Configuring Intel Nodes for Monitoring by SPO
12.9. Running the Console Output Redirection
Script
Cautions
1. For each UnixWare node, create an emergency recovery diskette that you can
use to reboot the node if the console redirection procedure should fail (8.13).
2. SPO daemons must be running on the SPO server in order to redirect console
output as described in this subsection. See 10.16 if they are not running.
3. Before running the URM installation script, verify in the TopCluster window that
the SPO server, the UnixWare node, and the system console icons are green.
Green icons indicate that the SPO server has a normal connection to those
components. If the icons have not turned green within about 30 seconds of
starting normal operations, ensure that all SPO daemons are running by
stopping and restarting them as described in 10.16.
The script described in this section can handle both manual installation of the URM agent
and console output redirection. However, only the redirection feature of this script is
actually used. (See step 7 below.)
To use this procedure, SPO Console sites must have Console 4.3 or higher installed in the
default location.
If the TopCluster window did not appear when normal SPO Basic Edition operations were
started, click Displays on the main menu bar, then click Cluster in the drop-down menu
that appears.
After starting SPO Basic Edition operations (12.7), run the script to install URM agent files
on each UnixWare node and to redirect console output from the node to the SPO server so
that the node can be monitored by SPO Basic Edition.
The procedure, which you must do for each UnixWare node, is as follows:
1. In the TopCluster diagram of SPO Console, click the icon of the UnixWare node
(CP_UNIXx) to open a console session. You must open a SPO session to monitor the
node because the node will not boot if a process is not monitoring the serial port.
2. At the system console of the UnixWare node, log on to the node as the root user (userid
root) if you are not already logged on, as follows:
a. Double-click Applications, then Terminal.
The dollar sign ($) prompt appears.
b. Type the su command, then press Enter.
You are prompted to enter a password.
