CDE on console not starting ....

[vivek1712]

Hi All,

Recently we swithced to new FO network with Cisco 100 Mbps switches. Among our 2 ethernet 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Adapters one was previously configured as auto-negotiation & the other as 10 Half Duplex.

But after that we started facing problems in ftp (during putting some file from local pc to server while we can get a file from server to local pc) , running sql in CUI mode is giving error "ERROR at line 1:ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel".

We then configured 2 ports in cisco switch as 100 Full Duplex and changed our Ethernet Adapter ent1 as 100 Full Duplex , but from then after rebooting CDE on console is not starting , the problem in ftp & error in executing SQL query in CUI mode is also persisting .....

/.dt/errlog consists of :

Mon Dec 16 04:31:29 2002
dtsession: Unable to exec /usr/dt/install/oldrules/dtrmrules.driver.
[ENOENT (2)] A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

Tue Dec 17 20:03:07 2002
dtsession: Connection to server lost - exiting.

Tue Dec 17 20:03:07 2002
Workspace Manager: I/O error on display:: :0.0

Another thing is that ./dt/startlog is showing old date i.e Xsession is not started at all .....

Your thoughts would be appreciated,
Best Regards,
vivek

How is the console attached? Is it direct attached to the rs6k?

telnet to the machine and use df -k to see if the root filesystem is already maximized (at 100%)

As I know, all the CDE start problems come from the network configuration. Check /etc/hosts remove the old hostname or add your new hostname that displayes by hostname command at the first line. Try it.

Hi,

As sunnytiger already said, most of CDE start problems come from network configuration. And ORA-03113 is either a database server error or listener/network connection failure.
Did you change any parameter in your IP configuration (address, route) while switching to cisco ? Is your cisco well configured (vlan) ? Do you get any error in errpt ?
