netconf

paul fritzsche — Tue, 29 Apr 2003 07:39:33 GMT

A few collegues of mine made some changes in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

They added a few new routes. Then they asked me to make the changes active, so I did the net stop and then net start. This didnt work very good. It gave me an error back saying: unexpected end of file in line 247.. I then, without thinking (idiot) rebooted the machine, ofcourse it does not restart again. It stops and gives the following error: /etc/rc[xx] unexcepted end of file in line 247 (if Im not remembering wrong)

I have loked at our second HP-UX machine and found that they commented the routes with ";" instead of "#". This might be the problem?!

How can I restart the machine so I can remake the changes in the netconf file properly?

boot the machine interrupt at boot sequence.

Interact with IPL
IPL>hpux -is

Go into the single user mode.
Correct the problems with the netconf file.

Then do a reboot.

Thanks

From the console:

Control-B

from ISL prompt
ISL> hpux -is

The system will boot, make your changes to the file. Do not keep a copy of the file in /etc/rc.config
Once the changes have been made, use control-D and the system will start run level two and so on. It should be okay, as networking does not start until run level 2 anyway.

Hi Paul,
From the point the machine stops, you can push ctrl-\, or ctrl-c, or ctrl-d.

From there you get a prompt, and you can edit netconf.

The way of the other gents work also...

Well, I restarted teh machine. Was that not a good idea? From a turned off machine, How do I get it to single-user mode? How do I break the boot and where?

The machine seems to have stoped at INIT C640. What does this mean?

When the system boots

interrupt before 10 secs

press any key to interrupt the boot

Then from the menu do a

"boot pri"

interact with IPL?yes

IPL>hpux -is

which should take you to the single user mode.

Thanks

I am now in single user mode, but there are no way for me to edit the netconf file.

How do I do it?

Usually the vi-command is in the /usr/bin catalogue but the /usr is empty now..
