RPC fails when booting up

[David Junyent]

I have a just recently installed HP-UX11i server and, during the boot process I get the following error in /etc/rc.log:

"/sbin/rc2.d/S590Rpcd start " Failed

In fact, when configuring the filesets after installing the operating system, I got an error in the file /var/opt/ignite/local/install.log. The message said:

"RPC exception: "Communication failure (dce / rpc)"

Anyway, all the filsets were properly configured.

Somebody know how to avoid the error in the boot process ???

This could be due to a mismatch of IP address in /etc/hosts file and lan0
The IP address should be same in hosts and lan0

Hi,

If I edit the file /etc/hosts and I execute "ifconfig lan0" , I can see the same IP address on both !

I have installed hpux 11i many many times and
I got this same error, without any visible consequence for at least 2 years.

RPC is for DCE (Distributed Computing Environment), it seems that my applications do not use it. So it does not disturb me!

Just do a

#nslookup
#nslookup
checking the resolution works fine

Also do a

#/usr/sbin/swagentd -r

What is your hostname.Is it greater than 8 characters?

If this does not work,check for the doc 200000069320307 which explains another scenario.

Change the STRMSGSZ from 8192 to 65535.
EMSGSIZE is going above limits.

This applies to 11i

Not sure about the doc on the EUROPE site
