Taking explorer on SUN machines

Share

If your system is a SunFire midframe server (38×0, 48×0, or 68×0 model), use this command to include data from the system console:

# /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -q -e -w default,scextended

If your system uses an alom (advanced lights out manager), some additional data can be collected. Systems that use that include:
Sun Fire V210,V240,V250,V245,V440,V440R,V445 Server Netra 240,440 (AC) Server
Use this command:

# /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -q -e -w default,alomextended

 

If your system uses T1 processors (system type starts with T, and uname -a command will say architecture is sun4v), use this command:

# /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -q -e -w default,Tx000

For any other model of Sun system, use this command:

# /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -q -e

 

The -q option suppresses printing of error messages during the run.
The -e option prevents explorer from automatically sending email.
The -w scextended option collects data from the system console (sc).

If you cannot run explorer for some reason, here are the most important things to collect:

/var/adm/messages or messages.# file for the time when the crash was taken. Be sure to include any messages that occurred just before panic.

/etc/system file

output of the showrev -p command, for a list of patches on system

Detailed hardware configuration of the system. To determine which command to use, issue the command uname -m to find the system architecture type.

If it is sun4u, send the output of this command:
/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v
If it is sun4v, send the output of this command:
/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin/prtdiag -v
Output of this command:
prtconf -vp

If your system is a SunFire midframe server (38×0, 48×0, or 68×0 model), include the output of these commands to collect data from the system console:

showlogs -v
showlogs -d showboards -v showplatform -v showenvironment -v showsc -v

    Running explorer on Solaris 10

    —————-
    Taking Explorer
    —————-
    If you want to take the Explorer of the sun machine you have to follow the following steps.
    ——
    Steps:
    ——
    1- First you have to check the Explorer is installed thorugh this command

    # pkginfo | grep SUNWexplo

    If the command shows the output then go to the next step otherwise you have to add
    the package of SUNWexplo.

    2- To take the explorer of the sun machine type the following commads

    # cd /opt/SUNWexplo/bin
    # ./explorer

    3- After the explorer ends the required file is in the OUTPUT folder

    # cd /opt/SUNWexplo/output

    4- There are two content in this folder with the name of

    “explorer..-”
    “explorer..-.tar.gz”

    the first one is the folder containing the full explorer uncompressed and the second
    one is the GunZip file of that folder.

    5- you have to get the second file with the extension of “.gz” thorugh the FTP to check the
    system state or the errors regarding the system.
