problem is faulty memory, controllers and/or disks. If you find an SFS volume with inconsistencies, be sure
to inspect your hardware, following the procedures in the hardware manual included in your package.
If you have no SFS volume on the dri ve an d the re is r oom for one , you have the option to create one. If there

# The # character is used to begin a comment in many files. See comment.
approve Use the approve command to test the access control configuration. It reports the success
(approval) or failure (disapproval) of the access request indicated by the arguments.
Examples:
approve files /vol17 a client
approve print * 192.3.4.5
attach Use the attach command to explicitly establish device configuration information. It may be
used when auto configuration procedure makes a mistake.
cat Use the cat command to view the contents of a file.
chkdsk Use the chkdsk DOS command to inspect for inconsistencies and errors in DOS volumes.
control Use the control command to examine or change device parameters. It is similar to the DOS
mode command or the UNIX
Usage:

stty command.
With just a device name, the control command reports the current parameters for the de vice.
With one or mor e ar g=value ar g uments, the de vice para meter(s) c hange an d the paramet ers are
reported.
crashlocks The crashlocks command causes the file lock manager to restart as though the server were
just rebooted. The prima ry r ea son to use
crashlocks is when a network client crashes wit hout
releasing the file locks it holds.
df The df command reports the file volumes, size and amount of free space.
disk Use the disk command to examine or change the partition table information. With no argu-
ments, the
disk command gives a list of the disk drives on the system.

echo The echo command simply shows its arguments. It is usually used in command scripts to
report progress.
Example:
echo hello world
echo this is a longer message
exit The exit command causes the command line interpreter to stop processing commands. When
the
exit command is used from a command s cript, t he r emainder of the s cript is ignor ed. When
used from a remote (T e lnet) connect ion, the connecti on is closed. When used from the co nsole,
exit command is effectively ignored.
the
fsck The fsck command performs consistency checks on the SFS volumes named by the argu-
ments. The
fsck command may take a very long time depending on how many f il es are on t he
volume. Any inconsistencies are reported, and you are asked whether or not to make repairs.
The
fsck command does not inspect DOS volumes; use the chkdsk command under DOS.

• a host name (e.g., aclient) which must be present in the hosts file
• an Internet address (e.g., 192.3.4.5)
• a wildcard that matches a host name or address (e.g., acl*, 192.3.4.*)
• an @ followed by a host group name (e.g., @general, @trusted); see
hostgrps for details
A hostname/addr argument may be a host name (e.g., a client), or a hos t I nterne t addre ss (e.g.,
192.3.4.5). Wildcards may not be used. Each hostname/addr argument is tested for whether it
matches the hostpatn argument, and the results are shown.
Usage:
hostmatch hostpatn hostname/addr …
keymon The keymon command reports the exact codes receive d for eac h key you press. Keymon con-
tinues to report on keys until the stopchar is used. The purpose of keymon is to aid in troubleshooting TELNET access, since different client TELNET programs map keys differently —
especially line endings. For example, some TELNET programs send CR LF line endings,
some send CR NUL line endings, and there may be other line ending sequences.
38
Each code is reported wit h a single outpu t line of the form:
[M-][C-]x 0xhh
where:
M if the high (0x80 ) bit is set
C if the code is a cont rol character
x the base character of the code
0xhh the hexadecimal value for the code
For example, CR LF results in the output lines:
C-M 0x0D
C-J 0x0A
Usage: keymon stopchar
Example: keymon X
keymon Q
Commands
locks The locks command reports the current file locks held by network clients. The actual name of
the file on which locks are held is not available. Instead, the volume name and node number
are reported, which should help you identify the actual file. Every attempt is made to identify
the lock owner as a process ID on a particular client.
Usage:

Usage:
nfsunmount localname
Example: nfsunmount /xsvol
See nfsmount.
nfsmount Use the nfsmount command to inspect, establish or change an NFS volume.
The main purpose for establishing an NFS mount is to enable the backup system to access
remote files and directories. Once the NFS mount is established, the remote files appear to the
backup system as local and are remembered by the server using variables (see
ables have the format:
nfsvol. localname. parameter=value.
Use the menu, or the nfsunmount command to remove an established NFS mount.

40
You must provide three essential parameters:
• a short local name (localname) by which the backup system may identify the volume.
• the name or Internet address of the remote system on which the files reside.
• the name of the appropriate directory on the remote system (server:path).
You may also specify options for the NFS mount at the time the mount is established (e.g.,
when server:path is given). Or you may modify the options by giving the local name and the
new value for the option.
rsize The size of read requests in bytes, between 512 and 8192. Must be an even multiple
of 512. Default: rsize=8192.
wsize The size of write requests, between 512 and 8192. Must be an even multiple of 512.
Default: wsize=8192.
timeout The number of seconds to wait between retries. Default: timeout=2.
tries The maximum number of retries before giving up on the remote server. Default:
retries=5.
Commands
perm The permission this server may allow itself for accessing remote files. This may be
for read-only access, in which case this server will make no attempt to create or
modify files on the remote server. Or it may be rw for read-write access, in which
case this se rver may create or modify file s. In order to restore files from tape to the
remote server, this must be set to
rw. Default: perm=rw.
During backup, the files and directories are read using user ID 0 (root). Make sure the remote
system will allow your «upperCaseProduct» root access so that all files and directories can be
backed up. Otherwise, an access violation might occur, preventing the backup. On UNIX systems, see file /etc/exports and possibly the exportfs(1) command. On remote «upperCaseProduct» systems, simply ente r t his «upperCaseProduct» ho st as a trusted host usin g menu i t em

