Hello all

we have just rebuilt a RP8400 with 11i and the console is re-generatting an error msg every 5 mins,

can anyone shed any light on the situation

Error Msg:
INIT. command is respawning too quickly
will retry in 5 minutes
Check for possible errors
Id: icod /usr/lbin/icodd # iCOD daemon

cheers
John

Checked for an entry in inittab simiar to icod:23456:respawn:/usr/lbin/icodd # iCOD daemon ?


that said and reading between the lines are vpars and ignite involved in this equation if yes read on ...


These error messages can appear because the vPar configuration has a problem.

This can be caused when using an IgniteUX image to clone systems running vPar.

Check /etc/rc.log and you may find the following entries:

Virtual Partitions Initialization
Output from "/sbin/rc1.d/S105vparinit start":
----------------------------
ioctl: Invalid argument
Download of DUMP_DISK_BLOCK failed
Could not open dump file for writing: No such file or directory
WARNING: vcs is not in kernel
WARNING: vcn is not in kernel
WARNING: vparmon is not in kernel
Not booted in a VPAR
"/sbin/rc1.d/S105vparinit start" SKIPPED


Initialize capacity on demand
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S602icod start":
----------------------------

Running vparstatus(1M) may also give you the following error:

vparstatus: Internal error: Cannot get monitor version info. (Code 19,8)

To fix the vPar error, either remove the /dev/vpmon altogether or move it out
of the way:

# rm /dev/vpmon
or
# mv /dev/vpmon /dev/vpmon.bad

When the problem causing the vPar error is fixed the iCOD error will go away.
