commandview problem

[Delrish]

Hi,

I want to connect to VA from HP-UX. I installed commandview.When i run armdsp , it siad : "Failed to open target Bahar@/dev/rscsi/c13t0d0:null"

Oon other server, i got :
Arrays known to the ARMServer:
No arrays were found by the ARMServer

What is the problem?

Alireza,

check the array ID and if it is connected correct

What happens if you do an 'armdsp -i' to display all arrays accessable to the system?

armdsp -i show the array-id but when i want to connect to that array it says : Failed to open target Bahar@/dev/rscsi/c13t0d0:null

Hi Alireza,

Try running an "armdiscover" which actually scans the busses for VA arrays. The information gathered from an armdiscvoer is then "cached" in the file

/opt/sanmgr/commandview/server/data/DeviceDBFile

to make it faster when you do any arm commands.

Hello Curt,

When I executed armdiscover, system return this error : failed to obtain remote database interface to host:localhost

Alireza,

I've seen that before. It may be a networking issue (/etc/host file or DNS), or you can try restarting the host agent. The commands are:

/opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/sbin HA_Dial_Stop
and
/opt/sanmgr/commandview/client/sbin HA_Dial_Start

If that fails, I would try a reboot of your host.

Hi Curt,

What do you mean by "It may be a networking issue (/etc/host file or DNS)"

I did not setup nameserver for my server, so /etc/resolv.conf does not exist in my system. I found another thing, when the system going to be up, HostAgent will fail and. But there is nothing in /etc/rc.log that can help to find the root of problem.
I did not find anything in syslog about it.
I tried to start it manualy it reported:


b-3.00# ./HA_Dial_Start
NOTE: hostwatchdog started
NOTE: Starting HostAgent
ERROR: HostAgent failed to start
See logfile "/opt/sanmgr/hostagent/log/HostAgentDebugOut.log"
and "/opt/sanmgr/hostagent/log/HostAgentErr.log"
ERROR: Cannot start hostagent
'HostAgent', 'dial', and/or 'hostwatchdog' processes were not started.

Hi Alireza,

I've seen networking problems where the host was not on the DNS server, or possibly the resolv.conf is not set correctly. Sorry I don't rememeber the exact fix, only that it was networking related.

With regards to the host agent not starting, do you have any other HP host agents such as Performance Advisor, Path Connectivity (XP related), or OVSAM? If so, there could be a load sequence or compatibility issue.

Hi Curt,

No, I do not have these softwares on my system.attached please find the HostAgentErr. It seems there is an error related to java. have you ever seen it?
