rdsget command

The rdsget command acquires failure information of client services.

Description

  1. Outputs failure information of client services to the standard output in the cpio format.
  2. Uses the output of the rdsget -o command as the input to acquire failure information of client services. The acquired file is restored under the current directory.

Format

  1. Outputting failure information to the standard output in the cpio format
    rdsget -o [-f identifier]
  2. Using the output result of the -o option as the input to output failure information
    rdsget -i [-t]

Options

-f identifier
Specifies specific information to be output with the -o option. Use this option when the storage device to store failure information is small. If you omit the f option, all the information is output.

identifier
base:Acquires failure information of client services.
Detail:Acquires detailed failure information which is not acquired with base other than communication-related information.
tcp_ip:Acquires settings information of TCP/IP.

-i
Uses the output of the rdsget -o command as the input to acquire failure information of client services. The acquired file is restored under the current directory.

-o
Outputs failure information of client services to the standard output in the cpio format.

-t
Uses the file output with the -o option as the input to output only the directory information.

Example

Special file name
Specify a special file name matching with the storage device to be registered, using the absolute path starting with /dev/. For how to specify a special file name, see the operating system manual. The following lists some of special file names.
  • When using a built-in CMT
    /dev/cmt00
  • When using a DAT
    /dev/datxx (xx varies depending on the connection method or setting method.)
  • When using a built-in floptical disk
    /dev/rfpd00
  • When using a CD-ROM
    /dev/cdxx (xx varies depending on the connection method or setting method.)

How to acquire failure information

The contents of failure information and the acquiring method vary depending on the failure type. Table 12-1 shows failure information required for each code of the end status, and specifications for acquiring failure information. When you are using one of the commands to acquire failure information, if there is ample space available at the output destination, acquire all failure information without specifying identifiers.

Table 12-1 Procedures for acquiring failure information

End status Specification of identifiers UNIX machine that collects failure information

30 Storing resources into temporary collection storehouse base Relay system or end workstation
3x File transfer to managing server base Workstation to which resources are collected
4x ID group operation from managing server base Relay system
5x Reception of job file at relay system base
55 tcp_ip#1
6x Packaging resources to temporary package storehouse
Remote installation with ID group specified		 base

x: Indicates the last 4 bits of the code.
-: Not mandatory

#1
Specify tcp_ip for a UNIX managing server.

#2
When JP1/Software Distribution Client is operating in a configuration consisting of the relay system and client workstations, acquire failure information on both sides.

#3
Reference the /var/opt/NETMDMW/rdsprm/PPINS.LOGF file for HP-UX or the /NETMRDS/rdsprm/PPINS.LOGF file for other systems.
