swconfig

[Randy_9]

I have a "fddi" process running on my system (an old E45). I don't see any "fddi"
card physically and I don't see one via "ioscan". My goal
is to get it configured so it doesn't start. I've looked at the file in /etc/rc.config.d, but it is not a simple 1 or 0
setting. I think the system thinks it has a "fddi" card.
So I tried to look via SAM and get an error message when
trying to access the "Network Cards" section (see attached file with the error). The error message in a nutshell is saying to unconfigure the "SystemAdmin" product and then configure it back to resolve this SAM error. I am hoping correcting the SAM error will correct the "fddi"
process from starting.
I need help with the proper syntax for the swconfig command, I tried unconfiguring it via:
swconfig -u -f SystemAdmin
but it didn't work. So any help would be appreciated for both the unconfigure and config portions.

Thanks,

Randy

You probably have X25 filesets installed. Check it ..
# swlist -l fileset SX25-HPerf
If it returned something then you would need to first un-configure then reconfigure the fileset.
# swconfig -u SX25-HPerf.SX25-HPerf-SAM
# swconfig SX25-HPerf.SX25-HPerf-SAM

Note to S. K. Chan,

That corrected the error message,and I was able to verify that no FDDI card exists. Now why is there a "fddisubagtd" running? Do you think it will not start after the next reboot?.
Points assigned for the first portion!

Thanks,

Randy

Do/did you have OpenView monitoring your servers/network? fddisubagtd is an OpenView FDDI SNMP subagent daemon:

NAME
fddisubagtd - FDDI SNMP subagent daemon
SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/fddisubagtd

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION

fddisubagtd starts the FDDI SNMP subagent which handles the GET and SET requests for FDDI MIB.
The fddisubagtd works within the HP OpenView network management framework. The SNMP Master Agent sends requests for Management Information Base (MIB) values to fddisubagtd. The subagent replies with the information requested.

The fddisubagtd provides functionality to GET and SET various SMT 7.2 statistics.

As to whether or not it will restart upon a reboot, look in /sbin/rc2.d and see if you have anything that looks like S570SnmpFddi. If you do, I'm not sure if it will restart successfully based on the actions you've taken - but it will try to.

Ian,

Yes OpenView is running. I
thank you for the explanation
of this process. I'll assign points.

Thanks all,

Randy
