Summary
DPX does not automatically start after Linux is booted.
Resolution
During installation, DPX prompts you to decide whether or not you want it to start automatically upon bootup. If you answer yes, a symbolic link is made in the init.d startup directory tree pointing to the sscmagent script in the DPX misc directory. The default location of this link is associated with run level 3, as in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S03sscmagent. You can also access this link from /etc/rc3.d which is typically a symbolic link to the /etc/rc.d/rc3.d directory.
If the Linux machine is set up to start a GUI desktop login manager for Gnome, KDE, etc., it will start up to run level 5, not level 3. As a result, the link for starting DPX is not used, and DPX will not start on bootup.
You can provide a symbolic link for run level 5 in this case, either by using the GUI-based administrative tools or by manually creating the link yourself. If you intend to use Linux tools for this, a link to the script must be in the /etc/init.d directory for the tools to find it. You can do this with the following:
ln-s <SSPRODIR>/misc/sscmagent /etc/init.d/sscmagent
where <SSPRODIR> is the base DPX directory.
Note that links under /etc/init.d are not associated with any run level, but serve as the central repository for all startup and shutdown scripts.
To manually apply a link for run level 5:
ln-s SSPRODIR/misc/sscmagent /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S03sscmagent
where <SSPRODIR> is the base DPX directory.
