IP stack not brought up at all at boot, what can it be?

[Romaric Guilloud]

Hello out there.
Rebooted a rp8400 server right now and the IP stack is not brought up at all:

miller3 >netstat -i
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll
lo0 4136 loopback localhost 14675 0 14675 0 0


The linkloop between lanics on the same network is OK, the switches are OK (good lan, god speed, everything ok on this side), there is just NO IP stack att all.

The lanics are brought up with correct driver, speed, full duplex settings specified in /etc/rc.config.d/hp*conf* config file as well.

lanics are CLAIMED at ioscan and up at lanscan and OK in lanadmin too.

However, in rc.log I have no trace of /sbin/init.d/net start either and if I launch it by hand I get a error code 126.
What does it means?

miller3 >/sbin/init.d/net start
miller3 >echo $?
126

WHAT CAN IT BE?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,

Romaric.

Hi,

1. Try # /sbin/init.d/net start

2. Please check your netconf file(or post it if you are not sure).

3. Can you # ping localhost ?

Hello Marcel.
1.net start produces error code 126. what does error code 126 mean?
2.netconf is ok for sure.
3.doesn't ping.

Any idea?

Romaric,

What messages are in your /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file?

What shows up in your /etc/rc.log file?

Thanks Marcel,
Finally found out it was an issue with the /sbin/init.d/net file integrity.
Thanks again.
Rgds,

Romaric.
