Re: TCP Problem with DR system -- MIDRANGE-L

It was a V7R1 "scratch" install on an 8202 E4A that included
C/A (Client Access) and before the package was installed
the system was functioning perfectly.
RSTAUT was the last step that was run.

Sorry to belabor this. I was just hoping someone had problems
involving TCP where a reinstall of all or part of it was done.

I just did 5770SS1 option 12 delete/add and reapplied PTF's and it still
doesn't work. No hostservers are showing. No communication except
for LAN console. I'm thinking I'll have to rebuild the system from
scratch this weekend...again! (3rd time).

What does it was working before including C/A mean - what procedure was
run
to "include C/A" ?

Have you run a RSTAUT since then ? (WAG)

If TCP was working can you detail what you did since then to make it not
work ?

Long story short is it is a well known journaling package
that required a scratch system and several procedures were
followed and that has led to what I think is an orphaned
system. The vendor can't get on the box because TCP
doesn't work and they don't understand what happened. It
was working before including C/A and now it's an island
no one can get to. Pinging shows access both in and out.

My thought was that I could find a way to get TCP back up
for further investigation by the vendor. I'm now considering
that the vendor does the install by cookbook and that whatever
went south probably isn't something they have a handle on.

So it looks like a long weekend and, by the way, the journal
transactions are building up on the production box.

Ok, so what was the recovery procedure you followed ?

If you try to start servers (STRTCPSVR) and prompt for server
application the list on the DR box is blank. No *BOOTP,

*CIMOM,*DHCP,etc.

It's like some file got corrupted or deleted and none of the servers

are

there anymore. My thought was to just restore TCP (5770TC1) but
I don't think that will help since that product is just the

connectivity

utilities not the actual TCP.

Hi

I don't understand your question all that well; I'm not entirely sure

what

you mean by "hostservers don't show up".

What recovery procedure did you run to build the DR system ?
Did your startup program run OK ?
Have you started TCP ?
Have you started Subsystem QSERVER ?
Have you run the STRHOSTSVR command ?

Did you need to remap hardware resources to line description ?

I could ask more questions hoping to ask "the right question" that

will

reveal what is wrong, or you could provide more information about what

you

did and what you are seeing that is not correct.

On a disaster recovery box TCP hostservers don't show up after

restoring

from the production box. The DR system was a complete working

system

before
the restore and now, while one can ping from the DR box to the

Production

box
no hostservers are shown and none can be started and client access

does

not work.
Given that something is terribly wrong with the restore, how can one
reinstall
TCP hostservers or is this even worth trying?
