unable to start nettl

[Neil Dixon]

When I try and start nettl on a D370 I get the following:-

mec171-root> /usr/sbin/nettl -start
Initializing Network Tracing and Logging...
nettl : Unable to detect the daemon process which receives
trace and log information from kernel subsystems.

netdiag1 is in the kernel. Anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?

Hi,
What is the output of /usr/sbin/nettl -status?


All the best

Hi,

The main daemon is "nktl_daemon" besides other daemon "ntl_reader".
The "netdiag1" is a pseudo driver.

It maybe a case the daemon is not getting started or dieing during initialization.

Do you see any error messages in syslog,dmesg? What you see
# ll /dev/nettrace
# ll /dev/netlog
Is the system is updated with latest nettl patches for respective HP-UX OS??

nettl -status, and ll output below.

If the problem persists, contact HP representative with the

I've tried running nktl_daemon by hand. It gives the following syslog error
Jan 13 10:08:51 mec171 nktl_daemon[14803]: Unable to open netdiag1 driver device file. errno = 22.
