Problem Prevention
To troubleshoot a DCE cell:
1. To identify which virtual host you are going to work on, enter this command at an
OSS shell prompt:
/opt/dcelocal/bin/getip -n
This command displays the name of the virtual host, shown as hostname in the
remaining steps.
For each virtual host in the cell, repeat Step 2 through Step 8.
2. Verify that all demons are running. For example, enter this command at a dcecp
prompt:
ps -e | grep /opt/dcelocal.hostname
where hostname is the name of a specific virtual host. A response similar to this
one appears:
655753232 ? 2-04:17:18 /opt/dcelocal.hostname/bin/dced
102105132 ? 2-04:09:16 /opt/dcelocal.hostname/bin/cdsclerk
169213975 ? 2-04:15:59 /opt/dcelocal.hostname/bin/secd
1058406432 ? 2-03:58:31 /opt/dcelocal.hostname/bin/auditd
118882326 #pty00cb 20:43:26 /opt/dcelocal.hostname/bin/dcecp
823525382 ? 2-04:08:30 /opt/dcelocal.hostname/bin/cdsadv
991297557 ? 2-04:07:48 /opt/dcelocal.hostname/bin/cdsclerk
The list of demons that should be running on a NonStop DCE host can be found in
the /etc/rc.dce.hostname file. For example, at a dcecp prompt, enter:
grep ^daemonrunning /etc/rc.dce.hostname
and a response similar to this one appears:
daemonrunning()
daemonrunning $DCELOCAL/bin/dced
daemonrunning $DCELOCAL/bin/secd
daemonrunning $DCELOCAL/bin/cdsclerk
daemonrunning $DCELOCAL/bin/cdsadv
daemonrunning $DCELOCAL/bin/cdsd
daemonrunning $DCELOCAL/bin/auditd -a
