Software Problems
The best sources of information for software problems are your operating system and
application software documentation, which may also point to fault detection tools
that report errors and preserve your system configuration.
Other useful resources include the Survey utility, available for servers running a
Microsoft Windows, Linux, or Novell NetWare operating system, and Insight
Manager 7 (and previous versions). Use either utility to gather critical system
hardware and software information and to help with problem diagnosis.
IMPORTANT:
This guide provides information for multiple servers. Some of the hardware or
software information may not apply to your specific server. You may need to modify some of
the examples or procedures in this guide for your work environment. Refer to your
server-specific user documentation for information on procedures, hardware options, software
tools, and operating systems supported by, and specific to, your server.
