Entering into Run level 2 causes network problem.

[Senthil_Kumar]

I have a 3-node cluster. On one of the
nodes, When i execute
# init 2
to enter from Run level 3 to 2, the node
permanently goes OFF the network. Ping, telnet
- all don't work. I have to reboot the node
to fix the problem. (I could log on
through the cluster interconnect).
The problem doesn't happen on the other 2
nodes. Any idea on what is going wrong ?

I guess it is typical to stop network services and daemons when init level is changed from 3 to 3.

This is what I learnt from man rc2 and entries in dir /sbin/rc2.d.

You may want to chk. why the n/w services is not going down on other 2 nodes.

But why do you have to reboot the node 1 to get back on the n/w? Will init 3 not work?
