Adding Fault-Tolerant Utilities to PATH
Express5800/
ftServer
fault-tolerant utilities, like
ftsmaint
and
ASNConfig
, reside
in the
/opt/ft/bin
and
/opt/ft/sbin
directories. Consider setting your PATH
to include these directories.
Performing an Installation Without a Kickstart File
1. After installation, while the system is booting, the GRUB menu must supply
:
linux
reboot=warm nmi_watchdog=0
i8042.noaux
At the boot prompt.
You must type something (at least one character) on the
boot
prompt line before
its timeout period expires. Otherwise, the boot will proceed with incorrect
parameters and the keyboard will be disabled. If this happens, you can recover by
power-cycling the system and booting again.
This command is necessary for your Express5800/
ftServer
to be fault-tolerant.
You can find additional information about the kickstart files in the Red Hat Linux OS
system administration documentation.
