Re: ERROR WHEN STARTING HP UX SERVER

I would reboot to single then disable it and come up to multi and investigate it.

OR I believe you can hit slash or backslash and get past it...(ie kill the proc)

Re: ERROR WHEN STARTING HP UX SERVER

i also noticed your lan failed... thats probably why your NFS hung...


go to single and investigate.

Re: ERROR WHEN STARTING HP UX SERVER

single user mode...when the box gets to the 10 sec interupt "hit any key". hit any key to interupt and then type:

hpux -is

If youre not the SA, do you have root privileges on the box? Who ever is needs to investigate your failed LAN.

OK, I'm not the SA, but I have all accounts on the server (including root account) and I have to investigate the problem myself.

Re: ERROR WHEN STARTING HP UX SERVER

Your lan obviously failed...could be card, could be cable, could be any number of things.

To bypass where it is just wait/busy do the following:
Hold down Shift & Cntl key and type | (the pipe character)
..this will get it to go past the one it's stuck on.

You might be able to bring the server up and check a few things out...or go back to single user if you prefer. Check the basics out on your lan...is it connected, is the card good, is the cable good...is the port configured properly (like correct lanspeed and correct subnet)...and so forth.

Re: ERROR WHEN STARTING HP UX SERVER

Hi,

Do following.

1. boot the machine in to single user mode.
2. edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
put NFS_SERVER=0 (if it is 1)
put NFS_CLIENT=0 ( if it is 1)
3. save the file and reboot the machine in normal mode.

Re: ERROR WHEN STARTING HP UX SERVER

Hi

Explanation of fault:- the lan is failing on boot but that is not stopping it, it is the nfs ( network file system) that is looking for remotely mounted file systems and as the lan is not working so it it is not finding them.

As PAP stated interupt the boot process go into single user mode and disable the NFS system.

Reboot and then investigate the lan failure - cable, card?

After lan is fixed then re-enable NFS and reboot.

Re: ERROR WHEN STARTING HP UX SERVER

I once got this when there was a misplaced dot in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file

You can also get strangeness if you keep a backup of netconf in /etc/rc.config.d

If your system doesn't hang forever, you're lucky.
