hp ux not booting after adding files to init.d

[farorun]

After entering those commands, hp-ux server is not booting:

1- Extract zabbix_agents_1.1.1_HP-UX11.11_PA-RISC.tar Files to /etc/zabbix ( You can download the file from Zabbix Website)

2- Copy zabbixd to /etc/rc.config.d

3- Copy zabbixd_script file to /sbin/init.d

4- rename /sbin/init.d/zabbixd_script to /sbin/init.d/zabbixd

5- Copy zabbixd to /etc/rc.config.d

6- ln -s /sbin/init.d/zabbixd /sbin/rc3.d/S900zabbixd

7- ln -s /sbin/init.d/zabbixd /sbin/rc2.d/K100zabbixd

What means not booting?

Hung?

ssh to the system (if running on network now) and look inside rc.log, maybe the script get hung.

[farorun]

System returns this error messages while booting and then hungs:

[Torsten.]

As said, look into rc.log and search for the error.

[farorun]

I cannot log in to the system, as i mentioned before system returns those errors and stucks while booting

[Torsten.]

I assume network is started, so try telnet/ssh if you cannot access the console.

[farorun]

Netowrk is not started, server is unreachable. I cannot login neither directly nor by ssh/telnet

[Torsten.]

bring the host down, start in single user (hpux -is), then read /etc/rc.log.

Then do "init 1", once done do "init 2". Read rc.log again.

Capture the session from the beginning!

In your earlier post:

>> System returns this error messages while booting and then hungs:

the more interessting part is missing, what starts were successful before the error appears?

[Robert Herron]

The problem is most likely the /etc/rc.config.d/zabbixd file you copied over.  Many of HP-UX's RC script source in all files from /etc/rc.config.d via the /etc/rc.config script.  Either you accidentially copied the zabbixd_script file to /etc/rc.config.d/zabbixd or file is otherwise corrupt.  Whatever ever it is, it's causing the RC scripts to abort/error.

Boot to single users as Torsten suggested then remove the /etc/rc.config.d/zabbixd file.  The server probably will boot properly now -- minus zabbix starting.  If so, thoroughly examine the /etc/rc.config.d/zabbixd file.  It should have only a small numbers of lines in it (e.g. "ZABBIX_HOME_DIR=", "ZABBIX_START=[0|1]", etc -- maybe just the ZABBIX_START).
