HPUX11v1 box slow at startup

[PSS SYS ADMIN]

Hi everyone,
I've 1 node of a service guard cluster slow at startup. For example: the rc.log starts at 17:13 and ends at 18:15 !!!
The other node in the rc.log starts at 13:49 and ends at 13:53
Can anyone of you help me solving this mistery question?

Regards...
PSS

Check network configuration, particularly DNS config

Hi,

it's very difficult to say what's going on boot in this way, consider there are a lot of services starting. The best thing should be standing in front of console when the system booting, you would see what service(s) is/are taking a lot of time, then you can focus your attention and troubleshooting on that.

Hope that helps you.

Best regards,
Fabio

Shalom,

I think you should look at whats IN the rc.log

There are probably clues in there.

I have seen this when there are errors in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Definately check the rc.log and netconf as Steven mentioned.

I've had issues with netconf where the NFS would hang and really slow the boot process.

The netconf it seems correctly configured (like the other cluster node).
The rc.log shows some services slows at startup like this:
Starting servicecontrol manager daemons
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S890ServCtlMgr start":
----------------------------
Configure HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage interfaces
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S900hpfcms start":
----------------------------

I've removede the services SKIPPED at startup reducing the startup time at 20m.

almost 1 hour - I would suspect some NFS related issue first ...
