Yes printenv should capture the settings from a running unit. It is nonintrusive, so it is safe to run an a "live' unit, to the best of my knowledge. -----Original Message----- From: Stan Brown [mailto:stanb@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joseph M.

However I cannot find any manual that shows/explains the choices. But what I am asking is can I read (printenv) the NVRAM parameters/configuration on a running AW (without shutting it down, stop a)? I need to know the NVRAM parameters/configuration on all of the running AWs before they fail, but I cannot shut them down to do it... Joseph M.

Given a working machine there really are not all that many things to change, although some of them are a bit long (path names). -----Original Message----- From: Stan Brown [mailto:stanb@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joseph M. Riccardi Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2014 01:06 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] rcopy, rmount on AW51D very slow Tom, Your comment about the NVRAM battery has me wondering if that is the problem I am having with this AW51E I just restored. Everything goes well until I powered down and tried to reboot. That is when I get the error "Can't open boot device". And I remember in the past that when the NVRAM battery died, the symptoms were always that the hard drive failed. Is this correct about the symptom and the error message; are they related to a dead NVRAM battery? This now generates another question... Is there any other way to get the NVRAM configuration besides Stop A... printenv? Can I get them from a running AW without shutting it down? Once the AW51 dies from a dead NVRAM battery, and the box is replaced, it's too late to get the old NVRAM parameters then... The UNIX Gods have not been kind to me these last 2 weeks...

We never figured > out why but I can almost guarantee that rebooting 04AW01 will solve the problem. If you let Duc know you are going to reboot it he will probably come in free of charge because he wants the Sun boxes to run forever. It pains him so to reset the uptime counter to 0 days;<). He also knows that the NVRAM battery may be dead and the box may not be able to reboot. That creates an even more serious issue that will probably result in you paying Duc whatever price he demands;<) > > Tom VandeWater > Control Conversions, Inc. > >> On Feb 12, 2014, at 1:06 PM, Duc M Do <duc@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> My answering the phone at Duc's Technical Support will cost you 3.99 >> a minute. >> Duc >> >> >>> On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 11:01 AM, <dave.caldwell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> >>> All Knowing List, >>> >>> I have an AW51D(04AW01) that is extremely slow to rmount from any >>> another AW (or to respond to commands across the remote connection >>> once rmounted). >>> The rmount takes about 5 minutes, as does the ls -l, cp, etc... >>> >>> I can rmount other AW file systems to 04AW01 no problem-- just very >>> slow when others rmount 04AW01. >>> >>> Ping, telnet, diplays, icc, etc. are all good. >>> >>> I checked disk usage on the AW in question and it looked good. >>> >>> I noticed many processes belonging to /usr/fox/exten/urfs_xserver -m >>> /etc/fox/dsamap and one for urfs_om_daemon. >>> My limited understanding is that these processes govern the remote >>> file system. >>> I did not attempt to kill or restart any processes, but was tempted. >>> >>> Lastly, I'd like to do as my friend Duc suggests and avoid rebooting >>> this box (answer your phone Duc). >>> >>> Any ideas??? >>> Thanks, >>> Dave >> >> >> >> >> _____________________________________________________________________ >> _ _ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys >> Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
