How to check disk space: (using /var as example)



# bdf /var ## to check disk utilisation for /var filesystem

# find /var -xdev -type f -size +5000000c -exec ls -l {} \; | sort -nk 5 ## to find larger files in /var




AIX, SOLARIS, LINUX, TRU64



How to check disk space:



# df -k /var ## to check disk utilisation for /var filesystem

# find /var -xdev -type f -size +5000000c -exec ls -l {} \; | sort -nk 5 ## to find larger files in /var

Pre-checking before reboot




Capture the system details

# bdf > /tmp/bdf.txt ## For HPUX

OR

# df –k > /tmp/df.txt ## For other OS

# netstat –in > /tmp/netstat.in.txt

# netstat –rn > /tmp/netstat.rn.txt

# lanscan > /tmp/lanscan.txt ## For HPUX

# ioscan –fn > /tmp/ioscan.txt ## For HPUX

# ps –ef | grep –i sap ## Double confirm no SAP running

# ps –ef | grep –I oracle ## Double confirm no Database running





How to reboot server

Generic Process to add printer

1) Confirm details provided (such as printer queue name, IP address and model).

2) Perform initial checking:-



# ping ## Ping new printer IP address

# lpstat –o ## Verify if printer queue used up


Issue following command to create print queue.

# hppi or sam ## HP UX

# smitty ## IBM





Generic Process to modify printer:

1) Confirm details provided (such as printer queue name, IP address and model).

2) Perform initial checking:-



HPUX

# ping ## Ping new and old printer IP address

# lpstat –o ## Verify printer queue

# grep –i model /etc/lp/interface ## Check printer model

# grep –i periph /etc/lp/interface ## Check printer IP

# grep –i /etc/hosts ## Check printer IP

IBM

# Smitty


Issue following command to modify printer queue IP or model. Printer modify can be do anytime.



HPUX

# vi /etc/lp/interface ## Change network printer IP only



**To modify printer model, remove old print queue and recreate with new model.

**If print queue are remote printer, remove old print queue and recreate with new IP or model.



IBM

**Remove old print queue and recreate with new IP or model





Generic Process to delete printer:

1) Confirm details provided (such as printer queue name, IP address and model).

2) Perform initial checking:-



HPUX/IBM/SUN SOLARIS/Linus/Tru64

# ping ## Ping new and old printer IP address

# lpstat –o ## Verify printer queue



Issue following command to delete printer queue IP or model.
