cvcd loops when it cannot connect to the host in /etc/ssphostname |
|
26 Jan 1998 |
If the /etc/ssphostname file gets corrupted on a STARFIRE domain, then netcon
will be unable to connect to it, getting stuck in a loop. When attempting a
netcon session you get the following looping errors from it:
cvcd host daemon unavailable
cvcd host daemon unavailable
Jun 20 14:47:19 Starfire1 /sbin/cvcd-(HOSTNAME:Starfire1):
connection request from illegal host
cvcd host daemon unavailable
cvcd host daemon unavailable
cvcd host daemon unavailable
.
.
.
NOTE: It is no use trying to boot single-user, as this is affected too!
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
There are 3 ways to fix this:
1) Telnet into the domain as root, then correct /etc/ssphostname.
(only works if you've previously commented CONSOLE=/dev/console out
of /etc/default/login AND the system is up enough to run in.telnetd)
2) Telnet into the domain as a user, su to root, then correct
/etc/ssphostname.
(only works if the system is up enough to run in.telnetd)
3) Panic the domain, boot net or boot cdrom, fsck & mount the root
filesystem, then correct /etc/ssphostname.
INTERNAL SUMMARY:
NOTE: When running training courses where user accounts are never set up:
To aviod wasting time booting from CDROM, always ensure that the domains have
CONSOLE=/dev/console *commented* *out* of /etc/default/login.
