problem with hostagent

[Sameh Roufail]

Dear All,
I have an rp2470 server connect using scsi cable to DS2300 disk system. I installed commandview and it works fine, I was able to see the disks and create a volume groups on it (i am running HPUX11.11). After two days I notics that the reboot take a long time to complete and it failed in hostagent and hostagent it also fail during booting. The hostname appear ok when i type #hostname and I get the right output when i use nslookup command but I can't ping the system using the server name also I can't run any JBOD command it return with error (time expired), I try to swremove the cmmand view to reinstall it again but the swremove didn't work because it wasn't able to connect to the server internally.
Please help !!!!!!

It sounds as if you have a networking issue, not a commandview issue.

What does the hosts line in your /etc/nsswitch.conf file look like? You probably should be querying files first and then dns or nis. Make sure the entry in your /etc/hosts file is correct for this machine (correct name and IP address).

What error do you get when you try to ping via the hostname?

Typacly something of network indeed.

Look if your systemname is known in DNS/NIS. This of course dependend on your nsswitch.conf

Also your routing table could be initialy wrong. If you look at the netstat -rn it should show you some more.

If you want us to think along it might be could to give us the following files :

/etc/hosts
/etc/nsswitch.conf
/etc/resolv.conf

output of :
netstat -rn
nslookup

for i in `lanscan | tail +3 | awk '{print $3}'`
do
ifconfig lan${i}
done
