Task 6: Create a Baseline Report of the System Configuration

The sys_check utility is a data collection tool that is used to diagnose system errors and problems. Use the sys_check utility now to create a baseline report of the system configuration (software and hardware).

The sys_check utility collects configuration data only for the node on which it is run unless you set and export the SYS_CHECK_SYSWIDE variable, which collects configuration data for all nodes in the HP XC system.

Use the following commands to invoke the sys_check utility in its simplest form:

# export SYS_CHECK_SYSWIDE=1
# sys_check > /tmp/filename.html

By default, the sys_check utility creates the report in HTML format, but there is an option to create a text version. You can redirect the output of the sys_check report to the directory and file name of your choice.

For more information about this utility and its options, see the HP XC System Software Administration Guide and sys_check(8) .
