  The Platform Console Manager (PCM) is a character cell application that
  provides access to the consoles of subpartitions, or systems, managed by
  AMS.

  You can use the Platform Console Manager over a low bandwidth connection
  such as Telnet to connect to the platform's management port, connect to
  consoles, view the status of each console, and view the console's log
  files.  You can also monitor the latest console output from the managed
  systems in a continuously updated, time-stamped list located in the Plat-
  form Console Manager main window.

  The Console Management Facility (CMF) ddaaeemmoonn, cmfd, provides the Platform
  Console Manager access to the consoles and logs console output; it logs all
  console sessions by default.	See cmfd(8) for more information.

  You must be rroooott or a member of the amsuser group on the AlphaServer
  Management Station (AMS) machine to run Platform Console Manager.

  To manage a system from the Platform Console Manager (PCM), you must add it
  to the PCM's list of systems.	 When you add a platform or console, the
  changes are updated dynamically in the Platform Console Manager main win-
  dow.

  You can only add a console to a platform that is in the PCM's list of sys-
  tems.

  It is recommended that you give the console the same name as that of the
  operating system running on it.

  To add a platform to the PCM:

   11..  Select CCoonnffiigguurree...... to open the Configure dialog box.

  There can be only one exclusive connection to a console open at a time.
  You cannot connect to a console if another user has established an
  exclusive connection to it.

  You can clear a console (that is, disconnect users) from the Platform Con-
  sole Manager, but you should do this with caution and only as a last
  resort.  Clearing the console closes the TTeellnneett connection to it and closes
  any applications that may be running by a user, which could result in the
  loss of unsaved data.

  It is important to terminate the Telnet session when you are finished since

  You can connect to the console of a managed system in the Platform Console
  Manager main window.

  The Telnet session connects through the cmfd daemon to a specific system's
  console.  The cmfd daemon logs each Telnet session.

  There can be only one connection to a console open at a time.	 If a connec-
  tion to a console is already established by another user, you will not be
  able to connect to the console.

  You can clear a console (that is, disconnect its users) from the Platform
  Console Manager, but you should do this with caution and only as a last
  resort.  Clearing the console closes the Telnet connection to it and closes
  any applications that may be running by a user, which could result in the
  loss of unsaved data.

  It is important to terminate the Telnet session when you are finished since
  the port will not be accessible while the session is in progress.

  To connect to a console:

       tteemmss.

   22..  Select CCoonnnneecctt......

       A dialog box opens if the selected console is on an ES47, ES80, or
       GS1280 series platform and if its status is REFUSED.  Select OOKK to
       disconnect the current user of that console and proceed with the con-
       nection attempt; otherwise, select CCaanncceell to terminate the connection
       attempt.

  The Connect dialog box opens.

   33..  Choose the correct mode, as follows.

       Shared (SH)
		 Allows multiple users to write to, and read from, the con-
		 sole.

       Read Only (RO)
		 Allows multiple users to read from the console, but not
		 write to it.

       Exclusive (EX)
		 Allows only one user to connect to a console at a time.

   44..  Select OOKK.

       The Telnet session starts.  Press [[RReettuurrnn]] until you see the console
       prompt.

       Either the ffiirrmmwwaarree prompt (>>>) displays if no operating system is
       installed, or the operating system's login prompt displays.

  You can determine a console's status in the LLiisstt ooff SSyysstteemmss located in the
  top of the Platform Console Manager main window.  For example, if a console
  has a status of IInn uussee ((EEXX)), you can find which user is connected to it and
  ask them to disconnect, or you can clear the console line.

  The different status labels indicate the following:

  Open	    A connection has been established to a console and it is avail-
	    able to be used from Platform Console Manager.

  In use (RO)
	    A connection has been established; all the users connected to the
	    console are in Read-Only mode.

  In use (SH)
	    A connection has been established; there is at least one user
	    connected to the console in Shared mode and there may be others
	    in Read-Only mode.

