skipping part of the hpux bootup sequence

[JOHN TURNER_2]

hi

i was wondering whether there is a way to skip one of the checks hpux does when the system boots up. I have just rebuilt a hpux 11.23 server, and on reboot, it gets to trying to start NFS and just keeps probing for it, but doesn't get any further. Can i skip this check , as there is and will be no NFS runnning on this server

cheers

John,

Change /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf. The parameters NFS_CLIENT and NFS_SERVER should be set to zero.

John,
if you find the corresponding file in /sbin/init.d, remove the link to this file in /sbin/rcX.d.
On my machine:
/sbin/rc3.d/S100nfs.server -> /sbin/init.d/nfs.server

Hi,

The best way to skip the check is to edit /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file and set NFS_CLIENT=0.

But !!! If boot procedure gets stuck on this stage, it means that the server has a difference in the host network definition in /etc/hosts amd /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

Please look at the files when thge server is up and running and find the difference.

Sorry,

Not "-l" option,
ch_rc -a -p NSF_SERVER=0 /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
