Completing the system maintenance procedure by using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to complete the system maintenance procedure.

About this task

Use the following steps to complete the system maintenance procedure:

Procedure

  1. Issue the finderr command to analyze the error log for the highest severity of unfixed errors. This command scans the error log for any unfixed errors. Given a priority order that is defined within the code, the highest priority of unfixed errors is returned.
  2. Issue the dumperrlog command to dump the contents of the error log to a text file.
  3. Locate and fix the error.
  4. Issue the clearerrlog command to clear all entries from the error log, including status events and any unfixed errors. Only issue this command when you rebuild the system or you fix a major problem that caused many entries in the error log that you do not want to fix individually.
    Note: Clearing the error log does not fix the errors.
  5. Issue the cherrstate command to toggle the state of an error between unfixed and fixed.
