Initializing the MM Server

The MM server operates with the following characteristics:

• MM server listens on Port 7151.
• MM database is located at /etc/mms/db, runs in the account mms, and listens on Port 7656. Its log is located at /var/log/mms/db/log.
• Error messages are recorded in the file: /var/log/mms/mm.log.
• All trace logs are located in /var/log/mms location.
• No encryption is used.
• Users are prompted for the application password for operations that affect applications.

You can change these characteristics after the MM server is initialized.

How To Initialize the MM Server

1. Issue the mmsinit (1M) command:

   mmsinit -t mm 

2. At the prompt, create the administrator password, according to the rules for the administrator password.
3. Verify that MMS is running.
   The following command reports the status of each MMS service.

   svcs svc:/application/management/mms 

           STATE          STIME    FMRI 
           online         14:46:52 svc:/application/management/mms:mm 
           online         14:46:53 svc:/application/management/mms:wcr 
           online         14:46:57 svc:/application/management/mms:db 
   

When all three services are running, you can use the mmsadm list subcommand to display the status of MMS components.
