Automating Routine Monitoring Tasks
Automating Routine Monitoring Tasks
Automating routine tasks and procedures helps save you time and reduces the possibility
of errors. Most of the tasks in Table 1-1 can be automated using command files and
TACL macros or routines. Automation examples for many of the tasks in this guide are
included with the task descriptions.
Hardware operations manuals such as the Himalaya S-Series Operations Guide contain
specific examples for automating system startup operations.
