Hi Amignom,

Could you check the

/etc/r.config.d/netconf

/etc/rc.config.d/hpbase100conf

for errors.

check if the speed and duplex are ok.

Best regards,
Robert-Jan

Hi

I think you would have checked the basic network issues like the speed setting, the netmask ,also you would want to check with your network team if any setting was changed on the switch side.

Thanks,
But the system is no more started,
It is still tring to start some network services. So I need to cancel starting network at the system booting .

Thanks

Yes, or if it is not possible reset the server and boot in single user mode.

mount the filesystems

# mount -a

go to the /etc/rc.config.d/ directory and check the netconf and hpbase100conf files.

Best regards,

Ps. do not leave a copy of the files in the /etc/rc.config.d directory, if you make copies move them to a home dir or temp dir.

The system is no longer starting because it can't reach an nfs server, in addition to checking/fixing the network setting You might also want to consider some changes in Your fstab, because it seems You're running with default settings.

You can add the option soft,bg or hard,bg depending on the applications accessing the nfs mount.
(hard will retry a request almost infinite for transaction safety, and soft will simply return an error which the application has to handle.)
bg in any case sets those request to happen in the background, which will make the system behave a bit more 'friendly' when nfs issues occur.

there is a manual by hp, I think it's called administering ARPA and NFS services which has all possible settings.
