This concise guide to Unix fault management covers the essential procedures for the daily fault management of Unix systems. The book's focus is on the types of events that can be received; how they are detected; how operator administrators receive event notifications; how problems can be investigated; and how recovery can be performed. The authors provide a solid reference on troubleshooting problems and answer questions concerning mail servers, full systems, congested and failed networks, and NIS/NFS. The book describes fault monitoring tools and techniques available for Unix single systems and high availability clusters, with an emphasis on tools for Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX machines, but providing enough general information to apply to all Unix systems.