  In use (EX)
	    A connection has been established; there is one user connected to
	    the console in Exclusive mode and there may be others in Shared
	    mode.  No other Shared or Exclusive connections are permitted.

  Refused   The connection is refused because either the port is currently in
	    use by some process other than the cmfd daemon or an invalid port
	    number was used.

  Disabled  The connection was disabled intentionally.

  Inaccessible
	    The cmfd daemon  cannot connect to the console.

  Unknown   A connection cannot be made because the cmfd daemon is stopped or
	    unresponsive.

	    You can restart the cmfd daemon.  See Restarting the cmfd Daemon

  An Event Definition File contains individual search patterns and their
  associated priorities; these patterns	 are compared to console output.  An
  eevveenntt is generated if a pattern is matched and its pprriioorriittyy is within a
  given range.

  You can maintain individual Event Definition Files for platforms or con-
  soles.  Their correspondence is assigned in the Configure: Add/Modify Plat-
  form and Configure: Add/Modify Console dialog boxes.

  There are three distinct methods for creating an Event Definition File:

    oo++  Entering the event definitions one at a time.

    oo++  Import all the event definitions from an existing event definition
       file.

    oo++  Using a combination of these methods.

       The Create Event Definition File: Add dialog box opens.	This dialog
       box allows you to enter an event definition, which consists of a pat-
       tern, a priority, and a case sensitivity specification.

   55..  Enter a regular expression in the PPaatttteerrnn:: field.

       When the console output is examined and if this pattern is found, then
       an event is generated, so long as the priority is within the range
       500-700.

       See the grep(1) reference page for more information on regular expres-
       sions.

   66..  Enter a numeric value from 100 to 700 in the PPrriioorriittyy:: field.

       Use the following to determine the priority you want to assign:

       100 to 499
		 No event is generated.

       500 to 599
		 Event is generated when the pattern matches console output,
		 but no email is sent to root on the AlphaServer Management
		 Station (AMS) machine.

       600 to 700
		 Event is generated when the pattern matches console output
		 and email is sent to root on the AMS machine.

   77..  Set CCaassee SSeennssiittiivvee as needed to indicate whether or not the pattern
       match should be case sensitive.

   88..  Select AAppppllyy to repeat the previous three steps for subsequent event

  Use the Platform Console Manager to generate Event Manager ( EEVVMM) events
  from console messages.

  To generate eevveennttss from console messages:

   11..  Decide on the console messages you want to generate into an event.
       For example, you may want to be notified when a system crash has
       occurred.

   22..  Decide on the priority for each of these messages:

       100 to 499
		 No event is generated.

       500 to 599
		 An event is generated.

       600 to 700
		 An event is generated and email is sent to root on the
		 AlphaServer Management Station (AMS) machine.

   33..  Incorporate this information into an Event Definition File.  This file
       contains the text of the console message (as a regular expression) and
       the priority.  For example, enter *crash* and enter a priority of 700.
       When the Platform Console Manager encounters a console message that
       contains the string crash, it generates an event with a priority of
       700, and sends email to root on the AMS machine.

       See Creating an Event Definition File for the procedure for creating
       the Event Definition File.

   44..  Assign the Event Definition File	 when adding a platform or a console.
       Because you have the ability to create Event Definition Files, you can
       customize them for individual ports, as needed.

   55..  Ensure that the console's EEnnaabbllee ccoonnssoollee aacccceessss, LLoogg ccoonnssoollee oouuttppuutt,

       the Configure: Add/Modify Console dialog box to verify these settings.

  After you configure the Platform Console Manager to generate events, you
  can view the events that match your filter by opening the Event Viewer from
  the Platform Console Manager's Events dialog box.  See Evm(5) and the Event
  Viewer's online help for more information.

  You also can use EVM to notify you when interesting events occur.  EVM can
  display notifications on screen, in email messages, or in pager messages.

  See the AlphaServer Management Station guide and the System Administration
  guide for more information.

