ICOD boot error - not!

[Norman Dignard]

We have 2 j5600's similar hw and setup basically the same. Somesome reason on one system the icod daemon tries to start and we get the following error:

Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S602icod start":
----------------------------
ERROR: The following low-level error occurred:

CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
ERROR: /etc/inittab is missing the required entry for the Instant Capacity daemon (icapd).
Refer to the icapd (1m) man page for more
information.
ERROR: The following low-level error occurred:

CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED
ERROR: The Instant Capacity (iCAP) Agent
was unable to reconcile the number of active
processors with the intended number of active
processors. For further information about
the Instant Capacity status, run icapstatus (1m).
"/sbin/rc2.d/S602icod start" FAILED

The other host just skips the startup. I've checked /etc/inittab - no entry exists. I've uninstalled/reinstalled icod but still get the error msg.
We don't have/use icod on these systems.
Why is this system behaving this way and how can I "deactivate" icod's startup?

[Duncan Edmonstone]

Norman,

The first thing the start script does is check whether this is an iCOD capable system by running "icapstatus -z". This returns 4 on systems that don't support iCOD and the script then exits. Your system doesn't support iCOD so the icapstatus should just retrun 4, but the icapstatus command is also dependent on WBEM, and in your case it looks like there is something wrong with WBEM on your system, hence the CIM error.

There are 2 choices you have here to resolve this:

1) Figure out what is wrong with WEBM (start by seeing if cimserver is running).

2) Just delete the symbolic link /sbin/rc2.d/S602icod - its never going to do anything usefull on a J6500 anyway.

I though that it is WBEM and the cim_server is running. I just can't seem to find what config in WBEM is trying to start icod.
Any ideas?

[Duncan Edmonstone]

Nothing in CIM is trying to start icod.

The icapstatus command called from S602icod attempts to interrogate the system using CIM.

As you don't really care about icod on a J class server, I figured the easiest thing to do would be to just remove the symbolic link to the startup script.

But if you want to follow this through and figure out what is wrong with WBEM, start using this checklist:

If you do not want to start icod services in startup, please remove:

/sbin/rc2.d/S602icod
/sbin/rc1.d/K398icod

and rename or remove /sbin/init.d/icod from the system.

[Dennis Handly]

>Mehmood: please remove: /sbin/rc2.d/S602icod
/sbin/rc1.d/K398icod

Instead of removing these two, there should be a configuration file in /etc/rc.config.d/ that you can edit or uninstall ICOD.

[Torsten.]

Hmm, I think there is nothing related in /etc/rc.config.d/

this is what the startup script does:

/usr/sbin/icapstatus -z

if [[ $? = 4 ]]; then
### This is not a supported system
exit 2; ### N/A


Something went wrong with your system - it does not exit the script at this point.

What result do you get from the icapstatus command?

[Norman Dignard]

There is noting in /etc/rc.config.d for icod.
As for the icapstatus cmd it returns:
icapstatus -z
ERROR: The following low-level error occurred:

CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE: root/cimv2/npar

[Dennis Handly]

>Torsten: I think there is nothing related in /etc/rc.config.d/

Then it seems that you should swremove ICOD.

>### This is not a supported system
exit 2; ### N/A
>it does not exit the script at this point.

Why do you say that? exit 2 is probably a signal to rc(1m) that there was an error.

[Torsten.]

Here is the problem:

icapstatus -z
ERROR: The following low-level error occurred:

CIM_ERR_INVALID_NAMESPACE: root/cimv2/npar

Normally it should look like this:

# /usr/sbin/icapstatus -z
#
# echo $?
4

[Torsten.]

Dennis, have a look into the script - the procedure is even called "exit_non_supported".

;-)

[Dennis Handly]

>Torsten: have a look into the script - the procedure is even called "exit_non_supported".

Yes. My system exits and rc.log says SKIPPED.

[Torsten.]

