Hi,

From the information provided here it appears as if any one pf these is trying to access a resource which is available on the other server. It may be any file required by some application, NFS etc. You can try lokking at syslog.log and dmesg first. If this do not help try to see the utilization of both servers by running "top" on both and then remove cable to find out what process is causing this. You might see some process consuming heavy resources.

HTH,
Devender

Hi,

If you don't want them on the network, disable networking..You can do this from the command line by using set_parms initial or use SAM.

Also check how your hostname is getting resolved, are you using DNS??
(check /etc/hosts and /etc/nsswitch.conf).

Make sure you have the following in the /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 hostname localhost loopback
where hostname should be the actual hostname.

Most likely this is a name resolution issue. Without the network, name resolution is failing and CDE is extremely dependant on name resolution.

Check you /etc/nsswitch.conf file and make sure you're searching files first, rather than dns:

hosts: files[NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue] dns [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=return] nis

thanks everyone.
i have change /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts files
and change /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 hostname localhost loopback
to first line.


then restart cde.

then now,if i down the network,the cde is still ok.

thanks.
