Host servers not starting... what am I missing?

[PMSLIC]

Last year we added a second partition to our as400. We are on V5R1. The guy who installed it restored the systems files/libraries from our primary partition.

I've been trying to get Client Access running on it. The problem is that the host servers aren't starting. I've tried running strhostsvr *all. Unloaded and reloaded host servers and client access to no avail.

Below is a spool file for one of the errors generated buy I have no idea of where to begin. Can anyone help?

when you say the host servers are not starting,,,, why do you think that,,,, can no one log on, or what??

When I use the netstat command then take option 3 Work with TCP/IPconnection status I get the following:

None of the host servers I need for Client Access are running. Like as-central, as-database as-file etc.

I've reinstalled the client access licensed program and the host servers

 

[PMSLIC]

Oh and to answer your question No I cannot log on. The original post has the log with the error for one of the servers when I try to run STRHOSTSVR

How did he dupe the primary? Did he do a system save and then a restore? It looks like for some reason it can't find a file

Yes we did a system backup and he restored from tape. I did find a forum entery on another board where a guy had the same problem when they restored from tape. They were doing a disk upgrade and reloaded from tape. But their message threads stopped at one person suggesting looking for a ptf.

When I start a host server it puts the previously listed error message in QUSERs outq. It clearly says it can't find a directory or file and cant make the directory... but it doesnt say where.

I've tried uninstalling HOST SERVERS, and the CLIENT ACCESS modules but that doesnt fix it. I guess I could try the TCP/IP module next.

I'm fairly new to all this and since I can telnet to the partition in question it hasnt been a priority but I'd still like to get it figured out so I can manage it with Operations Navigator.

 

[jmd0252]

I'll ask a stupid question. Do you subscribe to IBM software support?? If you do,,,then place the call. I have never worked on a machine that had partitions. Also,,, check the IBM Redbooks,, see if you can find out how you switch between the logical machines.

 

[PMSLIC]

No. We don't have software support. The second partition acts just like another machine. I an ipl it and it doesnt affect the primary. Since its like another machine you just set client access up to attach to that host. Only the server daemon wont come up. I'll have to look for a ptf.

 

[iSeriesCodePoet]

Hmm... my only other suggestion is to post to the midrange.com mailing list and ask them or search their arcives. There might be some help there.

[jmd0252]

ok,,,,, you are running tcp/ip over the network for connection, I assume. I cannot remember,,, but does the IP address,, point to only one partition, and not the other??

 

[fxmulherin]

I upgraded 10 of our disk drives to higher capacity drives, and it required a Save Option 21 prior to the hardware swap, followed by a full system disk reformat and a Restore Option 21 restore.
Now, my users can't start a 5250 session using Client Access. We can ping the box, and can also use STRPASTHR to get to this 400 from another 400 that we have on the network. Telnet works also.
We are getting the same results from STRHOSTSVR *ALL that you are getting. The 'as-' services are not starting.
I am VERY interested in how you resolved the problem at your company.
Please let me know anything that you discovered.

 

[PMSLIC]

I never did. We use the second partition for testing and since it's not a critical system so we just telnet to it. Somewhere along the line I had found something that described the problem but have since lost it. But it said that if you restored from tape was when the problem results. I don't have enough experience to reinstall it from the system cd's. I asked my boss that the next time we upgrade that they reinstall it from cd instead of restore it from tape. Highly doubt she'll listen.

 

[fxmulherin]

PMSLIC, we found the solution!

Here's how you determine if our solution works for you:
Execute the following command: CHKPRDOPT 5769SS1
This command will take a few minutes to complete. After it does, execute GO LICPGM, and take option 10. Scroll down the list, and if your problem is identical to ours, you will see ERROR next to Extended Base Directory Support. The ERROR indicates that the licensed program was not successfully restored. To resolve the problem, do the following: (You will need to put the system into a restricted state).

First, verify that system value QIPLTYPE is set to '0'.
Sign on as QSECOFR - this is mandatory
From the console, enter ENDSBS *ALL *IMMED
Load the Operating System CD number 02.
From the GO LICPGM menu, take Option 11 - Install licensed programs.
You should see your offending license program with a '1' already inserted into it. Hit Enter.
Press Enter to confirm your choice.
Enter your optical drive (i.e. OPT01), a '1' to Programs and language objects, and a 'Y' for Automatic IPL.
This will install the license program, and IPL your system.

This will resolve your problem immediately. You will need to apply a PTF cume to get current. I will get back with you on the exact cume number.....I left it in the office.

Good luck, and let me know if this fixes your problem. I feel sure it will! And yes, I expect to be put on your Christmas card list!

 

[fxmulherin]

The PTF cume is C2169450 (2 CDs).
