Service Control Manager setup error

[Lucien Wolfs]

Hi,

I'm having difficulties setting up Service Control Manager on the CMS.
The mxsetup program returns with:

=========== Begin mxsetup ===== Wed May 15 09:44:32 METDST 2002 =============

Checking for a lock file...
Created the lock file: '/var/opt/mx/logs/scmgr-setup.lock'
parsing command arguments.
Beginning setup option.
Checking current system state for potential conflicts with SCM.
The version of Netscape Directory Server on this system is 04.13.
ERROR: Cannot retrieve a fully qualified hostname from the
hostname resolver for this node: 'mysyst'.
Servicecontrol manager requires a fully qualified hostname for the CMS.
Please refer to the Installation manual.
It appears that the current state of this system may cause
Servicecontrol Manager to fail.

Please make the necessary adjustments to the system
before running mxsetup again.

ERROR: System state failed validation check.

ERROR : Servicecontrol Manager Setup Failed.
Removing the lock file.



When I do a nslookup:

......
Name: mysyst.abc.def.com
.......

This works, but for some reason not for mxsetup.

Who can help ?

Thx.

what does:
nslookup hostname give?
Then
nslookup ip address

do they match

There might be a mis-match between what mxsetup returns as the hostname vs what nslookup returns. Both have to match in order for it to work.
Try to run ..
# cd /opt/mx/lbin
# ./mxgetlocalhostname

and does the result match exactly what "nslookup" returns ? Run "nslookup" for the hostname and the IP address.

If they do not match your DNS DB has to be updated.
