Hi

Either restore from backup or else there is a copy in /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d.

Obviously if you use the copy from /usr/newconfig you will need to update with it IP address, hostname, gateway etc etc.

Which files are you trying to modify in single user mode??

Cheers

i want to do the changes for the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file, and the /etc/hosts file but the changes does not restored , and also the system can not reach the init 3 ,it only work on the init 2 , and i need the CDE , as the application work on it.

Hi

I'm not sure of your exact problem but if you've deleted netconf file then try this:

Boot to single user mode:
ISL> hpux -is

Mount /usr fileystem:
# mount /usr

Then copy netconf file to /etc/rc.config.d:
#cp /opt/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/netconf /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Update netconf file with hostname, IP address, Gateway etc.
Update /etc/hosts file if this also got removed.

Then reboot the server
# shutdown -ry 0

the problem that it does not take the changes i do,
is this is a cause of not mounting the /etc,
and the mounting command just "mount /etc"

[Con O'Kelly · Accepted solution]

No I don't think so.

If you are in single user mode the root FS (/) is already mounted. /etc is part of root filesystem.

You need to mount /usr so that you can use vi command.

Then copy netconf file to /etc/rc.config.d.

Then edit netconf file:
# vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

What message do you get after using ":wq"??

as usual i change the mode before to 744 so i can write to it , but manly do you think that the problem that i do not reach the CDE is due to this file problem

[Con O'Kelly]

Its very possible, I think CDE is normally started in run level 4.

If you don't have a netconf file, then none of your network interfaces are going to be configured, hence most of the services in run-level 3 and 4 cannot start.

I'd fix your netconf problem first and then trouble-shoot any remaining issues with CDE etc.

thanks for help , but please i need a quick help

[Shaikh Imran]

Hi,
At this stage i will advise you to run
#set_parms
and set the required networking parameters.
Once done reboot and try for CDE.

[Fadia Almarei]

using the set_parms will generate the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file

[Shaikh Imran]

Hi,
Yes it should.
Make a copy of existing.

and what about the interface cards,it will detect them ,or i need also to add them ,and i will add them how to solve the problem of editing and saving in single user mode or even in init 2 mode

[Shaikh Imran]

Hi,
You could set the ip adresses of lan cards
default gateways time server.. etc..
This is interactive pls run and check

Regards,

[Fadia Almarei]

can i run this command in single user mode or in init 2 mode

[Shaikh Imran]

Hi,

Yes you can try in either.

Regards,

[Fadia Almarei]

thanks guies for help ,your points help me to solve the problem , but one note to mister Imran that the netconf file can not created automatically when you are using the set_parms command the file must exsist first then i can exexute the command,thanks all
