I can answer some of these: I'm not sure how well this will show up on the
mailing list, but I've used different fonts for the answers and questions.
1. What is an I/A Series Host?
There are two host types in the I/A Series:
* Boot hosts which are required by Control Stations (CP, DI, GW, etc.)
* Logical hosts which are required by WPs and the "WP-side" of an AW.
Boot hosts are those AW/APs which supply the configuration
information to a control station when it reboots. All I/A Series Control
Stations require a boot host. There is one and only one boot host per
Control Station.
Logical hosts are AWs/APs to which the WP looks for files if the
file is not found locally. It is also the machine to which the WP looks for
its Alarm History display.
a. How to know among many AWs on the same LAN Which AW-Node is a HOST ?
Any AW/AP can be a host. The file /usr/fox/sp/sldb indicates which
AW/AP is the boot host for a given control station. It contains four
columns:
Column 1 is the name (letterbug) of a station
Column 2 is the letterbug of the station's host
Column 3 is the letterbug of the station hosting the System Monitor
that monitors the control station
Column 4 is the System Monitor that monitors the health of the
station
b. Is it possible to have on the same node there can be more than one
HOST? i.e. One AW is a HOST for three AWs and another 2nd AW is HOST for
another five AW ?
Any given station has exactly one host.
AW/APs can be boot hosts to Control Stations
AW/APs can be logical hosts to WPs and "WP-side" of AWs.
Typically, AWs are their own logical host.
c. And all are on the same LAN?
A host (either type) must be on the same control network (CB LAN) as
the station it hosts. The host and the hosted station do not have to be on
the same Nodebus however.
d. How to define and where to define and where to define which is HOST?
The SysDef program is used to define all hosts.
2. Command to know the MAC address of AW
The ifconfig command (ifconfig -a) will provide this. The IP address
follows the word 'ether'.
3. Command to know the MHz of AW
/usr/sbin/psrinfo -v
will provide the information you want.
4. Command to know the Memory of AW
/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep bytes
will provide the information you want.
/usr/sbin/prtconf provides a lot more useful information.
5. Command to know the Last Dump Date of AW
List the file /etc/dumpdates.
6. Command to know the Current value of all the Analog Tags on
particular station
The best way is to record the data in the historian and use one of
the client tools like DataLink or I/A Series Report Writer.
The alternative is to use the tool 'getpars' in the directory
/opt/fox/bin/tools. There is a .man file there than can be read, but more
information is available in I/A Series Software Utilities [B0193JB/Rev D]
You should be very judicious in the use of this command since it can
place quite a burden on the Control Stations and the network if your query
is too broad.
7. Command to know the IP Address of AW
The ifconfig command (ifconfig -a) will provide this. The IP address
follows the word 'inet'. The Nodebus Ethernet port is going to be le0 or
hme0. The "2nd (and later)" Ethernet port will have 1, 2, or 3 in place of
the 0.
8. Command so that while rlogin it does not require password.
Read the man page on rhosts. Basically, you add the name of the
trusted station to /.rhosts for the I/A Series.
9. Path ,Location for the password of FoxAnalyst
I don't know this one
10. Command to have default Display Manager/Foxview
Once FV is installed, there is a directory called /opt/fox/wp/bin.
In this directory is the file default_dm. You can choose either the DM or FV
by changing this file:
DM: cp /usr/fox/bin/dm_wp50 /opt/fox/wp/bin/default_dm
FV: cp /opt/fox/wp/FoxView/foxview /opt/fox/wp/bin/default_dm
Subsequent reboots will start the new default DM.
11. Path Location of all the Quick Fixes loaded.
The location of a QF is entirely dependent on the files being
installed. However, a list of QFs installed in you system can be found in
/usr/fox/sp/lastinst/QF_INFO. The documentation for each QF lists all of the
installed files.
