error with the network

[Wael_4]

I have a problem in sam when trying to access the networking and communication > interface cards.
I got the following error:
"laninfo: Current: not found."
and then when I press ok
I got the following error
There are currently no network interface cards installed on thissystem. To add a network interface card you should refer to theinstallation manual for the applicable card and ensure that bothhardware and software installation procedures are followed. For more information, choose "Overview" from the "Help" pulldown menu."
on the other hand when I run lanscan I get the three network cards available as well when I run ioscan -funClan

what is wrong with my system, kindly help.

also when I run sam from /sbin and access the networking and communications > interface cards. I did not get any error messages and I can access the three network cards available on the system.
also I can connect to the system fom my workstation.

kindly help

appreciate your cooperation.

Sounds like the problme is something in the environment when you sun SAM.

Are all filesystems mounted and have free space? can you post the output of the env command.

Tony

[Colin Topliss]

Odd. It should at the very least see the core I/O interface, if nothing else.

Sounds like there is a problem with SAM.

Was there anything mentioned in the SAM log?

[Tony Scully_2]

But it works OK when SAM is run form /sbin?

Something not right with the shell, session or environment maybe?

I'd like to see the output of an env cmd.

Hi,

Yes, it is a path issue as when you do it from /sbin directory it works fine. Just add /sbin to your current path and it should be OK. It apparently appears that it can not find some commands of /sbin which are executed by SAM in background as your PATH does not include /sbin.

HTH,
Devender

[Wael_4]

I have already add the /sbin to the PATH and actualy I got the same error after logout and login to activate the new path.

[Ermin Borovac]

Any errors in /var/sam/log/samlog?

SAM runs the following command to get the info. What happens when you run it from command line?

# /usr/sam/lbin/laninfo

[Ermin Borovac]

Also please post the output of

# netstat -ni
# ifconfig lan0
# ifconfig lan1
# ifconfig lan2

this is the output in samlog

I discovered something that the problem happens only when I run sam from "/" and when I run it from any other folder or directory it's working without any problem

[Tony Scully_2]

That seems to suggest that SAM has an issue with / directory. Maybe sam is trying to write some temp files there, and is unable to -- surprised that there is nothing logged in the sam logs though.

Do you have a $TMPDIR defined?

Maybe try export TMPDIR=/var/tmp and then re-run sam from /

Tony

[Ermin Borovac]

For some reason /usr/sam/lbin/laninfo is failing.

I suggest that you trace it with 'tusc'. You can get tusc from

ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/tusc..shar

Then run it as

# tusc -fv -o tusc.log /usr/sam/lbin/laninfo

Examine tusc.log for possible clues.
