information.
Corrupt or Missing Configuration Database
Problem
The configuration database file (/var/adm/ipsec/config.db) is corrupt
or missing.
Symptoms
The symptom vary according to when the problem is detected. HP-UX
IPSec modules will log error messages to the audit log file and user
utilities will also display the error messages to stdout.
If ipsec_admin detects the problem (for example, when the user is
executing the ipsec_admin -start command), ipsec_admin logs and
displays one of the following messages:
IPSEC_ADMIN: ERROR-reads a DB config which is invalid
IPSEC_ADMIN: ERROR-Configuration database open failed:
reason
If ipsec_config detects the problem, ipsec_config logs and displays a
message similar to one of the following messages:
“Internal Database error. Please contact HP!”
“DB Exception: /var/adm/ipsec/config.db, line
n , Func name”
“DB Exception: /var/adm/ipsec/config.db, line n , Info 0x hhh”
