Troubleshooting Advanced Server Tools

11.1.1.4Open Resources

When a user uses a shared file, the file is open. Sometimes a file will be left open, perhaps even with a lock on it, because of an application program error or some other problem. Such files will remain open and unavailable to other users. Administrators can close these files.

ÊTo close an open resource from a Windows NT computer or a Windows client computer using Server Manager

1.Start Server Manager.

2.Select the Advanced Server about which you want to view data.

3.Click on the IN USE button.

4.Highlight the open resource and select the Close Resource button.

You also can close an open resource by using the net file command at the Advanced Server command prompt.

11.1.1.5Print Subsystem Event Logging

Advanced Server maintains a separate print log for each printer share and each UNIX system printer it uses. These log files record any message generated because of a printer fault or print job error.

An administrator should check these log files periodically to determine whether any such errors are occurring. The logs can be accessed from a client computer by linking to the PRINTLOG shared resource.

The logs also can be accessed from the server. They are in the following directory:

/var/opt/lanman/shares/printlog.

11.1.1.6Remote Monitoring of Server

Advanced Server provides an SNMP-compliant monitoring service that can be used to monitor Advanced Servers from remote locations.

If you are an administrator involved with an Advanced Server network that spans multiple locations, you may want to take advantage of this service.
