This procedure explains how to view information about the
node canister and system using a USB flash drive.
About this task
Use any
USB flash drive with
a FAT32 file system on its first partition.
- Ensure that the USB flash drive does
not contain a file named satask.txt in
the root directory.
If satask.txt does
exist in the directory, the node attempts to run the command that
is specified in the file. The information that is returned is appended
to the satask_result.html file. Delete
this file if you no longer want the previous output.
Procedure
- Insert the USB flash drive in
one of the USB ports of the node canister from which you want to collect
data.
- The node canister fault LED flashes while
information is collected and written to the USB flash drive.
- Wait until the LED stops flashing before removing the USB flash drive. Because the LED is a fault indicator, it might remain permanently
on or off.
- View the results in file satask_result.html in
a web browser. The file contains the details and results of the command
that was run and the status and the configuration information from
the node canister.
