1 System Start-up and Shutdown

Scripts are provided for starting and stopping the Spectrum Power 3 system and for rebuilding the shared memory image used by
the system. All scripts reside in the directory
$SPECPATH/MCS_CONF
Note that the names of the start-up and shutdown scripts are all upper case. A script provides a shorthand method of changing to
this directory. To move to the directory, simply type:

 Management Utilities

2 Management Utilities
Spectrum Power 3 provides a number of utilities which are useful in monitoring and controlling the network of computers and
software which comprise the Spectrum Power 3 system.

2.1 Spectrum Power 3 Error Message Help

Spectrum Power 3 generates error messages which look like:
Feb 22 14:55:07 com1p user:notice mvrp : 2330 ADRMES read 2 829
This message includes:

the following examples:

Where:
name is the name of the printer, usually something like “LP01”.
The utility need not be executed on the computer to which the printer is connected, however softbus must be available on the
computer on which the command is entered, as well as on the computer to which the printer is connected. When the printer is turned
on, it will normally print a page eject and a header line.

 sos-Spectrum Power 3 System Statistics

4 sos-Spectrum Power 3 System Statistics

Spectrum Power 3 collects a wide variety of statistics, as well as other information about the system. These may be viewed in real
time by running the sos utility in a window logged in to the server on which they are being collected. A number of general statistics
and status information are displayable which will be meaningful to most users of the system. However, some information will be
meaningful only to those with detailed system knowledge.
The utility may be initiated with the mouse by using button 1 (left) to select “debug”, then selecting SOS from the pop-up. (NOTE:
sos may also be initiated by typing “sos” in response to a UNIX command prompt. When starting in this mode, be certain that the
window in which it is initiated is sufficiently large before starting the utility; the utility does not currently respond well to resizing the
window. The window should be at least 80x25 characters.)
Statistics are grouped into categories. A category is selected by typing the two character category mnemonic. Typing “he” (help) in
the window gives a list of categories, commands accepted by the utility, and meanings of special characters in the displays. (Note

5.1 spv activate Command

The activate command immediately activates server states which have been prepared with the nominate command. Some software
objects must confirm the changeover; if confirmation is not received, the changeover will not succeed. This command should be
used advisedly; use show prepstates to verify the intended (future) configuration.

5.2 spv denominate Command

This is used to reverse effects of the nominate command. For example:
denominate name1
Reverses the effect on server name1, and:
denominate all
reverses the effect on all servers.
