How do I start lmgrd when the machine boots?
These instructions apply to any services which need to be started at boot time on AIX, not just lmgrd . The details of these instructions may or may not be applicable to your own situation, depending on the exact configuration of your systems. You should consult your local policies and support organizations and convince yourself that the suggestions made here are appropriate before putting them into practice. That said, this is fairly basic stuff. We will use the ‘ mkitab ‘ command to add an entry to the /etc/inittab file. This command is used in place of simply editing inittab,because it helps to insure that the integrity of inittab is maintained. If you were to make even a small error while editing inittab, the system may become unbootable. The mkitab command helps to alleviate this risk.
