I need to edit the initialization scripts so they won't start a particular application on reboot or boot. Is this a unix script or application specific if it starts up with reboot? Any help would be great. This application is binding to a port that I need free for snmp and I can't have it bound...

What are the files in this directory for? I have one particular file that is over 100MB here and its called vmcore.0 is this just a core file or does it have some importance? thanks

SoleBlazer, You mentioned using truss to see where errors occurs, what exactly does the command truss do? Thanks

Is there a way to tell what processes are running on each cpu? If cpu0 is faulty than I want to see if it is actually working. Is there a way to shut off cpu0 without bringing down my entire box? I just added a cpu about 3 months ago but am unsure if it was in cpu0 or 1. What position is used...

I just looked into the messages.0 and found a lot of info but don't understand the errors. One thing I do see is that the problem starts with a cpu0 error and then I never see cpu0 re-initailize plus at the very end of the log its states "I have pasted the message below: Dec 8 16:38:08...

I have an E250 that runs sol 2.7 w/dual 400MHz with 1GB Ram. I have run into a problem that the box has crashed twice (unprovoked) in the last month. When this happens, the NIC loses the ip address, mask and gateway. Are there any error files or logs that I can look into? This is a production...

Not sure if anyone has had an issue of this. I run HPOV and another monitoring app on an E250 w/ Sol 7. It seems I am getting snmp traps conitunously dumped to the console. I want these wrangled and then tossed away. These are unimportant to me especailly on my console or terminal. Any ideas of...

I am trying to use a USR sportster 33.6k Is there a good site for modem strings? Any instructions on how complete this installation would be greatly appreciated. I had it set up (so I thought) but when using "tip" it would come back with a error "Can't synchronize with...

I just brought down my server (E250 running Sol 7) and added another cpu (exactly the same as the first) and more RAM. When I boot the system it comes up with a ton of errors and as a Read Only file system. I can't start an processes. I can manuver around the directories but it stays in the...

when I try the tip command I get an error stating can't synchronize with Hayes. What can I check to start correcting this issue. I am trying to connect a modem to my box and have yet to get it to work. What files should I have configured?

hello forum, I am going to be installing a 2nd Cpu and another 4 DIMMS to my Sun E250. I am adding 512MB RAM and another 400MHz Cpu. Is there anything quirky about doing this? Any special care I should take with doing this? Adjustments I need to configure for the 2nd Cpu? I have never added to...

Is the cdrom owned by any user? I cannot rm -rf /cdrom without an error that a file exists. no matter who the dir is owned by. I performed a reboot -- -r and I found nothing different. I did see that it was stating it needed a user "nobody" Does anyone know what that is for??? I...

neither of the last 2 replies worked. I started the volmgt and then tried the mount command but got this error: mount: /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 no such device I have to wait for the weekend to come around so I can bring the box down for a reboot. Let me ask this: When I do a reboot -- -r is this...

If I try and remove the /cdrom dir it gives me this error (no matter who is the owner) The drive is empty as well. #rm -rf /cdrom rm: Unable to remove directory /cdrom: File exists there is nothing underneath this directory # cd /cdrom # ls -l total 0

If I run the kernel -r command to probe all devices and then reconfigure the namespace in /dev as well as the physical namespace in /devices. Will this kill the processes running. I have some apps that are running and dumping to a couple different databases and I cannot afford to kill these...