  Use the Platform Console Manager main window as the launch point for all
  platform and console management activities over a low bandwidth connection
  such as telnet.

  List of Systems
	    The top portion of the Platform Console Manager main window lists
	    all the platforms and consoles managed by AMS.  Typically a con-
	    nection is for an OS console or a management port.	This  infor-
	    mation defines the connection you want to manage.

	    Select any column heading to sort by that field.  For instance,
	    to sort the entries by platform, select the PPllaattffoorrmm column head-
	    ing, and the entries will be sorted alphabetically by platform.
	    DDaattaa TTyyppee:: Alphanumeric and special characters
	    FFoorrmmaatt:: Multi-Column list

	    CCoonnssoollee   The name given to the connection, usually an OS
		      instance.

	    PPllaattffoorrmm  The name given to the platform.

	    MMooddeell     The model number of the hardware.

	    SSttaattuuss    The console connection status indicator.	Valid states
		      are:

	    Open      A connection has been established to a console and it
		      is available to be used from Platform Console Manager.

	    In use (RO)
		      A connection has been established; all the users con-
		      nected to the console are in Read-Only mode.

	    In use (SH)
		      A connection has been established; there is at least
		      one user connected to the console in Shared mode and
		      there may be others in Read-Only mode.

	    In use (EX)
		      A connection has been established; there is one user
		      connected to the console in Exclusive mode and there
		      may be others in Read-Only mode.	No other Shared or
		      Exclusive connections are permitted.

	    Refused   The connection is refused because either the port is
		      currently in use by some process other than the cmfd
		      daemon or an invalid port number was used.

	    Disabled  The connection was disabled intentionally.

	    Inaccessible
		      The cmfd daemon  cannot connect to the console.

	    Unknown   A connection cannot be made because the cmfd daemon is
		      stopped or unresponsive.

		      You can restart the cmfd daemon.	See Restarting the
		      cmfd Daemon for more information.

	    DDeessccrriippttiioonn
		      A user-supplied comment that helps you identify the
		      system.

  Latest Console Output for Managed Systems
	    The bottom portion of the Platform Console Manager main window
	    displays the consolidated log file for all managed systems.	 The
	    consolidated log file is the concatenation of all console output
	    with the addition of a time stamp and a console name for each
	    line.  The time stamp uses the format yy/mm/dd_hh:mm:ss
	    (Year/Month/Day_Hours:Minutes:Seconds).  Select any column head-
	    ing ( TTiimmee, SSyysstteemm, or MMeessssaaggee) to sort by that field.

	    The Platform Console Manager displays the console log files that
	    were generated during the past seven days.	To view older log
	    files, you must view them in the /usr/opt/ams/logs directory
	    within a terminal window.
	    DDaattaa TTyyppee:: Alphanumeric and special characters
	    FFoorrmmaatt:: Multi-Column list

	    Time      indicates when the log was updated.

	    Console   indicates which console created the log entry.

	    Message   displays the text of the log entry.

  All Platform Console Manager functions are accessible through the buttons
  located between the LLiisstt ooff SSyysstteemmss and the LLaatteesstt CCoonnssoollee OOuuttppuutt.

       The software stored in silicon (for example, ROM or EPROM) on a
       system's CPU board.  Firmware is also known as console code.  Firmware
       is the first software that runs when a system is turned on and it
       directly controls all the hardware.  Each hardware platform uses a
       different set of firmware.  The firmware on a platform is the same
       regardless of the operating system installed on the platform.  Thus,
       firmware is platform dependent, but is OS independent.

  IICCMMPP

  IIPP aaddddrreessss

       Internet Protocol address.  A quantity used to represent a point of
       attachment in an internet.  For IPv4, it is a 32-bit quantity that
       uses periods (.) in its text form to delineate each portion of the
       address.	 For IPv6, it is a 128-bit value that uses colons (:) in its
       text form to delineate each 16-bit portion of the address.  See also
       IIPP and DDNNSS
