ITO Installation Problems with Multi-homed Hosts
Installation of the ITO agent software includes distributing a nodeinfo
file to the managed nodes. This file contains information about the
managed node, such as the parameter OPC_IP_ADDRESS, used by the
management server to identify the managed node in communication.
The nodeinfo file is automatically updated when the administrator
modifies the IP-address using the Modify Node window.
You need to follow these instructions when you specify an IP-address
using the opcmsg(1) command to send messages to the management
server.
Use the netstat(1) command to check if a host is multi-homed. An
example of the HP-UX output follows:
# netstat -r

Problem The installation script inst.sh (1M) prompts for a password in an
endless loop, even if the correct password has been specified.
Description If no .rhosts entry is available for root on the managed node, the ITO
installation will prompt for the root password. If you have specified the
correct password and the message
rexec: Lost connection
is displayed, then possibly the management server is not yet known on
the managed node.
Solution Add the management server entry to /etc/hosts and/or update your
Name Server if one is used.
