Booting problem

[Fayez]

Hi all,

My server running
When boot into single mode, it works fine.
But when transfer to run level 3, it toke long time to get ready, after that I tried to telnet to the server, run the swlist or stm program, again it toke long time until it gives some response.

So please any help??

telnet to ip. Is it fast?
Anything in syslog.log?

Hi,
check the /etc/rc.log file for problems.
Check the system log file with dmesg.
Is your network/dns server working ok?

Hi,

I checked the syslog and rc.log files, there was nothing ubnormal or error message.

I tried to check the DNS server, ping to it works fine, and the resolv.conf file nothing wrong with it.
but when issunig nslookup command, it hangs..

Hi,
please check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file and check your reverse name resolving for your server.

Hi,
'script' should already be installed. C heck with 'll /usr/bin/script'. 'man script' for guide on how to use it.

I will, and I will let you know the result..

Hi,

for me it sounds like a network setting mismatch.

Check the network settings of your server and of the switch - they have to be equal.

For your server you can check with:
'lanadmin -x 0'
or
'landiag' - 'lan' - 'dis'
or in
SAM

Hi,
Thanks for all for this fast replay.

I found the following:

1- The file nsswitch.conf is missing.
2- The primary DNS is down, so I add secondary DNS.
3- The server name at the DNS not correct, modified it.

after that all issues solved.
So thanks for all again, and I will assign the pionts....

So now I have to close this thread...

Thanks for ALL....
