ss_update is not needed; however, your system will still show as an L1000-44 after changing the processors.

Josiah Henline · ‎08-03-2006

Are your UIDs the same on all of the systems?

Josiah Henline · ‎08-03-2006

You can change the terminal emulation on PARISC systems depending on the GSP revision. I had to do this a few months ago so that I could use my laptop. Do a "control-b", "he", then look for the terminal/modem setup.

Josiah Henline · ‎08-03-2006

Once the system can see the CPU, only HP can update the system information with ss_update. ss_update requires an HP only codeword.

tar tvf /dev/rmt/Xm |grep filename tar will have to go through the whole tape to see if more than one file of the same name exist.

/sbin/ioscan -fCprocessor This will list processors and is not dependant on anything other than a base OS install.

swlist -l product|grep -i ssh #to see what version of ssh is install or if you even have it installed. grep sshd /etc/inetd.conf #to see if you have ssh configured to run out of inetd grep ssh /etc/services #to see if there is a port, default for ssh is 22, reserved for sshd to listen on.

When the HP guys was out updating firmware on our rp8400, he stated that the Core I/O would have to be replaced if it showed zeros for the revision. You may need to place support call with HP. Josiah

Jeff may be on the right track here. I had issues with a fibre card in a V-class that did not support the fibre setup I needed it to.

From experience... HP has had issues with newer versions of OnlineDiags due to their lack of compatibility with legacy systems. When this incompatibility is realized, usually after its release, they fix the issues in the next version. This was the case when OnlineDiags was created for a SuperDome. It would show cell architecture in a system that didn't have it (like an N4000).

Congrats and thanks for all of your help! Josiah

Orlando, You may need to add the -a option to specify the 1m tape drive. -a tape_drive Specifies the tape drive device file that will be used for archiving by make_tape_recovery. Default is /dev/rmt/0mn (This option is equivalent to -d option in make_recovery) unless the /var/opt/ignite/recovery/default file exists on the system. -Al -a /dev/rmt/1m

Josiah Henline · ‎07-06-2006

Are the servers clustered? Do they share any common I/O device? If nothing else shows up from this trouble-shooting, moving off of the UPS may be the best "next step" for trouble-shooting.

Do a "more /var/tombstones/ts99" and see if there is a valid timestamp. Also, is there anything logged in /etc/shutdownlog. isr ior will be either a TOC or an HPMC. There may be some other panic message.

Josiah Henline · ‎07-05-2006

If you enable logging for inetd, ftpd, sshd telnetd, etc., you can impliment the use of an /etc/hosts.deny file. This will help but not solve your issue.

A good suggestion is to set PermitRootLogin to no. Also editing /etc/securetty to contain the word console will keep the root account from being locked out. This will make su or sudo the only ways to access the root account. If this is not an option you can set up a cron job to run "modprpw -k root" every 5 minutes or so.

Josiah Henline · ‎07-05-2006

You do not want to use sam or mount the file system read only if you want root to be able to write to the file system. Mounting a file system as read only take root write access away from the file system and root will only be able to read and execute.

Josiah Henline · ‎07-05-2006

Another possablilty could be: If you are using a SCSI connection to the Ultrium drive, the speed of the SCSI card may need to be changed to match up the the Ultrium drive. Do an "ioscan -fnH0/3/1/0" and paste it please.

The drive can be hot-swapped if it shows as unavailable in a vgdisplay. vgdisplay -v /dev/vg01|more --- Volume groups --- VG Name /dev/vg01 VG Write Access read/write VG Status available Max LV 255 Cur LV 1 Open LV 1 Max PV 16 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 <- the drive must show to not be available. In this case it must be a 1 and not a 2.

Total PE 4340 Free PE 0 Autoswitch On Also, if your system is 11.0, it is a good idea to reboot the system off of the mirrored/good root drive before replacing it. From experience, 11.0 at some LVM patching levels can cause inode corruption if the primary root disk is hot-swapped.

HP operates on the N+1 concept. This means that the system can lose one and keep going; however, that is for a fully loaded system. If you are not running a fully loaded system, you may be able to run on two power supplies.

Josiah Henline · ‎06-29-2006

Is the system loaded with processors?

Josiah Henline · ‎06-27-2006

Run SL to show logs. You may find that you really have a hardware issue. HP support can help to see if you have a hardware issue. You can also paste any MP errors in the forum.

Josiah Henline · ‎06-27-2006

This drove our networking folks nutts when we went from 11.0 to 11.11. You can write a script that does a netstat -rn and looks for the default route. netstat -i $(netstat -rn|grep ^default |awk '{print $5}') MACADD

Josiah Henline · ‎06-27-2006

Don't forget that you can also set your backup NIC to fail to a stand-by. That way if there is a lan failure, there will be less urgency because the backup will still complete.

Josiah Henline · ‎06-27-2006

That will work and provide good redundancy. Make sure that the primary and stand-by lans go to different switches. That applies to both nodes.
