18 Verifying and troubleshooting containers
This chapter contains procedures for verifying and troubleshooting containers. This chapter addresses
the following topics:
NOTE: You can run system administration and performance tools (such as glance, gpm, kprof,
kgmon, ktrace, and caliper) in the global view.
18.1 Quick verification procedure
You can use the srp_sys command with the –l option (or –l –v for more verbose information) to
quickly verify the status of the subsystem data configured by HP-UX Containers.
The optional subsystems that you can configure are Compartment Login, PRM, IPFilter and IPSec. You
must configure all the other subsystems for the HP-UX Containers environment to function correctly.
If a subsystem is not enabled, use the srp_sys –enable [subsystem] command to enable the
subsystem. Refer to srp_sys(1m) for more information.
18.2 Troubleshooting scenarios
• Scenario 1: A non-root user is unable to login to the global view of the
HP-UX Containers enabled system.
Symptom: telnet or rlogin fails with the following error:
Compartment access check failed: User is not authorized to login to
the compartment associated with this network service.
Connection to host lost.
Solution: Only users in the group srpgrp are authorized to login to the system. Add the
user to the group srpgrp.
• Scenario 2: Installing a product update fails.
Symptom: The swinstall command fails with the error:
ERROR: Cannot continue "swinstall". The shared srp's must be in the
stopped state. container_name is in the started state.
Solution: Change the state of the container to stopped using the srp –stop
container_name command.
• Scenario 3: Installing a product update from a remote source fails.
Symptom: swinstall fails with the error:
ERROR: The source depot specified using a host target selection
(host:/path). Installing from a remote source is not supported
in SRP environment. To install from a remote source, either
mount it locally or copy the software locally using swcopy.
Solution: Installing a software update from a remote source is not supported in the HP-UX
Containers environment, the software must be available locally. To make the source depot
available locally, do the following:
o Use the swcopy command to copy the depot to the local system (see swcopy(1M)).
o If the software is in a media, mount the depot locally.
