Re: [nv-l] daemon could not startup.....

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

The major failing daemon here is ovtopmd.  Those marked "never run" cannot 
start their predecessors do, and netmon requires ovtopmd, for example. The 
/usr/OV/conf/ovsuf file will show you the predecessors for each daemon.

Did you use netnmrc or plain old ovstart to start the daemons?
If ovstart by itself from the command line, then my guess is that you did 
not have the Tivoli environment sourced and ovtopmd does not know where to 
find his libraries. Stop them all with "ovstop nvsecd" and try starting 
them with "/etc/netnmrc" so that the proper environment is sourced. 

If that doesn't work, then try running ovtopmd from the command line,
        /usr/OV/bin/ovtopmd
and see whether you get an error message

Often times, an exit 1 can be the result of a library path error, which 
the first case will take care of, or a bad option in the ovsuf file.  If 
you have made changes there recently, you might want to review them.

If all else fails, call Support

Dear all,
   Attached is the netmnrc.ovstart which is the log of ovstart command. It
seems ovtopmd could not successfully start after a long waiting startup
time, then netmon and some other daemons never run. Where and how can I
find the trace log to fix the problem? please advise, thanks a lot.