ratecpu The ratecpu command runs a series of CPU int ensive opera tions , and t hen re ports the sec onds
required to complete the series. This may be used to compare the CPU performance of different hardware platforms. The
ratecpu command seizes the system, and should only be run
when the server is not being used by network clients.
Usage:
ratecpu
ratemem The ratemem command runs a series o f memor y i nt ensive operations, and then reports the sec -
onds required to complete the series. This may be used to compare the memory perfo rmance of
different hardware platforms. The
ratemem command seizes the system, and should only be
run when the server is not being used by network clients.
Usage:
ratemem
ratenet The ratenet command sends packets to another network host, and then reports the time
required.
42
Commands
The packets sent are the same as the ping command (ICMP protocol). Nsend is the number of
packets to send; the de fault is one. Size is the size i n bytes o f each packe t sent; t he default is 56
bytes. Maxfail is the maximum number of retries for the entire test; the default is three.
Usage:
ratenet hostname/addr [ nsend [ size [ maxfail ] ] ]
Example: ratenet aclient

ratenet other 100 1200
ratenet 192.3.4.5 5 56 10
rateread The rateread command reads the entire contents of file filename from disk, and then reports
the time and speed of the operation. This may be used as a basic test of server operations, or
may be used to evaluate different disk d rives. Filename must already exist, and must be the
true pathname of the file; wildcards may not be used.
Blocksize is the size in bytes of each read request. The default
blocksize is 8192 bytes.
Note that «upperCaseProduct» caches files in memory in case they are accessed again. If you
use rateread on a fi le t wice , the second pe rforma nce i s muc h fas te r tha n the fir st. Th e o nly way
to force rateread to access disk is to use a file that is larger than your system’s memory, or to
use several files that together are larger than your system’s memory.
Usage:
rateread filename [ blocksize ]
Example: rateread $bootdir/netserve.img
rateread $bootdir/netserve.img 512
rateread /vol7/big-huge-file 16384
ratewrite The ratewrite command crea tes file fi lename on disk, wri tes totalk b kilo-byte s of random data
to the file, and then reports the time and speed of the operation. This may be used as a basic
test of server operations, or may be used to evaluate different disk drives.
Totalkb is the total size of the file to be written given in 1024 byte un its. For example, a totalkb
of 256 would result in a file that is 262144 bytes in size. Blocksize is the size in bytes of each
write request. The default blocksize is 8192 bytes.
Usage:
ratewrite filename totalkb [ blocksize ]
Example: ratewrite $bootdir/testfile 256
ratewrite $bootdir/testfile 256 8192
ratewrite /vol7/1meg-file 1024

• each volume’s backup status, size, and free space
43
Managing the HP NetStorage 6000 Using Telnet
• the network parameters
• the timezone parameter s
• the modem and printer configuration
When used with no argument, the information is displayed directly to the user. When given a
file argument, the information is stored into the named file. When given a printer argument,
the information is queued for the named printer. The presence of a / character indicates that the
argument is a file name rather than a printer name.
Usage:
report [ file| printer]
Example: report
report ps1
report $bootdir/report.out
revoke The revoke command deletes the remote NFS mount information for each host given. It can
be used to clean up mounts that are no longer in use when the client can not do so.

Commands
Usage: set varname value
Example: set hostname server10
set inet.addr 192.3.4.100
show The show command gives the names and value s of variables. W ith no varname/patn a rgument,
show gives the names and values of all variables.
The varname/patn arguments may be a variable name (e.g., hostname), or a wildcard that
matches multiple names (e.g., com?.name, inet.*).
Usage:
show [ varname/patn … ]
Example: show
show com1.*
show *.ptype
show *dir*
shutdown The shutdown command initiates a procedure that stops the server in an orderly fashion and
then reboots the computer.
Usage:
shutdown
source The source command reads and executes commands from filename. By saving commonly
used command sequences in a file, you can use the
Usage:
source filename
source command to execute the sequence.
Example: source $bootdir/myscript.ncf
source /vol7/scripts/quickinfo.ncf
status The status command inspects low-level serve r status info rmation. The what ar guments , if any,
specify what status information is reported:
hi Hardware interrupt counts
si Software interrupt counts
ai Address space informatio n, including m emory utilization
ti Thread status information
dm Device manager information
fs File system information including size, free space, and activity
rm Remote mount information, including the mounting client, the directory pathname
mounted, and activity
up Uptime, how long since the server was last started
all All of the above.
With no arguments, thread status is reported.

