Issue/Introduction

The documentation provides instructions for running multiple robots on a single host but does not give any instructions for Solaris systems.  Is it possible to run multiple robots on a single Solaris host with this method?

Environment

Solaris

NimBUS Robot - any version

Cause

Compatibility

Resolution

This is possible on Solaris 11;  it will not work on Solaris 10.

After installing the second robot on the Solaris 11 host, follow these steps:

- copy the file /etc/init.d/nimbus_boot and name the copy nimbus2_boot and leave it in the same /etc/init.d location

- replace all instances of /opt/nimbus in the newly copied file with /opt/nimbus2

- replace all instances of /opt/nimsoft with /opt/nimsoft2

This should allow the 2nd robot to start on reboot.
