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 Access Concentrator software is installed
properly on the host. See the Software Installation Notes that
come with the Remote Access Concentrator software
release.
• The erpcd daemon or tftp server (which loads the
operational image to the Remote Access Concentrator) is
running.
In Test Mode, erpcd on the load server host displays boot progress
reports. In Monitor Mode, the Remote Access Concentrator displays boot
progress reports. The Remote Access Concentrator 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.
When running erpcd, all paths are relative to the /usr/spool/erpcd/bfs
directory for both boots and dumps. The /usr/spool/erpcd/bfs directory
is a default pathname and can be changed.
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:
# /usr/annex/erpcd –D5
2. Place the Remote Access Concentrator into Monitor Mode.
(This resets the Remote Access Concentrator, so warn users
before you do it.) Then, at the monitor prompt, enter:
monitor:: boot -v
