Hello again, just thought it might be helpful to explain (in case it's at all necessary) how ipmp decides a card has failed. It pings (typically) a router on its subnet and waits ten seconds (this value is adjustable) for a reply. If it fails to get a reply five times in a row, it considers the...

Hi Thorkild, thanks for your help. Yes, there is a min value and a max value, in our case both set to 2048, and these values are visible in /etc/system and with the commands you mention. But the maximum value to which one can adjust rlim-fd-max is MAXINT, and that does not apear in the output...

Hi jmiturbe, the point about having both interfaces go through the same switch is that, in the case where the switch fails, there is no longer any path to the client/customer, so ipmp is moot; the configuration of it becomes irrelevant. In the case where a network card fails, then it's...

Hi, we may have a problem with the max file descriptors value (rlim_fd_max - Solaris 8, SunFire 12K) which is set to 2048. It seems that that number may be too low. One can set it as high as MAXINT. Question is, how high is that, and if that is different per machine, then how do I find it out...

The question I would ask right off the bat is whether or not the switch is a single point of failure. If so, then the cards will fail to do anything useful regardless of whether they have failed in terms of IPMP. Does each cable (from the cards in question) lead to the dodgy switch? If so, then...

Hello all. For a few days now I have been monitoring the load on a Sun E450. For those few days (maybe three) vmstat has been reporting between 29 and 39 processes as being swapped out. According to my training this is not good. According to my training, determing which processes are lost in...

Hello all, this is a wierd one. It must be because there is nothing on it on the web. prtdiag -v says, at the Environmental Status bit, "picl_initialize failed". picld is not running, but is there at /usr/lib/picl/picld and all necessary libraries are also there (I have compared...

DOH! lp -dlexqueue2 /etc/hosts. Ignore me. However, although no longer urgent since we do not require a setting for default destination, I would be interested to here any ideas on why I am getting that curious message from SAM "destination does not exist on :." Nirvana and eternal...

Thank you Ken and Clare, there was indeed no request directory (I wonder why not). It is now there and I have finally created a print queue (hooray!). This queue 'lexqueue2' is according to SAM enabled and accepting requests. When I try to print however, I get told that lp 'can't open default...

Thank you thank you Mewa, your suggestion has taken me a step further to Nirvana. The files pstatus and qstatus were missing. I created them and called lexprt again. Now I have a new error message. We love it. It is: mkdir: cannot access request: No such file or directory /usr/lib/lpadmin...

Hello all, I am trying to configure a Lexmark C720 as a network printer on a HP-UX 11.11 box. JetDirect (via SAM) produces the following error: /usr/lib/lpadmin: can't open printer status file. I have downloaded and installed Lexmark's driver package and then used lexprt, a nifty little setup...

Hello, I work in a company in Berlin. We recently upgraded a couple of servers from Solaris 2.6 to 8 and everything except Omniback works as it should. As mentioned in the subject we are using Omniback 3.1. The problem appears to be that on Solaris 8 Omniback only works when installed in an...

Hello. We have here at work a two node Sun Cluster 2.2 system which offers shares via samba to various Microsoft clients. Samba runs on the master node but not on the backup node. This makes the cluster solution a little redundant in the case of a failover; the shares will not be available. As...

Thanks guys, that did it, works perfectly now. I was looking at the solutions at the end of a long week and missed a couple of obvious things. Thanks again for your help. Toby

Dear Jad, Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, however the problem for members of sysadmin group remains. Additionally I am not sure how I should enter xhost +`uname -n`. I have tried a couple of permutations as a non root user. Did you mean xhost=`uname -n`?. I tried that too and it does...

Dear all, I can open admintool from the command line as root no problem, but as any user whose primary or secondary group is sysadmin I get the following error message: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorised to connect to Server Error: Can't open...
