Log in to a node where Performance Manager has been installed. If the rehash command has not been issued since Performance Manager was installed, type this command to recreate the internal command tables used by the shell:

   # rehash

Before starting Performance Manager, be sure the DISPLAY environment variable on the system where Performance Manager will be started is set to the X Window System workstation or PC where you want Performance Manager displayed.

There are additional considerations if you display Performance Manager on a PC.

To start Performance Manager, issue the /usr/bin/x11/pmgr command at a root prompt (see the pmgr(8) reference page for details):

   # pmgr

Performance Manager can be started from a non-root account, but the log file (/var/opt/pm/l/pmgr_gui.log) must first have its permissions changed to allow non-root users to write to it; for example, issue the following command as root to make the log file writable by everyone:

   # chmod  666  /var/opt/pm/l/pmgr_gui.log

When Performance Manager starts, it opens its splash screen (identity window) on the workstation defined by the DISPLAY environment variable. After the identity window closes, the main window is displayed. You can click on the splash screen to close it and display the main window immediately.
