10.8.1 Indictment
The Indictment service is supported on systems that meet all of the following conditions:
- AlphaServers only
- OpenVMS only (because WEBES is not being released for Tru64 UNIX as of this release) that maintain a FRU version 6 configuration tree, which includes the hardware models DS15, DS25, ES45, GS* and later models. It does not include DS10, DS20, DS20e, nor ES40 that maintain version 5 FRU trees.
Indictment enables the system to automatically detect and shut down failing CPUs and certain PCI boards in order to avoid system crashes. See the operating system documentation for more information on component indictment. The following sections describe how to configure Indictment on OpenVMS systems.
10.8.1.1 OpenVMS
Indictment is supported on OpenVMS V7.3-2 and newer. To configure Indictment on an upgraded system, use the following procedure:
- Access the SVCTOOLS_HOME:[common.ca.install] directory and locate the enabling configuration file ConfigDefaultsIndictment.txt.
- Copy the enabling configuration file to the SVCTOOLS_HOME:[specific.desta.config] directory.
- Run DESTA ChangeEnrollments command:
desta exec "com.compaq.svctools.desta.configuration.ChangeEnrollments" "-enroll" "ConfigDefaultsIndictment.txt"The next time WEBES is started, the Indictment service will be activated.
