Checking BTS System Time

BTS clocks must be accurate to 2 seconds.

Caution Do not change the date or time in your BTS host machines while CA, FS, EMS, and BDMS are running. Instead allow the Solaris OS to get the time automatically through NTP services.

Step 1 Log in to the primary and secondary EMSs as root.

Step 2 Enter <hostname># date.

Step 3 On each EMS ensure the following are correct:

a.The time does not deviate more than +/- 2 seconds.

b.Day, month, year, time zone

Step 4 Log in to both the primary and secondary CA as root.

Step 5 Enter <hostname># date.

Step 6 On each CA ensure the following are correct:

a.The time is accurate to within +/-2 seconds of the correct time.

b.Day, month, year, time zone

Checking the OS Log of Each Host Machine

Monitor the OS logs on all four host machines (primary and secondary EMS, primary and secondary CA) for errors or warnings. This report shows you recent messages like memory hits, disk errors, and frequent process restarts.

Step 1 Log in as root.

Step 2 Enter dmesg.

Step 3 For more history edit the /var/adm/messages file.
