1 Troubleshooting SCR+DMI

for HP-UX

This document describes steps you can take if SCR+DMI for HP-UX is not running

properly.

Step 1. Ensure that DCE/RPC is running correctly on all the systems involved

• Check for the necessary daemons, and restart them if necessary.

Run the command, ps –ef

The output should include the following daemons:

— For DCE on both the server and the client node(s):

root46910 Sep 27?1:51/opt/dce/sbin/rpcd

— For DMI on both the server and the client node:

root2717310Oct 4?4:21/usr/dmi/bin/dmisp

root272410Oct 4?0:35/usr/dmi/bin/hpuxci

root2719510Oct 4?2:18/usr/dmi/bin/swci

— For SCR on the server:

root73731016:23:52?0:00/opt/scr/lbin/scrdaemon

• Check that you have the required software and patches. Refer to the README for

the release of HP-UX you are working with. The patches assume a base level of the

HP-UX Applications Release distributed 7 June, 1999.

IMPORTANT The DCE patches must be loaded in numerical order.

Step 2. Verify entries in the file /var/dmi/dmiMachines. This must be done on each client and

on the server.

• A hostname or an IP address can be used for each machine (each network card in a

machine needs to be listed) in the file.

• On each client, the file must include an entry for each network card on the client and

each network card on the server.

• On the server, the file must contain an entry for each network card on the server and

each network card on each client.

Step 3. Verify that DMI is working on both the server and all clients. If any of the following four

steps fail, DMI is not working correctly. SCR cannot work correctly if DMI is not working

correctly.

1. Launch the DMI browser by executing /usr/dmi/bin/browser

Troubleshooting SCR+DMI for HP-UX

Chapter 1

A task dialog labeled “MIF Browser” will be launched. An icon with the system name

should be in the dialog.

2. Double-click on the icon with the system name.

The contents of the dialog should be replaced with three icons labeled:

•DMI 2.0 Service Provider

•HP-UX Standard Groups Definition

•HP-UX Installed Software Definition

3. Double-click on the HP-UX Standard Groups Definition icon. Multiple icons should be

displayed with labels including:

•General Information

•Operating System

•Host System

4. Check SCR on the server.

Run /opt/scr/bin/scrstatus

The output will list a time, a node name, the status on that node and details. Possible

results include the following:
