mount -t tmpfs -o size=1000M tmpfs /media/ramdisk/ mkdir -p /media/ramdisk/nmis8/var ln -s /data/nmis8/var/events /media/ramdisk/nmis8/var /usr/local/nmis8/admin/fixperms.pl |
Step #3 - Disable NMIS
We need to disable NMIS so that it will not attempt to modify the files as we are point nmis8/var to the new RAM disk. Comment out any jobs in /etc/cron.d/nmis that may run during the next 20 minutes. Here's an example of a couple cron jobs that should be commented out.

######################################################
# Run (selective) Statistics and Service Status Collection often
#* * * * * root /usr/local/nmis8/bin/nmis.pl type=collect mthread=true ; /usr/local/nmis8/bin/nmis.pl type=services mthread=true
######################################################
# Run Summary Update every 5 minutes
#*/5 * * * * root /usr/local/nmis8/bin/nmis.pl type=summary |
After these jobs have been disabled, check the server for any nmis.pl processes

[root@TEST]# ps -ef | grep nmis.pl |
When none are found continue
Step #4 - Point nmis8/var at the RAM Disk
