The mkndaf command configures the system to run the NDAF daemons. The mkndaf command adds an entry to the inittab file so that the /etc/rc.ndaf file is run on system restart. The /etc/rc.ndaf file is run to start the dms daemon on an NDAF data server and the dmadm daemon on the NDAF administration server.
