Post Reboot Procedures

(A1) What to check after each Reboot (VMS)

    This is for MVG, but much of this applies to other VMS systems also,

     (a) log-in as system

     (b) Make sure the rest of the cluster is booted Ok:

         $ show cluster

         It should list seven machines, all with the status of "Member"
         The seven machines are: MVF, MVC, MEI, SIM, FELIX, MVG and VS.

     (c) Make sure all disks are mounted:

         $ show dev dk
         $ show dev du

         On MVG, every disk should be mounted except mvg$dka200:, mvg$dka400:
         and felix$dua0:

         If any other disk is not mounted, then mount it as follows:
         (using the example of vs$dka100:

         $ dism vs$dka100:
         $ mount/sys vs$dka100: vsdisk2

         (to determine the volume label, if you don't know it, log onto
          the machine that the disk belongs with - VS in our example - and
          use the "$ show dev dk" and "$ show dev du" commands)

     (d) Make sure the queues are started properly.

         $ show queue/all

         Note: On MVG it is normal for the queues HP7550 and Laser2 to
               be in a "stopped" state. The queues that should be "idle"
               include Laser3, Laser8, Laser9, Laser10, Laser11 and mvg$batch
         If the queues are not running OK then follow the steps in the
         separate note on how to start printer queues.

     (e) Make sure the mail system is running properly: (MVG only)

         The best way to test this is to send yourself a mail to another
         address (e.g. ...@facsatff.wisc.edu) from which you have forwarding
         set to ...@physiology.wisc.edu. The mail should then come back to
         you within a few seconds. This verifies both outgoing and incoming
         mail. Do a "$ show sys" and make sure there is a process named
         "IUPOP3 server" in the list.

         If there are any mail problems, do a "$ show sys" and confirm
         that the following processes are in the list:

            MX FLQ Manager
            MX Router
            MX Local
            MX SMTP
            MX SMTP Server
            MX MLF

         If some of these are missing, then reboot MVG.

     (f) Do a "Show sys" and make sure the process named UCX$BIND is running.

     (g) Confirm that Appletalk/Appleshare server is running (on MVG and MVF)
         by the following:

         $ admin/msa
           > show vol

         This should show about 10 volumes in a "MNT" state.

    Note: If one or more of the above don't seem right (or if users complain
          about mail access problems etc.) simply reboot MVG and watch
          the console while it is booting.
