10.1 Maintenance Policies
Do not directly run the halt command (in Solaris) or switch off the power. In this way,irretrievable damages may occur on the DMS.
To ensure the stable and reliable running of the DMS, comply with the following:
z It is recommended to configure an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) on the DMS WSto protect the system against hardware corruption, system crash and data loss due to theunexpected power failure.
If the DMS server cannot be configured with the UPS, after being informed that the
power will be shut down, the administrator must close the DMS server in the correct waybefore the WS is powered off.
z Whenever you need to power off the DMS WS, follow the sequence: exit the DMS, exitthe database, and run the init 6 command to restart the WS.
z After the system is started, run two applications, that is, the client and the SystemMonitor.
These two programs do not need to be closed, so that the administrator can monitor thesystem status at any time.
z The accounts of the NMS WS need to be divided according to their level and are grantedto the maintenance personnel.
The password of the administrative level account is only granted to the maintenance
personnel.z Do not play games on the DMS server, do not install other unnecessary software or do
not use it for other purpose.
z Do not connect any other computer or portable computer to the network where the DMSserver is to avoid the problems, such as the IP address conflict or virus infection.
z Keep the equipment room clean and dry.
10.2 Routine Maintenance List
Routine maintenance is preventive maintenance.According to different period, themaintenance is divided into daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance.
