Yolanda: Here's some more info on the cs_current file and how to get it: Run: "dm_recon d" to create a device status report. This report is created only on the station cuurently acting as Device Monitor Master. METHOD 1: 3AWE01# cd /opt/fox/bin/tools glof -p DEV_MONITOR fist STA_LBUG (do it for all stations with a hard drive, until you identify the station currently as the Master) Another way to identify Dev Mon Master: 3AWE01# get_host (this is another script. It will tell you current Hosts) 2AP201 = 00006CC00032 4APB01 = 080020772F5B -- DevMon Master 4APB01 = 080020772F5B -- CSA Server 4AWB01 = Not found! 3AWD01 = 0800209FB1C1 3AWE01 = 0800208D59F5 3PWE01 = 020701142EB4 Once you identified the Device Monitor Master, create DevMon Report: 3AWE01# rlogin 4APB01 4APB01# cd /usr/fox/cs 4APB01# dm_recon d 4APB01# more cs_dm.current STATION: "3COM01": STATE: OPERATIVE TYPE: COMM10 Device: 1 " LP01" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE Device: 2 " LP02" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE Device: 3 " LP03" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE Device: 4 " LP04" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE STATION: "3COM02": STATE: FAILED TYPE: COMM10 Device: 1 " LP05" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE Device: 2 " LP06" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE Device: 3 " LP07" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE Device: 4 " TT01" TYPE: TERMINAL STATUS: FAIL PR NONE STATION: "3AWD01": STATE: OPERATIVE TYPE: WP/AW 50/51 Device: 1 "3AWPD1" TYPE: GRAPHICS STATUS: OK PR REMOTE '3AWPD2' Device: 2 ----- NOT CONFIGURED ---- Device: 3 " LP10" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE STATION: "3AWE01": STATE: OPERATIVE TYPE: WP/AW 50/51 Device: 1 "3AWPE1" TYPE: GRAPHICS STATUS: OK PR REMOTE '3AWPD1' Device: 2 ----- NOT CONFIGURED ---- Device: 3 " LP12" TYPE: PRINTER STATUS: FAIL PR NONE NOTE: Another way to create the report is by running: dm_recon t 3AWE01 This will force 3AWE01 to become the Device Monitor Master. Create the report immediately after, dm_recon d more cs_dm.current (See attached file: get_host) i've included the get_host script I use, you'll have to run chmod 777 get_host to get it to work Hope this helps, Dirk Pauwels - DCS/MOC coordinator Engineering dept.
