HOMEBASE SOLUTION COMMISIONING GUIDE
220-Homebase SMTP Server
220-(c) Indigo Stone International Limited, 2005

Type quit to return to the command prompt (note that the quit command may
not be echoed to the screen).
It is recommended that the commissioning engineer repeat the two validation
tests on another server, one that is either expected to communicate with the
Homebase server or should have network visibility of the Homebase server.
Failure of any of these two commands on a remote sever may indicate that
there are network configuration setting changes required to enable a network
path to be formed between the two servers.
4.3 Testing the Configuration
Ultimately to test the configuration selected, a Homebase agent should be
configured to transmit a profile to the newly commissioned Homebase server.
This can only occur once the Homebase server interfaces have been configured
(as described in previous sections) and the Homebase agent has been licensed
(Unlicensed Homebase agents are fully functional expect for the automatic
transmission to the Homebase server).
4.4 Before Recovery
Before recovery can take place of UNIX server the Homebase software
repository must be loaded with the packages necessary to allow a server to
rebuilt, no matter the hardware platform type.
This loading must occur for each operating system version that is required to be
supported.
Full guidance on how this loading process takes places is provided in the
Homebase user guide.
4.4 Examining Log Files
The Homebase server produces four log files that can be examined to provide
detailed information on the functionality accessed by users and the server’s
performance.
All the log files can be located in <Homebase Proxy installation
directory>/ logs:
- server.log
The server.log file provides a very verbose output of the functional execution
of Homebase. The average administrator may find this information daunting,
and will probably find the information in the console.log file much more
useful.
