Perspectives is a graphical user interface you can use to manage and monitor the SP system. Complete instructions for using Perspectives appear in the online help information.
You can use Perspectives during the installation and migration process to perform a variety of tasks including aid in installing and verifying software.
To start Perspectives, issue:
perspectives &
Note that many of the installation steps require you to use SMIT. You can use SMIT directly by issuing SMIT commands or you can access SMIT using Perspectives. Often used SMIT fast-paths, such as smit_verify, are available from the Perspectives Launch Pad.
When launching Perspectives using the install_cw command or from the command line, you may receive the following message:
Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
This message indicates that you are attempting to run Perspectives in a locale that is not currently installed on your control workstation. Although Perspectives will run properly in this case, if you want to avoid seeing this message, check your LANG environment variable and ensure that it is set to a locale that is supported on your machine.
