User`s guide

With SPECTRUM Release 4.0, the recommended method for starting the server is by using the SPECTRUM Control
Panel. Using the SPECTRUM Control Panel insures that the environment is properly set up and that the supporting
daemons, DAS and ArchMgr, are running. For versions prior to 4.0, please refer to your SPECTRUM System
Administrator’s Guide for the proper method for starting SpectroSERVER.
i. Check that the SPECTRUM processd daemon is started.
Issue this command, at your workstation:
spectrum
You can type this command from any directory.
SPECTRUM displays the Select Host Machine window (and the Control Panel window). Display of the Select
Host Machine window indicates that the
processd
daemon is started. On the Select Host Machine window,
select the name of the SPECTRUM management host or select DEFAULT. Select OK.
SPECTRUM closes the Select Host Machine window.
Note: If the Select Host Machine window does not display, and instead a window displays with a message similar
to this (where machine name is the SPECTRUM management host name):
Cannot connect to the processd at this location:
machine name
Then the SPECTRUM processd daemon on the management machine is not started. See Cabletron
SPECTRUM Appendix 1: Starting the processd Daemon for instructions on starting processd. After you start
processd,
repeat this action.
ii. Check that SpectroSERVER is running.
When the Select Host Machine window closes, the Control Panel window is left open. In the Message
subwindow, SPECTRUM displays
SpectroSERVER is now ready...
and in the Status field SPECTRUM displays
RUNNING
This combination of values indicates that SpectroSERVER is running.
Note: If one or both values are not as described, select Start SERVER on the Control Panel window. In the
Status
field, SPECTRUM displays
STARTING
and then displays
RUNNING
. In the
Message
subwindow,
SPECTRUM displays
SpectroSERVER is now ready...
When this combination of values is present, go on to the next action.
b. Start SpectroGRAPH.
On the Control Panel window, select SpectroGRAPH. The window named Select Server To Connect To... is displayed.
Select the name of the SPECTRUM management machine or select DEFAULT. Then select OK. SPECTRUM closes
the Select Server To Connect To ... window. After a pause, SPECTRUM displays and closes the eye window and then
displays the Topology View window and perhaps other View windows (Alarm View or Geographic View or Hierarchy
View).
