HP VISUALISE C3600 BOOT PROBLEMS

[Adrian Jujescu]

Hi to all!!!

Our company receive a HP VISUALISE C3600 workstation running HP-UX operating system from our partners. They told us that the system use NIS/NIS+ autentication method.
When we try to boot the system we have the following error at
HP-UX Start-Up in Progress Status page:
......
Start NFS core subsystem [OK]
Start NIS+ server subsystem [OK]
Start NIS+ client subsystem [OK]
Start NIS server subsystem [OK]
Start NIS client subsystem [FAIL]
Start NFS client subsystem [wait\busy]
........

and the system hang up with the message:
. - An error has occured !
. - Refer to the file /etc/rc.log for more
information

What can I do to finish the boot process, to have acces to the system consoles so I can tune the system configuration ?

Thank you very much for your help and suggestions !!!

The Ctrl-\ (Control-backslash) keystroke will interrupt the rc files during the boot process.
Then you should be able to troubleshoot you NFS-client problem.

give shift control pipe (|) a try.

that will break you out of the startup and give you a command prompt.

troubleshoot from single user mode

Or you can interrupt the boot process....by pressing any key when prompted...

then boot pri

you will be asked whether to interact with ISL...respond with Y and then at the ISL key in hpux -is....

U are there in single user mode.
to troubleshoot the NIS problem

Thanks and Regards

90 % U have a wrong /etc/hosts file which may have same IP confiogured for two hosts or some TYPO !!! fix it...

CTRL+ \ will give you a login prompt so that u can safely correct these and try a reboot !

If the above does'nt work go into the single user mode from ISL

Press "CTRL \ " to get the login prompt.

I think the workstation is not able to reach it's NIS domain server. Check /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs.

Check /etc/exports , /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and /etc/hosts for NFS related errors.
