MP access

[cpdla]

Hi,

when we connect to MP

then select CO to go to console we get:

error INIT respawning too rapidly

and we do not get a login screen.

we tried crtla to move to different vpars but the same issue

we reset the MP with no luck

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Check your /etc/inittab: there might be an error in one of the lines.

If you don't know what to do, please show the output of this command:

diff -c /usr/newconfig/etc/inittab /etc/inittab

The "respawning too rapidly" error message should include the identifier of the inittab "respawn" line that is respawning too rapidly. Did you miss a word in that error message?

The message means the "init" process is detecting that some process that is started via /etc/inittab keeps dying almost immediately. In order to not waste CPU resources, init stops restarting it for a certain time, usually 5 minutes.

Try waiting 5 minutes or slightly more while logged into the MP and in the CO mode, and see what happens.

If there is a local console connected, a stuck key on that might do this.

This is OS output to the console, NOT related to a MP problem.

Go to the system and check

/etc/rc.log

to find out what startup script is producing the message.
