NAME
explorer - gather system configuration information
DESCRIPTION
What is explorer?
Explorer is a support tool used to collect pertinent data
from a system running Solaris.
Why use explorer?
Sun engineers use explorer to describe a system's configura-
tion or to troubleshoot a problem.
How does explorer collect the data?
Explorer is simply a shell script which calls a collection
of tools to get the data. If selected, explorer will tar
and compress the data and email it to Sun or to a designated
recipient.
What does explorer collect?
The explorer script calls scripts located in the
/opt/SUNWexplo/tools directory. Below is a short descrip-
tion of what each tool does.
cluster
This script collects information on Sun Cluster.
cmdline
This scripts processes additional output selected
on the command line with -f and -c.
cst
This scripts Configuration and Service Tracker
information.
disks
This script collects disk information.
emc
This script collects EMC Powerpath information.
etc
This script collects configuration files in /etc.
fru
This script collects FRU information.
init
This script collects init scripts in /etc/rc?.d.
lic
This script collects license information.
lp
This script collects printer information.
messages
This script collects messages files in /var/adm.
nbu
This script collects NetBackup information.
ndd
This script collects network information on net-
work device drivers.
netinfo
This script collects network information.
patch
This script collects patch information.
photon
This script collects information for Sun StorEdge
A5X00.
pkg
This script collects package information.
sbu
This script collects Solstice Backup information.
scextended
This script collects extended Serengeti System
Controller information. If explorer is called
with -w interactive, this script will loop prompt-
ing the user for the names and root passwords for
each SC. Otherwise, the script looks for a list
of SCs in the etc/scinput.txt file in EXP_HOME.
The format of the file is the name of the host
followed by the root password on a single line
(HOST PASSWORD).
sds
This script collects Solstice DiskSuite informa-
tion.
sf15000-ndd
This script collects network device driver infor-
mation for E15000.
sf15000-sc
This script collects System Controller information
for E15000.
sonoma
This script collects information for Sun StorEdge
A3X00.
ssa
This script collects information for SPARCstorage
Arrays.
ssp
This script script collects SSP information.
stortools
This script collects STORtools 3.x information.
sysconfig
This script collects system configuration informa-
tion.
t3
This script collects basic Sun StorEdge T3 infor-
mation.
t3extended
This script collects extended Sun StorEdge T3
information. If explorer is called with -w
interactive, this script will loop prompting the
user for the names and root passwords for each T3.
Otherwise, the script looks for a list of T3s in
the etc/t3input.txt file in EXP_HOME. The format
of the file is the name of the host followed by
the root password on a single line (HOST PASS-
WORD).
u4ft
This script collects information for Netra FT1800.
var
This script collects log and configuration files
in /var.
vtsst
This script collects SUNWvtsst log and configura-
tion files.
vxfs
This script collects Veritas information for VxFS.
vxvm
This script collects Veritas information for VxVM.
OUTPUT
What does the output of explorer look like?
By default explorer writes output to /opt/SUNWexplo/output
with the following format:
explorer.<hostid>.<hostname>-<date>
The following files and directories may be seen:
cluster/ Cluster data
cst/ CST data
disks/ Disk data
emc/ EMC Powerpath data
etc/ Files from /etc
extra/ Files and commands specified on the command line
fru/ FRUid data
init/ Init scripts
license/ License data
lp/ Printer data
messages/ Messages from /var/adm
nbu/ NetBackup data
netinfo/ Network data
patch+pkg/ Patch and package data
sbu/ Solstice Backup data
sc/ Serengeti System controller data
sf15000/ E15000 data
ssp/ SSP data
sysconfig/ System configuration data
u4ft/ FT1800 data
var/ Log data from /var
vtsst/ Log data from SUNWvtsst
EXECUTION
How to run explorer manually.
By default explorer will collect data displaying key mes-
sages with the output going to /opt/SUNWexplo/output. See
explorer(1M) for more information on the complete list of
options.
Examples
Display more messages and change where output goes
explorer -verbose -target /var/tmp
Run explorer, emailing output to a Sun engineer
explorer -myemail eng@Sun.COM
Log all commands and files collected
explorer -l /var/tmp/log
How to run explorer automatically.
At installation, the option to run explorer weekly is given.
If yes was selected, explorer puts an entry in root's cron-
tab. This can be changed with the crontab command.
Example crontab entries
Monthly at midnight on the first day of the month.
0 0 1 * * /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -e -q
Weekly at midnight on Sunday.
0 0 * * 0 /opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -e -q
Collecting extended data
Explorer will collect extended data for hosts listed in the
input files etc/scinput.txt and etc/t3input.txt. These
files have the same format HOSTNAME PASSWORD for each host
to collect extended data on a single line. Alternately,
explorer can interactively prompt the user for SCs or T3s to
collect extended data. In the interactive mode (-w interac-
tive), the extended modules will prompt the user for the
hostname and root password.
Example extended data collection (input files)
Collect storage and extended T3 data
/opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -w storage
Collect only Serengeti System Controller data
/opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -w scextended
Collect all extended data
/opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -w extended
Example extended data collection (no input files)
Collect all extended data interactively
/opt/SUNWexplo/bin/explorer -w interactive
Example input file
etc/scinput.txt
# Input file for extended data collection
# Format is HOST PASSWORD
sunfire-sc0 mypassword
# sunfire-sc1 has no password
sunfire-sc1
etc/t3input.txt
# Input file for extended data collection
# Format is HOST PASSWORD
