kcweb - tunablw page is blank..!

[Sunil Kumar K.U.]

Hello All,

I am facing a strange problem with kcweb. When I start the kcweb tool and select the tunables, a blank page is displayed.Where as if I select other items like modules and Alarms, I can see respective items and do required actions on it. Has any one faced/solved similar issues?

I start kcweb as below. Login to the system using ac X-client (reflection-X). Start kcweb by typing #kcweb -F. The system management homepage appears where I login as root. I select kernel configuration. It appears as "Loading data.. Please wait.." and then a blank screen is displayed with the tunables, Modules and alarms tabs displayed. Surprisingly Modules and Alarms are visible when selected but not the tunables.
I have also noticed that when the terminal mode is used (by kcweb -t) tunables are visible and I am able modify them. Any clue?

Thanks for all replies.

May be your screen size isn't big enough to show them? Did you tried to increase screen size for the window which you are working?

Hello All,

Just to add-this system was recently installed from an ignite recovery tape. By the way, the system from where the ignite tape was created gives expected behaviour of kcweb.

Srini: as I said before only the tunables are not displayed. Other items like modules, etc are displayed properly.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Hi Sunil,

Did you get any solution for this problem?.Even I am facing same problem

[Sunil Kumar K.U.]

Hi sysadm,

So far I don't have a clue about any possible solution for this pblm.

By the way, what kind of an issue you are facing with kcweb-just to comapre the pblm behaviour.

Is there anybody here who have faced/solved similar pblm?

Thanks for all the responses,
Sunil

Hi sunil,
Even i have a doubt reg kcweb..bcoz in my sam for rx4640 hpux11i v2 i have only one kernel tuning option of kcweb.....Just let me know how many options of kernel are ther in ur sam window except kcweb.........

[Sunil Kumar K.U.]

Hi Dattu,

As you know, in HP-UX 11i v2 the kernel config tool is kcweb. It can be either initiated via sam or directly running kcweb with appropiate options (like -t for TUI interface).

So when you select kernel config menu in sam, what is being executed is kcweb only. In short, the only option what you see is kcweb utility and that is normal, I suppose.

Sunil,

Never seen it before, looks like the screen is fitting perfectly of both of the monitors for you and sysadm.

My recommendation, read this document from HP on troubleshooting kcweb KBRC00014506,
if everything seens just right there, I would recommend one of you opening a case with HP so they can get a team working on it.

Regards,

Jaime.

This is a known issue and is supposed to be fixed in the dec06 release. This happens if you are NOT using lvm on your system. Reason being is that kcweb uses info from kcusage, which if you run from the cli you'll see an error message displayed saying that it cannot read your /etc/lvmtab (because your not using lvm). So when you run it from the web you get a blank page. I just run a vgscan even though I'm not using lvm and it creates a blank /etc/lvmtab. Now my kcweb page works! Supposedly in the dec06 release you won't have to do this little workaround. I figured this out on my own so I can't point you to any other docs.
