Troubleshooting
If you experience difficulty in completing the installation and getting the Origin
server up and running, the following checks might help locate the problem.
• Check Ethernet IP addresses on the Origin server and each Profile system hosts
file.
• Check Fibre Channel IP addresses on the Origin server and each Profile system
hosts file.
• Check the fcconfig setting for the IP address on each Profile system
• Check the fcconfig setting for the IP gateway address on each Profile system (it
should be the Origin server address on that loop for normal installations)
• Check the fcconfig setting for the hardware address on each Profile system.
Each hardware address must be unique.
• On the Origin server, check that you have an IP alias “myFC” for the IP
address “sgi_fc0”.
• Verify that fcping -all runs and all hosts can be resolved by name.
• Verify on the Origin server that ping to “YYY.YYY.YYY.255” sees all Profile
system Fibre Channel addresses on that Fibre Channel subnet
• If you have more than one Fibre Channel port on the Origin server, make sure
you use Class B network addresses on the networks attached to those ports.
If all routes are set up correctly and you still fail to connect the Origin server to a
Profile system via the Media Manager, try the following:
• Ensure that portmap and chgsrvr are running on the Profile system (should be
in pdrstart.bat). Refer to page 4.
• On the Origin server, verify that the partnames file contents correspond to a
valid dataset made by mkset .
Hint : There should be a default and Recycled directory in each dataset.
