By default, SCO UnixWare v7.1.1 systems have DMI access set to read-only. This setting prevents
ISC from changing sensor thresholds, enabling the watchdog timer, and executing other functions.
To allow ISC to operate correctly, DMI access write permission must be enabled. Do the following
to enable DMI access to write:
1. Loginas'root'.
2. Stop the DMI Service Provider (dmi stop).
3. Open the file /etc/rc2.d/S89dmi for editing.
4. Change the line
$DMI_PATH $@ to $DMI_PATH $@ -w.
5. Save the file and restart the DMI Service Provider (dmi start).
This change is valid for all future sessions.
