About starting failure of the nettl command

[井上雅也]

As a result of executing the nettl command in two or more servers of the same environment, starting of the nettl command went wrong by several sets of servers.

The following is as a result of command execution.

# nettl -e lan100 -tn pduin pduout -s 1024 -tm 99999 -f /bkup01/nettldir/nettl
nettl : Unable to start the reader daemon process which writes
trace and log information to a trace/log file.

Please teach me an error solution.

Hi,

If you have 11i or 11.0 with latest patches, then you can use 'nettladm' a gui like interface to manage nettl.

Thank you for a reply.

If possible, please let me know the cause of an error, and the details of the measure method.

Hello,

See if the nettl subsystem is running with nettl -ss

It is possible that disk space is full someplace, or was at some prior point.
Check that out and then retry the command.

If that does not work and you continue to get the same or similar error, try stop and restart start of nettl subsystem with /sbin/init.d/nettl stop and /sbin/init.d/nettl start

Hope that helps,

Thank you for your repry.


Please let me check.
When it is not the problem of a disk space, what can be considered as other causes?
Is it the bug of a command?
Is it canceled if a patch is applied?

Hi,

I would check to see if /etc/nettlgen.conf is consistent with the systems where you can successfully start nettl with the above command. Also find out all the supported entities by running the command 'nettlconf -status'. Try restarting nettl subsystem with /sbin/init.d/nettl stop and /sbin/init.d/nettl start and see if the produce any errors.

Installing patches may not be a bad idea. Look at itrc.hp.com web site and search for patches that may affect nettl.
