Managed Systems Configuration Guide
Chapter 13: OpenVMS Server Configuration
OpenVMS TCP/IP HOSTS database. It is defined correctly by default, but it can be removed, which
causes WEBES to fail.
Enter the following command:
$ TCPIP SHOW HOST /LOCAL
Look for LOCALHOST, which should have an IP address of 127.0.0.1. If LOCALHOST does not
appear in the list, enter the following command:
$ TCPIP SET HOST LOCALHOST /ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 /ALIAS=LOCALHOST
Enter a ping command to verify that LOCALHOST was added:
$ TCPIP PING LOCALHOST
PING LOCALHOST (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0 ms
After verifying that LOCALHOST responds to the ping command, you can use Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Y to stop
pinging.
l System firmware: The prerequisite system firmware supports the logging of events according to the
FRU Table Version 5 Specification, which is required for WEBES FRU configuration tree processing.
All DSxx and ES40 systems must have firmware V5.7–4 or higher.
All other products supported by System Event Analyzer (see the WEBES Release Notes) shipped with
a firmware version already compatible with WEBES/SEA processing.
In general, users should take advantage of the latest improvements by obtaining the most recent
firmware version available for their platforms.
