How do I set up a symavoid file on the Solutions Enabler Virtual Appliance?
Hi all:
I've done my best, and I can't seem to come up with an answer. The Virtual Appliance user 'seconfig' lacks the ability to write to /var/symapi/config , so I cannot 'vi' a symavoid file. Any tips?

Nifty suggestion! However, after the "Single Mode" has been reached, I am still prompted for a password.
This is the 7.1.1 Virtual Appliance, btw.

Mike,
i had to make some changes to the appliance myself (modify /etc/hosts) and seconfig doesn't have those permissions. Google on how to boot Suse Linux into single user mode, change root password and then modify whatever you need to do.

My Virtual Appliance calls this OS "Suse Linux Enterprise 8/9".
At the boot menu I hit 'e', which allowed me to edit the boot options. I appended 'single' at the end, and watched boot.msg scroll by until I saw the request for the password. Can't get past that point.

Hi dynamox, I want to run symaccess commands on the Solutions Enabler Virtual Appliance, but on the SE vAPP seconfig there's no symaccess command. If I run this procedure, it will be possible to run the command on the Suse Linux of the vAPP?
Thanks!
maybe, this appliance is designed to run only specific set of commands. You would need to know which files to modify so that symaccess command is available in that list (if it's installed in the first place). If you need access to more commands, why not install RedHat or Suse VM and install full blown version of solutions enabler ?

2. Nothng happend!! Ok you cann't edit it from here in this release. But instead SUSE provides a method to Enter you boot code. Select the SUSE entry in the startup GRUB screen. Look for Boot Options in the bottom of the window. You can just type in the boot options here..
