AS/U installation

Frédéric Devos — Thu, 07 Jun 2001 10:17:57 GMT

AS/U cannot start after the installation!

Test System details:
L1000,1CPU,512MbRAM
HP-UX 03/2001,QualityPack 03/2001,HW critical patch 03/2001

What I do?
1) Install x25 software
2) Install OTS
3) Install ASU 04.06 --> The problems begin
After the reboot, the "INITIALISE LOADABLE MODULE" give an error :
"WARNING: Out of character major numbers
Couldn't install driver krm
gio_mod_drv_reg: gio_allocate_majors failed
FAIL *"
In /stand/dlkm/mod_register, you read "krm:5:pseudo,25,-1,-1" If I remove this line, there is no boot problems anymore.

Do someone have an Idea of what is wrong?

After that, when I try to start initialize asu (asu_inst), I receive the following message :
"RROR: The Advanced Server for UNIX Systems cannot be started.
Verify the transport is configured correctly and is running."
I then check /etc/opt/lmu/netbios/nbconfig but the datas seem to be correct.

What can I try now?

Thanks

lots of possibilities for that....

AS/U relies on netbios daemon and netbios on STREAMS.

First check if STREAMS is functional; then check for
netbiosdaemon /opt/lmu/netbios/bin/netdemon

i use CIFS/9000 instead of ASU.
You can download it from software.hp.com
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProducts.pl?group_type=category&group_name=NSM

It's free and it works very well.

Thanks for helping me !!!

How can I check if STREAMS is functional?
For Netbios, it starts normally. You can find the the netdemon after starting it.

I have seen something else :
On an operational server, "lsdev | egrep -i 'netbios|netbiosdg|lmxloop'" gives 3 devices.

On the test server, only the 2 following devices netbios|netbiosdg

For the CIFS product, I know that the very last version can play Domain Controller. We will test it in the next weeks
Thanks

STREAMS is initialized at boot up, so look for STREAMS related messages in syslog.log.

You really should have /dev/lmxloop device. If you dont't
have this, look if the lmxloop driver is included in the kernel (use sam).
