Telnet / SSH Connection is Badly Slow

[Ranjith_5]

Hi Experts,

Morning I set up an itianium server with Hpux version B11.23. I have connected a VGA monitor to the console and able to login. But I am not able to make a telnet session successfully. It takes almost 3-4 mins to get the login prompt for a telnet attempt. It used to timeout.Now After struggling for 2-4 hrs it started working but then as follows.

After issuing the command #telnet I have to wait for 2-3 mins to get the login prompt. And After typing the username I am again waiting for 2 mins to get the password prompt. Once the password is taking immediately and I am getting the # prompt.

Also Commands related to SAM takes a long time to run, viz; sam, swlist, swinstall, swremove. Seems like system is going to die.

Any imputs?

Hi

1)What is your patch level

2)swlist -l fileset -a title -a revision -a state -x show_superseded_patches=false
|grep -v configured|grep -v "#"

Should give no output

3)dmesg and the /va/adm/syslog/syslog.log file

any errors

4)/etc/resolv.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf

Almost certainly your name resolution is bad

Not much to offer except, I had this problem during a cold install of an 11.11 Kclass server. telnet was slow got faster than was very very slow.

I resolved the problem by installing the lastest patch and upgraded Online Diag and loaded the patch bundles that can on the Online Diag CD.

Right after any new install or upgrade early in the OS release cycle (first two years) I have to take the following steps:

1) Latest quarterly release if it exists.
2) Serch the patch database for sd/ux network and i/o patches, build a depot and install it.
3) put a proper nsswitch.conf file into production and restart the box.
4) Look at /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for further clues to the problem.

Actually I think the patch I used was PHNE_28841. Use the associated patch for your version.

Also check to make sure your domain is correct, resolv.conf.

Hi All,

Thanks for the responses.

I am waiting for the swlist command to give some output. Seems it ill take another 5 more mins!!! I shall post the result in my next post.

resolv.conf is present and nsswitch.conf is not present in the system

dmesg and syslog showing no problem.
