If one or more warnings are reported, use the analyze option to obtain an analysis of the
problem. When possible, the command output provides potential corrective action or the reasons
for a given state. For example:
# nrg --mode analyze
Nodelist Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
nh [System Event Log - NOSUCHHOST] The check_sel plug-in failed
to find the console port for this node, a common cause is the
console device cp-xxxxx, is not reachable. If this is the
head node and the head node is externally connected, you may
be able to define cp-xxxxx in /etc/hosts using the external
IP to allow connectivity. Sensor collection may not be
possible when using externally connected console ports for
head nodes on platforms that use IPMI to gather sensor
information. If this is not the head node then it may indicate
a communication problem with the associated console device
'cp-{nodename}'.
5.14 Creating a Baseline Copy of the Database
After you run the OVP to verify the successful installation and configuration of the system, HP
recommends that you take a snapshot of the configuration and management database to create
a baseline version. You can use a baseline copy of the database to restore the database to its
original state.
Enter the following command to back up the configuration and management database to a file.
If you do not specify a directory, the default location for the backup file is in the /var/hptc/
database directory. Consider adding a date and time stamp to the file name to determine at a
glance when the backup file was created. For example:
# managedb backup your_filename
Depending on your corporate security policy for managing system and database backups, consider
storing the database backup file on a remote system as an additional precaution.
The HP XC System Software Administration Guide provides information about basic database
management commands. For more information about managing the configuration and
management database, see the MySQL Reference Manual, which is available at the following
website:

5.15 Creating a Baseline Report of the System Configuration
The sys_check utility is a data collection tool you can use to diagnose system errors and
problems. Use the sys_check utility now to create a baseline report of the system configuration
(software and hardware).
The sys_check utility collects configuration data only for the node on which it is run unless
you set and export the SYS_CHECK_SYSWIDE variable, which collects configuration data for all
nodes in the HP XC system.
Use the following commands to run the sys_check utility in its simplest form:
