Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1006640.1 : How To Get Sun [TM] Explorer To Collect ALOM Data
PreviouslyPublishedAs 209261 Description Sun [TM] Explorer 5.1 and later have the capability to collect data from ALOM that is useful for troubleshooting. Steps to Follow How To Get Sun [TM] Explorer To Collect ALOM Data Here are some points to take note of before Sun Explorer is run. 1) The system
must have the ALOM "NET MGT" port connected and
configured. Note: < Document: 1004884.1 > explains how to configure the "NET MGT" port. 2) The ALOM script (alomextended) is not run by default,it must be specified. Example of running just the ALOM script: /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -w !default,alomextended Example of running the default scripts and alomextended /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -w default,alomextended
3) A configuration
file must be populated as shown below.If this is not done The file name is: /etc/opt/SUNWexplo/alominput.txt The default contents are: # Input file for extended data collection # Format is HOST USERNAME PASSWORD # Explorer requires the mode of alominput.txt is 0600 Example of a populated file: # Input file for extended data collection # Format is HOST USERNAME PASSWORD # Explorer requires the mode of alominput.txt is 0600 pts-alom-net admin admin1 The critical part of this is to know that the "HOST" is the name associated with the IP address of the "net mgt" port and not the system's hostname. Using the IP address of the "net mgt" port will also work for the "HOST" setting. Also the "USERNAME" and "PASSWORD" are for the ones used to log into ALOM on the "net mgt" port. This file must have permission set to 0600. 4) The default ALOM prompt of "sc>" must be in use. The script will not run with a customized prompt (BugID 6324558 Click Here). Below is an example of the path explorer will save the ALOM data and what is collected: # pwd /opt/SUNWexplo/output/explorer.83295e2b.pts-lab-2005.09.08.19.20/sc/pts-alom-net # ls consolehistory_-e_100.out shownetwork_-v.out showdate.out showplatform_-v.out showenvironment.out showsc_-v.out showfru.out showusers.out showlocator.out usershow.out showlogs_-e_100.out # Please also see < Document: 1002383.1 > for further Sun Explorer information.
