‘‘Kernel Memory Dump File Management”

The Express5800/ftServer System Software for the Linux Operating System (Express

Builder) provides a special command interface, ftsmaint, for managing the fault-

tolerant components of your ftServer system. It also includes a monitoring and

diagnostic package, the Express Service Network, that enables your ftServer system to

interact with the Express Service Network. When you configure the Express Service

Network, the NEC Corporation of America Customer Support Center or your authorized

NEC service representative can receive alarm notifications when faults or other significant

events occur on your system, and can remotely diagnose problems. The following

sections explain how to use the ftsmaint command and how to configure the

Express Service Network, and also information about managing dump files and about

system load.

The ftsmaint Command

The ftsmaint command provides a control interface for managing your ftServer

system’s fault-tolerant functions. To see basic command options, type the ftsmaint

command.

The ftsmaint command arguments support both device query and management

tasks. Some of the command arguments only apply to certain devices or systems,

which you must specify following the command argument.

Most of the ftsmaint command task arguments require an enumerated hardware

specification argument following them, indicated by path in the command descriptions

that follow. Any hardware path value shown in ftsmaint ls output can be used as

a path argument.
