get swapped? | Wed Feb 19 1997 19:57 | 9 |
| Is it possible to get JUST the sar utility from the SVE subset? My
customer does NOT want to run in an SVE environment, but they DO want
sar. They have sar on their HP systems, and they want a common utility
for measuring their batch jobs. Is this possible???
Thanks,

I'm afraid there is no easy way to install just sar. Keep in mind that sar
involves more than just the sar command, there are a number of related utilities
that sample, save and process performance data. So the only way to be certain
to get sar and its utilities properly installed and configured is to install
the System V Environment (SVE).
But the good news is that it is not necessary for the users to work in an SVE
environment if they choose not to. Once SVE is installed it becomes an
optional environment, the standard Digital UNIX environment is still there.
A user can choose which enviroment to work in via the .profile.

| 4261.4 | How do we do this? | DYOSW5::WILDER | Does virtual reality get swapped? | Fri Feb 21 1997 07:03 | 12 |
| re: .3
Interesting. I was always of the belief that once SVE was installed,
the entire system became a native SVE system.
If we do install the SVE sets, what do we have to do in the .profile to
run the the "original" environment (non SVE)?

I think that's a common misconception.

Actually nothing. After installing SVE the install script will ask which
users should be setup for a System V Environment. For any user you choose
the .profile has the following lines added:
if [ -f /etc/svr4_profile ]
then
. /etc/svr4_profile
fi
That's it. To "turn on" svr4 you simply source /etc/svr4_profile which
essentially sets the PATH to point to SVE commands instead of DU commands
and sets the CMD_ENV=svr4.
If you want to have a user continue to work in the DU environment you just
leave the .profile or .login alone.
You can also source /etc/svr4_profile (or /etc/svr4_login for csh) manually
if you choose.
The key thing is that SVE and DU environments co-exist. Each user can choose
the prefered environment.
Hope this explanation helps.

| 4261.6 | Thanks, and finally.. | DYOSW5::WILDER | Does virtual reality get swapped? | Sat Feb 22 1997 10:29 | 5 |
| THANKS! That helps. Now, I assume that in order to even install the SVE
subset, I need the license, right?
