problems with x-terminal Envizex II

[Heber Garcia]

Hi,
I have problems adding an xterminal to the server.
From Sam in the HP netstation tab, I have installed the xterminal succesfully.

I prove to connect to the server from the xterminal but shows a message like this "Error directives file not found "
Why ?
All seems to be fine.

Any idea ?

Thanks.

Sounds like the xterminal can't get to the file .... could be xterminal config , missing file or permissions ?

try remsh get config
remsh get log

what's the directives file it can't find ? see log output ? C##### ??? Is it loaded on the server you used xtadm on ?

Check the directives/ base path ..... on the xterminal via the config gui :
Terminal => Paths => Directives file from :

$(BasePath)/bin/,($Personality)directives ???

PS did you factory default the xterminal before adding it via sam/xtadm ?

check out Appendix B Troubleshooting in the Netstation Tech Ref guide ?

and make sure the xterminals not using a remote config file or looking for one : can check the config output or again look directly at the config GUI on the xterminal.

If all else fails try removing the xterminal via xtadm, factory default it and then add / configure it again ?

Ps any switches in the way ? if so try setting "Spanning tree" to the fast option if applicable.

try remsh reload

this will cause the xterm to reload its configuration from wherever it was pointed.

Maybe it is not pointed to the correct server.

Heber,

The error you are seeing, "Directives file not found" is caused when the Netstation in question is unable to load the /opt/hpxt/enware2/xthome/bin/directives file. This can be caused by a number of possible reasons:

1) Please ensure that you have the "Netstation" product version 8.0 or later loaded ("swlist netstation" will show this).

2) Please verify that the an entry for /opt/hpxt is in your /etc/exports file. If it is not there, please add it, and reread the exports file with "exportfs -a"

3) Please verify that the TFTP entry in your /etc/inetd.conf file is uncommented and allows mounting of the /opt/hpxt directory. It should read similar to:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd /opt/hpxt

4) Please verify network connectivity between the fileserver and your Netstation -- the "ping" and "remsh get config" are good diagnostics for this.


I hope this helps.

Hi,
I done :
Uninstall the xterminal from the server, then make factory default the xterminal and next re-install it in the server.

Now the problem is bigger, the xterminal doesn't boot and no show any message.

And the progress bar stops in the initial range.

Why ??
In the server there is another xterminal configured that works fine.

Any idea now ?

Thanks
