Maintenance of Express5800/ft series
For Express5800/ft server maintenance tasks, use the /opt/ft/bin/ftsmaint command on console of ftSys
Management Appliance. For information about using the ftsmaint command and using device path enumeration
to manage specific devices in your system, see the following sections:
4.1 ftsmaint Command
4.2 Device Path Enumeration
4.3 ftsmaint Examples
4.1
ftsmaint Command
4.1.1
Component information
ftsmaint ls path
This command displays the status of the hardware specified by the enumerated path. Specifying a path displays
a detailed status of the hardware at that path.
Omitting the
path
argument displays a less-detailed table of all fault-tolerant devices on the system. Refer to
Chapter 1 (4.2 Device Path Enumeration)
for more information.
Output from ftsmaint ls
path
reflects what the management software reports about the state of a given
component. Because of system latency, this may not reflect the immediate state of the device.
To verify the actual state of the device, check the state of its LED.
Note
Running this command may fail if the necessary process does not run immediately after the
system startup. In this case, wait for a while (several minutes or so), and try again.
