5-14 CSMIM-T1 Hardware Installation Guide
5.3.2.1 Load Server Host Not Responding
The CSMIM-T1 can boot from one of the following hosts acting as a load
server host:
• A UNIX host on the network
• Another CSMIM-T1
• A VAX VMS load server host
• Any host (UNIX or non-UNIX) using tftp.
The following subsections discuss troubleshooting for some of these load
server hosts.
5.3.2.2 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 CSMIM-T1 software is installed properly on the host. See the
Software Installation Notes that come with the CSMIM-T1 software
release.
• The erpcd daemon or tftp server, which loads the operational image
to the CSMIM-T1, is running.
In test mode, both the CSMIM-T1 and erpcd on the load server host
display boot progress reports. The CSMIM-T1 displays its reports on the
console; erpcd displays its reports on the UNIX terminal that invokes test
mode. To view the test reports, do the following:
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. To place the CSMIM-T1 into test mode, hold down the SET UP button
for 3 seconds. (This resets the module, so warn users before you do it.)
Then enter:
Console monitor:: boot -v
