Hi Folks,
I am not an expert on AIX and I recently acquired a 43P from an ex-DBA so I can familise myself with AIX and build confidence.
Basically last week I have had probs trying to start the machine and an engineer came on site. He managed to boot it up without having to open the box ! Now I tried to started it up again this morning and I received an error message saying something like
Choose [OK] to return to login screem
Select Failsafe session from login screen option menu and log in
Check to see that the hostname is correct in /etc/hosts
and so on.
So I followed all tasks, and no probs on finding the entry on /etc/hosts. Then I ran smit mktcpip as instructed, and it failed !
error messages like
ifconfig: error calling entry point for /usr/lib/drivers/if_en: specified device does not exist
chgif: cannot get records from CuAt
chgif: ifconfig command failed
prob with command chdev
I do not understand what is going on?
I also ran errpt|grep en
and got error message
P H en0 ADAPTER ERROR???
Anyone shed a light in this please?
Thanking you all in advance
Regards
Katherine
