Hello All,

Trying to figure out why after system reboot, the startup files have problems? I first noticed the system hostname was not set.
I ran "set_parms hostname" and it seem to be ok, but after reboot it became "unknown" again. I took a look at the /etc/rc.log and noticed several other files in /sbin/init.d
were having problems also. Is there somewhere
on the system maybe a shell or something is not being set correctly ?

I know nothing, but ...

"ls -lL S*" might be interesting, too. A
link to nowhere won't do much. Comparison
with another, similar system may be helpful
(testdrive.hp.com?).

Are these things happening before /usr is
mounted?

> /etc/vx/lib/vxcommon: not found

That looks bad. What happened to it?

>Steven: Are these things happening before /usr is mounted?

Yes, that seems like the problem. On my system:
/sbin/rc1.d/S080crashconf@
/sbin/rc1.d/S091vxvm-nodes-check@
/sbin/rc1.d/S092vxvm-startup@
/sbin/rc1.d/S093vxvm-reconfig@
/sbin/rc1.d/S100localmount@
/sbin/rc1.d/S320hostname@

So I can't see how it would ever work in general. Only since everything is in / here, are there no rc.log errors for me.

That script seems all messed up. Instead of /usr/sbin/lsdev it should use /sbin/lsdev.

Perhaps Jerry shouldn't be looking behind the green curtain? :-)

Hello All,

One of my co-workers helped to resolve the problem. We found a new installation of
HP APA ( aupt-port_aggr ). Strange, but we had to debug the /etc/rc.config file, and noticed that the an error was comming from
/etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf ? Very wierd, but seems inside this file "" were missing

ex: HP_BTLAN_INTERFACE_NAME[0]="lan0"

System seem fine now.