tar The tar command is used to manipulate tape archives. The first letter of mode must be one of:
c Create a new archive containing directories. Archives created with this mode are writ-
ten in the traditional tar format, and are easily imported and exported by many different systems.
F Make full backup of directories, the file.bdl argument is required. Archives created
with this mode are also written in the traditional format. After the archive is complete,
a list of directories and identifying information for each directory is written to file.bdl
.bdl stands for backup directory list). A timestamp is als o written which indicates the
(
time of the full backup.
P Make partial backup of directories, the file.bdl argument is required. Archives created
with his mode contain non-traditional information. Files older than the timestamp in
file.bdl are included in the archive. As each directory is encountered, file.bdl is
checked to make sure the identifying information is the same. If not, all files and directories beneath the encoun tered directory are included in th e archive. A file list for each
directory is also put in the new archive; these are called dumpdir records. File.bdl is
left unchanged.
R Restore directories from the arch i ve, al l files and direct or ies i f no d irectory arguments
are given. As files are restored from tape, their modification time, UID and GID ownerships, and permission bits are also restored. When dumpdir records (see
P option
above) are encountered, the directory on disk is examined. Any files in the directory
that are not in the file list are removed .
t Table of contents ( list) of archive, all file s and direc tories if no director y arg uments are
given.
x Extract directories from archive, all files and directories if no directory arguments are
given. As files are restored from tape, their modification time, UID and GID ownerships, and permission bits are also restored. Dumpdir records (see P option above) are
ignored.
mode may then contain parameter and option key letters. The ARG-fbLVC arguments must
be given in the same order as the parameters options:
b Specifies the block size in 512-byte records (default 20).
C Specifies a dir ectory pa th prefi x. Disk file s are named pr efix/su bpath, but t ape file s are
named subpath (no default). The
C argument is used to effectively “change directory”
before reading or writing the archive.
f Specifies the file/device name of the archive (default $tape).
46
Commands
L Specifies the length of the tape in megabytes. This also enables multi-tape archives
(default 0, not multi-tape). This option only has effect when creating a new archive
with one of the
c, F, or P modes. Most multi-volume tar commands sense the end-of-
tape based on write errors, but this tar does not. Files are not spli t ac ros s m ult iple tape
volumes. When a fi le wi ll n ot fi t on th e curr ent ta pe (ba sed on t he fi le si ze a nd the t ape
size), the current tape ends and the next tape is requested. When reading a tape with
one of the

V Specifies a volume label to be written new archives (no default). This option only has
effect when creat ing an arc hiv e with one of th e
R, t, or x modes, a volume label record (see V below) with the name —

c, F, or P modes. Non-traditional infor-
mation is written to the new archive. The first record of each tape of the new archive is
a volume label which contains the name given as a parameter. When both the
options are given, tar also writes volume labe l recor ds with t he name
—MORE—at the
L and V
end of all but the last tape of the tape set.
The partial backup and vol ume label f eatures u se record t ypes that are compatib le with
the GNU tar command, v1.10.
Usage:
tar mode [ file.bdl [ ARG-bCfLV … ] [ directory … ]
Example: tar cvfLVC aha1t50 40 XFER0821 /vol7/products src doc bin
tar xvC /vol6/from-dave games
tar FLV $bootdir/vol7.bdl 2000 Aug08 /vol7
tar PLV $bootdir/vol7.bdl 2000 Aug10 /vol7
telnet The telnet command establishes a terminal connection with remote system \f2hostname/addr.
It is primarily used during administration to make sure the remote s yst em i s pr ope rly prepared
to interact with \*(Ns. For example, to make sure that «upperCaseProduct» host name and
address are known to the remote system, or to make sure that «upperCaseProduct» has the
trusted access rights necessary for backup.
The best way to terminat e the co nnection is to exit from th e remote s ystem, which should cl ose
the connection and return to the «upperCaseProduct» command prompt. The key Control-_
(simultaneously press and hold the control and shift keys, and then press the underscore key)
also breaks the connection.
The telnet terminal emulat or is ve ry ba sic, but can support screen ed it ors (like the UNIX vi(1)
command). Try these terminal types: vt100-am, vt100, ansi, pcansi, xterm, vt52.
Usage:
telnet hostname/addr
Example: telnet ahost
telnet 192.3.4.10
unset The unset command deletes variables. The varname/patn arguments may be a variable name
(e.g., hostname), or a wildcard that matches multiple names (e.g., com?.name, inet.*).
Usage:
unset varname/patn …
Example: unset lpt1.soj
unset com1.*

uptime The uptime command reports how lon g the s erver has be en runnin g, the curre nt ti me of day i n
24-hour format, and the recent CPU utilization.
Usage:
uptime
userlook The userlook command is used to verify that the passwd file is correct.
Each username/uid argument is looked up in the passwd file, and the results of the lookup are
reported. A username/uid argument may be a user’s login (e.g., fred, jjsmith), or a user’s UID
(e.g., 211, 1047). Wildcards may not be used.
Usage:
userlook username/uid …
Example: userlook fred
userlook 1011
userlook nobody nosuch
version The version command reports the product name, release level, part number, and serial number
of the «upperCaseProduct» software.
Usage:
version
