ASU SERVICES

Nobody's Hero — Mon, 28 Jun 2004 10:10:21 GMT

I am running an HPUX system with ASU services (advanced server software). Yes this is discontinued by HP. We are now running SAMBA on Linux.

My question is: I think I have migrated all the ASU mounts to Linux. I see the following dir under ASU, and I was wondering if there is a utility that can show me if the ASU services are still handling any requests. I want to turn this box off, but I want to be sure nothing is using it.

Under /opt/lanman/bin I have the following:

/opt/asu/lanman/bin# ls
.cshrc asu_rmv chgroup lmecho lmx.srv netevent regadm setdomain
.exrc asu_ver chuser lmlp lmxstart passmgmt regcheck setdomainname
.login asuconfig delshmem lmnet lmxsvc pcuxconv regconfig setlpcyc
.profile asulanglib domainsids lmpaths lsacl postinst regload setservername
.sh_history asulibswitch elfread lmshare makemach postrem regpreload spooler
acladm blobadm getrole lmshell makenode pralerter regupgrade srvconfig
asu_diag cdrutil jobdonmsg lmstat mapuname preinst request startsvc
asu_inst chacl joindomain lmx.ctrl ms_srv prenet rmacl ud
asu_pcuxconv chdomain lmat lmx.ep net prerem samcheck uuidgen

Can I use any of these to track activity?

You could:

Install this client
http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8724AA

and this server
http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8725AA

and monitor activity from the smb.log

CIFS/9000 is Samba and can easily be deployed and used on your 9000 server.

I've used ASU for 7 years now (and am still using it, even though I should know better since it's discontinued). I would recommend that instead of installing Samba on your box (which will kill ASU), you can use the ASU 'net session', or 'net file' commands. 'Net session' will show all the client systems with open sessions (there will be one session by default - the session you open when running the command), and 'net file' will show all the files opened by the ASU process. You should also check for any 'asu.lmx' processes. There will be at least one, if there is more than one, you definitely have users still connecting to the ASU shares. Another way to check is to use the command 'net stop server'. You will be alerted to any open ASU sessions and files before ASU stops, and you will have the option to continue or not continue shutting down ASU. (For more details and other 'net' commands, 'man net' on the system with ASU installed. In order to use the 'net' commands, you need to include /opt/asu/lanman/bin in your PATH.)
