RemovableMediaManager(1M)                            RemovableMediaManager(1M)



NAME
     RemovableMediaManager - removable media manager

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog
     /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaRemovableMediaCatalog.cdf

DESCRIPTION
     Managers display information about your system and provide access to
     interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.  For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user
     accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add
     a User Account" and "Modify a User Account."

     In a Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window.

     The removable media manager gets its information from the system using
     mediad(1M).

GUIDES
     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more privileged commands to perform the system
     administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd.
     See runpriv(1M) for more information about privileged commands.

     Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or
     be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Format Removable Media
               This guide lets you initialize media in a removable media
               device.  The privilege needed for this task is:

               ⊕    Format Removable Media (formatRMedia(1M)).

     Share Removable Media
               This guide lets you specify a removable media device to be
               shared using mediad(1M).  The privilege needed for this task
               is:

               ⊕    Share Removable Media (shareRemovableMedia(1M)).





                                                                        Page 1

     Stop Sharing Removable Media
               This guide lets you stop sharing a removable media device.  The
               privilege needed for this task is:

               ⊕    Stop Sharing Removable Media (unshareRemovableMedia(1M)).

     Monitor Removable Media Device
               This guide lets you tell mediad to start monitoring a removable
               media device.  The privilege needed for this task is:

               ⊕    Monitor Removable Media (monitorRemovableMedia(1M)).

     Stop Monitoring Removable Media
               This guide lets you tell mediad to stop monitoring a removable
               media device.  The privilege needed for this task is:

               ⊕    Stop Monitoring Removable Media
                    (unmonitorRemovableMedia(1M)).

     Back Up Files
               This task lets you perform or schedule a backup of files on
               your workstation.  If you schedule a backup, you may schedule
               it for a single time in the future, or you may schedule a
               recurring backup on a daily or weekly basis.

     Restore Files From a Backup
               This task lets you restore files on your workstation from a
               previous backup.  The backup can be on a disk file or a tape.
