14 The mmsinit command initializes the Media Management System (MMS) envi‐
15 ronment and enables MMS services. An MMS server runs the Media Manage‐
16 ment (MM) daemon, which controls access to MMS-managed storage
17 resources, and hosts the MMS database. Run this command once to start
18 MMS services with the specified attributes. To change the attributes
19 after this command has been invoked, use the mmsadm(1M) command.
20 The mmsinit command requires the -t server argument, to specify the
23 server on which MMS services will run.
24 To run mmsinit, you must become superuser, or assume the Primary Admin‐
27 istrator role.

30 The following options are supported:
31 -o optionname=value...
33 Specify one or more of the options and values listed below.
35 log-level=emergency|alert|critical|error|warning|
37 notice|information|debug
38 Sets the severity level of messages to be included in the log
40 file. Default level is error, logging all error messages.
41 num-restarts=num
44 Specifies the number of attempts to start a failed daemon
46 before the drive or library associated with the daemon is dis‐
47 abled and requires the mmsadm online command to be run after
48 the problem with the system or device is resolved. Use a value
49 of -1 for unlimited restart attempts. The default value is 3.
50 attended=yes|no
53 Specify whether MMS makes operator requests when an operation
55 cannot be automatically satisfied. An example of such a case
56 would be if a mount request was made for a tape volume that had
57 been physically removed from a library. The default action,
58 yes, indicates that an operator is available to respond.
59 num-sockets=num
62 Specifies the number of open file descriptors the MM daemon can
64 have at one time. On a resource-constrained system, set this
65 value to a number between 30 and 65536. It is not recommended
66 to set the value to less than 256. The default value is -1,
67 which sets number of file descriptors to the maximum supported.
68 disk-timeout=seconds
71 Specifies the time a disk archiving drive manager waits for the
73 file system containing a disk archiving volume to become avail‐
74 able. It is strongly recommended to set the time to a minimum
75 of 120 seconds (two minutes). Use a value of 0 to specify no
76 expiration time.
77 -P passwordfile
81 Path to a file containing the MMS administrative password. If this
83 option is not specified, the user will be prompted for the pass‐
84 word. A password must contain at least eight characters.

120 When MMS is added to the Automated Cartridge System Library Software
121 (ACSLS) environment, the ACSLS configuration must be modified to allow
122 them to work together. See the procedure for performing these modifica‐
123 tions at the OpenSolaris web site for MMS:
