strange System Error errors on the console

Grayh — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 19:26:46 GMT

I have some strange messages popping over my screen...

Message from syslogd@iuxclient1 at Fri Sep 26 16:00:08 2008 ...

While doing a ignite Installation I have used iuxclient1 name for the server in /etc/bootptab file.

How shoud I remove it..

Hi:

Is this 11.31 ? If so, you might want these patches:

PHCO_36032
PHCO_36038

Regards!

...JRF...

Hi,

If you don't have OnlineJFS you need to do as single user:

lvextend -L /dev/vg00/lvol5
umount /dev/vg00/lvol5
extendfs /dev/vg00/lvol5
mount /dev/vg00/lvol5 /tmp

If you have OnlineJFS:

lvextend -L /dev/vg00/lvol5
fsadm -F vxfs -b

Regards!

Hi

# sh ./create_depot_hpux.11.31 ( wrong syntex)

Please give below command

# sh create_depot_hpux.11.31

Thanks

># chmod u+x create_depot_hpux.11.31

I would assume this was already set?

># ./create_depot_hpux.11.31
interpreter "/bin/ksh" not found
sh: ./create_depot_hpux.11.31: not found.

This indicates something is terribly wrong with your system. Is ./usr/bin mounted? And if so, is /bin a symlink to /usr/bin?

># sh ./create_depot_hpux.11.31
awk: Cannot find or open file ./patch_manifest.

You need this file to tell the script which patches you have. Were you out of space before it could be extracted?

># pwd -> /var/tmp

You may want to create a subdirectory so you can see/remove only the particular files in the patch you downloaded.

>SKR: # sh ./create_depot_hpux.11.31 (wrong syntax)
# sh create_depot_hpux.11.31

Both commands do the same thing. PATH isn't checked.

> interpreter "/bin/ksh" not found

Did you transfer these patches through a PC? You probably forgot to change the transfer option from ASCII to BINARY. You can verify that this is the problem by typing this command:

head create_depot_hpux.11.31 | cat -v

If you see the special characters ^M at the end of each line (for example: #!/bin/ksh^M), all the files are corrupted and must transferred from your PC using ftp, but this time, type the command: BINARY before using the put or mput command. PCs have a different format for ASCII files and the HP-UX patches must be transferred with no translation.
