Jclass OS install issue
Why is this box behaving differently then the others? The other hosts don't have an nsswitch.conf file. Hardware config is the same as well as the OS install options.
I also noted that on this one host the lan cards are listed as lan0 and lan2 where as the others are lan0 and lan1. Note that only the onboard nic (lan0) is configured.

Re: Jclass OS install issue
I think you need to go back and carefully categorize the conditions of each machine so we actually have something to go on other than "3 machines, one slow".

Re: Jclass OS install issue
HP-UX by default does not install an /etc/nsswitch.conf file.
There are a few candidates with other extensions.
swagentd and other services will not start properly until you have a proper nsswitch.conf file in place.

Re: Jclass OS install issue
On the good hosts, (no nsswitch.conf exists) and they are running fine. swagentd is running fine on the other boxes with no nsswitch.conf

Re: Jclass OS install issue
lan2 designator instead of lan1, is somewhat of an indicative of a different card location (like a different slot) but can't be sure. You might have a bad slot on this server or a bad NIC.
When you said fresh install after a painfully slow operation after igniting 3rd box, I have a sneaking suspicion that it did not overwrite the existing (ignited) OS but went into a recovery mode and this is how you ended up with an nsswitch.conf file, leftover from the ignite installation. Otherwise, default installation of hpux from optical media, do not create one as noted above. And a bad nsswitch.conf can wreak havoc on your system with unbearably long boot times and any other network related operations. But it should be quite easy to fix by either renaming them to get them out of the way or putting in correct information in it by copying it from another server in the same subnet, which is working fine. Make sure, your /etc/resolv.conf is in a good standing along with nsswitch.conf.
If you are still having difficulty, please elaborate more and you'll get more answers

Re: Jclass OS install issue
As for the reslove.conf - this was created during the install (both cold and from the ignite image). I even recreated it but that made no differnce.

Re: Jclass OS install issue
If this is the right statement, could you please post the symptoms you are observing ? What are you doing on sys1 or sys2 that is working fine and not working on sys3 ? By means of 'working fine' I mean running at acceptable speeds vs not. If there are any other problems, please provide details on those as well.

Re: Jclass OS install issue
Looking at the NIC, all was set ok (100FD same as on the switch), no errors in lanadmin. STM doesn't report anything.
After digging through the systems config, we manually created a a nssswitch.conf (copied from nsswitch.files) file and then the system started to behave.
That is what has me a little perplexed. I don't understand why this box would be any different then the others.

Re: Jclass OS install issue
if all 3 servers are on the same network and none of them are configured to use NIS, all you need to do is to compare the nsswitch.conf and resolv.conf files to see why sys3 is behaving badly.
In the lack of an nsswitch.conf file, this default behaviour should be in effect for name resolution options:
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=return] nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
are all 3 servers' resolv.conf files the same ?

Re: Jclass OS install issue
With the port properly configured, the problem went away. I even did another cold install and this time the box behaved normally even without a nsswitch.conf file.
Thanks for the inputs.