Maybe worth to check:

# cimprovider -l -s
MODULE STATUS
OperatingSystemModule OK
ComputerSystemModule OK
ProcessModule OK
IPProviderModule OK
SDProviderModule OK
HP_NParProviderModule OK
HP_VParProviderModule OK
HP_iCODProviderModule OK

HP_GiCAPProviderModule OK

# cimserver -v

# cimconfig -l -c

enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=false
shutdownTimeout=30
authorizedUserGroups=
enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true
enableHttpsConnection=true
enableNamespaceAuthorization=false
enableHttpConnection=false

[Norman Dignard]

I'm afraid that this is not much help either.

# cimprovider -l -s

SDProviderModule OK

# cimserver -v

enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true
enableHttpsConnection=true
enableNamespaceAuthorization=false

[Torsten.]

these modules are missing

HP_iCODProviderModule OK
HP_iCAPProviderModule OK


can you check that on the other "working" system?

[Norman Dignard]

Perhaps your correct. One my otehr system I get:
root@nesadev/homeroot #cimprovider -l -s
MODULE STATUS
OperatingSystemModule OK
ComputerSystemModule OK
ProcessModule OK
IPProviderModule OK
EMSHAProviderModule OK
IOTreeModule OK
HPUXLVMProviderModule OK
HP_NParProviderModule OK
HPUXSCSIProviderModule OK
HPUXFCProviderModule OK
HPUXLANProviderModule OK
HP_iCODProviderModule OK
HP_iCAPProviderModule OK
HP_GiCAPProviderModule OK
SFMProviderModule OK
HP_VParProviderModule OK
HP_UtilizationProviderModule OK
SDProviderModule OK

cimserver is A.2.05. We had the same versions on the problem box but I could not resolve this icod problem so I uninstalled icod and installed 2.07.

Are these modules included in 207? Is there some other step I'm missing?

[Torsten.]

This is what I get from swlist:

# swlist -l file|grep -i provider|grep -i icod
iCOD.ICOD-COMMON: /opt/icod/mof/HP_GiCAPProviderClasses.mof
iCOD.ICOD-COMMON: /opt/icod/mof/HP_GiCAPProviderReg.mof
iCOD.ICOD-COMMON: /opt/icod/mof/HP_GiCAPProviderReg25.mof
iCOD.ICOD-COMMON: /opt/icod/mof/HP_iCAPProviderClasses.mof
iCOD.ICOD-COMMON: /opt/icod/mof/HP_iCAPProviderReg.mof
iCOD.ICOD-COMMON: /opt/icod/mof/HP_iCAPProviderReg25.mof
iCOD.ICOD-COMMON: /opt/icod/mof/HP_iCODProviderReg.mof
iCOD.ICOD-COMMON: /opt/icod/mof/HP_iCODProviderReg25.mof
iCOD.ICOD-RUN: /opt/icod/lib/libiCODProviderModule.1



So maybe there is something wrong with your icod bundle.

Run swverify and if needed swconfig \*

[Norman Dignard]

I checked the out and the same filesets are listed.
I reinstalled icod and get:

Ran swverify B9073BA and it fails for ICOD-COMMON and ICOD_RUN.
Running swconfig B9073BA I get 41 filesets already configured 1 failed. teh job shows the same errors as above.

[Torsten.]

interesting ...

Any errors for swverify over all products?

[Norman Dignard]

I ran swverify on the entire system and
it reported a few errors most of which I don't think have any relevance to icod.
In summary other than some file permissions/size/mtime issues (non icod/wbem) the job reported -

Not much help here.

[Torsten.]

It is not a serious issue on your machine, because you may simply delete the startup script, but anyway...

Prerequisites for icod are

WBEMServices.WBEM-CORE,r>=A.02.00.04.%
NParProvider.NPAR-RUN,r>=B.12.01.06.02

(my version is iCOD.ICOD-RUN,r=B.11.11.08.01)

So there is something wrong with 1 of these bundles.

I would try to install the latest version (dec 07) of icad, which is 08.03.

[Norman Dignard]

Reinstalling nparprovider resolved the problem

[Torsten.]

Good news!

How about assigning some points?
