Maintenance of NEC Express5800/ft series

The server maintenance can be done in two ways; one is to use NEC ESMPRO Manager for remote maintenance and the other is to use the NEC ESMPRO Agent Server Maintenance Utility on the server for local maintenance.

TIPS:

„How to start NEC ESMPRO Agent Server Maintenance Utility that is installed on NEC Express5800/ft series server

1.Go to the installation destination of NEC ESMPRO Agent.

The default installation destination of NEC ESMPRO Agent is /opt/nec/esmpro_sa. Here, the destination is assumed to be /opt/nec/esmpro_sa.

2.Go to the storage location of Server Maintenance Utility: cd bin

3.Start the tool:

./svmtnutl

„For using the Server Maintenance Utility in Japanese, run the command below before starting it. This command starts X Window and the screen will be displayed in the Japanese fonts.

init 5

If you star the Server Maintenance Utility without starting the X Window, messages displayed on the console may affect the screen display. If the screen is not displayed properly, press Ctrl + L to refresh the screen.

The maintenance functions that can be executed from NEC ESMPRO include three types, those common to all components, those specific to particular components, and general system settings.

The maintenance functions common to all components are operated in the same way basically (the operation procedure and typical examples of screen images are described below).

The table below lists the maintenance functions common to all components.
