Installation guide

Using the RSN Software
6-8 Fault Tolerant System Administration (R1004H) HP-UX version 11.00.03
Sending Mail to the HUB
The mntreq command is an interactive utility that lets you communicate with the
supporting Stratus HUB. mntreq provides three subcommands, addcall,
updatecall, and mail. For information about using the addcall and
updatecall subcommands, see the mntreq(1M) man page.
NOTE
To use the mntreq command, the directory
/var/stratus/rsn/queues/mntreq.d must exist. If it does not, an
error message will appear when you try to use mntreq. To correct this
error, log in as root and create this directory (using mkdir).
When you specify the mail subcommand, mntreq creates a message in the form
of a file and transfers the message to the supporting HUB. When you use mntreq
with the mail subcommand, it prompts you for:
■ your phone number
■ the person at the HUB who should receive the mail
■ the subject of the mail
■ the content of your message
After you have answered these prompts, the system redisplays the information
you provided and prompts you to enter the text of your message. End your
message with a period (.) on a line by itself.
The system finally prompts you to send, edit, or quit the message. A copy of the
mail message is saved in the /var/stratus/rsn/queues/mntreq.d
directory. For more information, see the mntreq(1M) man page.
Listing RSN Configuration Information
To list the configuration information contained in the RSN database, use the
list_rsn_cfg command. This is a quicker way to list information than running
the rsnadmin command and, unlike rsnadmin, does not require special
permissions. To invoke this command, enter
list_rsn_cfg | more
In this example, the output was piped to the more command because the output is
often lengthy. For more information, see the list_rsn_cfg(1M) man page.
