NetView 5.1 on Solaris 2.6 - warning

[Cristina Zabeu <czabeu@DEV.TIVOLI.COM>]

A word of caution...

NetView may fail to install on Solaris 2.6 because tcp port 8888
is in use. Also, ovtopmd won't start even if it installs
correctly, as /usr/OV/conf might not been populated because the
customization scripts are aborted should any of the NetView ports
be in use.

The tcp port 8888 is the default port used by the Solaris 2.6
answerbook web server (used for system documentation). The web
server daemons are called dwhttpd and the configuration for them
is in /usr/lib/ab2/dweb/data/config/dwhttpd.cfg.

A workaround for this is to change the answerbook port number to
8989 (or other number) and it all works fine.

Hope this helps,
Cristina Zabeu
