Visual Vectors - Could not find server 3

[telcomwork]

Looked up several threads on this and tried the following:
I have tried to:

1. oam stop

2. oam start

3. restart VVS

4. Delete all files in /opt/OrbixMT/config/RepositoriesNamesRep

Still can not connect. Any other ideas to connect?

My issue is the verison of Visual Vectors doesn't support variables in vectors so it's hanging on startup and never finishes initializing even though it states it's started.

Try the following steps.

1. Check the /etc/hosts file and check the hostname of the IP address you are using to connect to. Count the length (number of charcters) of the hostname.
2. Edit the /cms/aas/admin.dat file and set the number on the second line to the length of the hostname. Also verify that the hostname on the third line (between the quotes) is correct.
3. Run setupaas and turn off visual vectors.
4. Edit the /etc/inittab and for all processes run from /opt/OrbixMT/bin directory change the word respawn to off
ie. Change the following lines

from
ob:0236:respawn:/opt/OrbixMT/bin/orbixsh < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1
ns:0236:respawn:/opt/OrbixMT/bin/nssh < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1
to
ob:0236:off:/opt/OrbixMT/bin/orbixsh < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1
ns:0236:off:/opt/OrbixMT/bin/nssh < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1

5. Re-initialize you inittab by entering the command;
init q
6. Kill off all aas processes by entering the command;
kill -9 `ps -e|egrep "java|Orbix|aas"|awk '{print $1}'`
7. Remove all naming repository files by entering the command;
rm /opt/OrbixMT/config/Repositories/NamesRep/*
8. Edit the /etc/inittab and for all processes run from /opt/OrbixMT/bin directory change the word off to respawn (opposite of step 4).
9. Re-initialize you inittab by entering the command;
init q
10. Run setupaas and turn visual vector back on.

TY. The switch is setup to use ViV and the release of server software on the Unix box was not able to handle ViV. I had to rip it out and re-install a later release but I'll keep your feedback in my handy dandy word doc!!

Thanks for the great info worked like a charm.
