UNIX Host on the LAN
When troubleshooting a UNIX host on the LAN, make sure that:
The host is booted and functioning properly.
The host can communicate with other network nodes using
standard UNIX networking features and utilities.
All Remote Annex software is installed properly on the host.
See the Software Installation Notes that come with the Remote
Annex software release.
The erpcd daemon or tftp server (which loads the
operational image to the Remote Annex) is running.
In Test Mode, erpcd on the load server host displays boot progress
reports. In Monitor Mode, the Remote Annex displays boot progress
reports. The Remote Annex displays its reports on the service port
terminal that invokes its Monitor Mode; erpcd displays its reports on
the UNIX terminal that invokes its Test Mode.
1 To place erpcd on the load server host into Test Mode, kill the erpcd
program (requires superuser privileges) and restart it using the –D
option:
# /etc/erpcd –D5
2 Place the Remote Annex into Monitor Mode. (This resets the Remote
Annex, so warn users before you do it.) Then, at the monitor prompt,
enter:
# boot -v
When the Remote Annex boots in Monitor Mode, the service port
terminal displays the load server host's Internet address, and
indicates whether it receives a response to its Open File Request and
to any of its Read File Requests. The host's progress report indicates
receipt of any File Server Requests and its responses to such requests.
