ZST Configuration File Relationships

The following flow diagram shows how the configuration files and tools relate to one another:

 
/usr/sbin/system-config-zing-memory --> /etc/init.d/zing-memory start --> /sbin/insmod .../zing_mm.ko --> /usr/sbin/zing-configure-pmem --> /usr/sbin/zing-llpmem

ZST Boot Sequence File Relationships

After installation and configuration, on bootup, the zing-memory init script loads the kernel module and partition memory. The following flow diagram shows how the boot sequence files and tools relate to one another:

 
/etc/init.d/zing-memory start --> /sbin/insmod .../zing_mm.ko --> /usr/sbin/zing-configure-pmem --> /usr/sbin/zing-llpmem

ZST Update Software File Relationships

The following flow diagram shows how the update files and tools relate to one another:

 
/usr/sbin/system-config-zing-memory --> /etc/init.d/zing-memory start --> /sbin/insmod .../zing_mm.ko --> /usr/sbin/zing-configure-pmem --> /usr/sbin/zing-llpmem
