This chapter describes preventive maintenance of the LSMS. Included are topics on backing up databases and file systems, monitoring hardware and network performance, and routine cleaning.
Use the system monitoring features regularly, especially during times of peak load, to verify that the system has adequate resources. This practice provides an insight into system resource utilization and provides early warning if the system capacity limits are being approached.
The procedures in this chapter assume that you are familiar with the LSMS hardware. For more information about the hardware, refer to Application B Card Hardware and Installation Guide.
