FORCESALVAGE - Forces salvage of entire partition
DESCRIPTION
The FORCESALVAGE file, if present on an AFS server partition (that is, in a /vicep directory), signals that the Salvager must salvage the
entire partition. The AFS-modified version of the fsck program creates the empty (zero-length) file when it discovers corruption on the
partition. The Salvager removes the file when it completes the salvage operation.
When the File Server detects the presence of the file on a partition on which it is attaching volumes, it stops, detaches any volumes that
are already attached, and exits after recording a message in the /var/log/openafs/FileLog file. The Bos Server then invokes the Salvager to
salvage the partition.

SalvageLog - Traces Salvager operations
DESCRIPTION
The SalvageLog file records a trace of Salvager (salvager process) operations on the local machine and describes any error conditions it
encounters.
If the SalvageLog file does not already exist in the /var/log/openafs directory when the Salvager starts, the process creates it and writes
initial start-up messages to it. If there is an existing file, the Salvager renames is to SalvageLog.old, overwriting the existing
SalvageLog.old file if it exists.
When the Salvager is salvaging an entire file server, it creates a separate log file for each partition it starts salvaging. That file will
be named SalvageLog.job where job is a job number that will normally (but is not guaranteed to) correspond to the index of the partition
being salvaged. Once salvaging of all partitions is complete, the Salvager will accumulate all the partition-specific log files, append
them to SalvageLog, and then remove the partition-specific files.
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file can use the bos getlog command to display its
contents. Alternatively, log onto the file server machine and use a text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX cat command. By
default, the mode bits on the SalvageLog file grant the required "r" (read) permission to all users.
The Salvager records operations only as it completes them, and cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are
useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other problems.

I was wondering if HP offers a loaner program to allow me virtual access to a HP-UX host, similar to IBM's loaner program for their AIX platform. The loaner program is essentially a VPN to IBM's network where you can access a number of AIX machines remotely.
Thanks! (2 Replies)
