HP UX Encrypted Volume and Filesystem (EVFS) specs

Step 4i: Configuring the Autostart Feature

Configure the autostart feature to ensure that the EVFS subsystem is started when the adoptive node starts. Enable EVFS in the /etc/rc.config.d/evfs file. Change the value for EVFS_ENABLED to 1 as follows:

EVFS_ENABLED = 1
