Enhanced security

HI -- we have a single-sever 5.1A development system on enhanced security for evaluation prior to
introducing onto a production cluster.
I have discovered that a web application used for connection to a database on this server no longer works (
and that the middleware is also  obsolete and no longer supported!).
Is it possible to revert back to base security while the app can be tested . The security documentation
doesn't seem to allow for back-tracking.Thanks.

Summary: Enhanced security

Thanks to John Lanier for quick reply
Solution is to check the 'base' security option in sysman and reboot at next convenience.

LSM problem

Hello all:

	We have a trucluster system with Tru 5.1a and LSM. We have 4 BA356
storage shelves configured in mirror. We have 2 storage shelves in mirror
with the other two. We had a problem with a power on one of the cabinets and
one disk of the mirror storage shelve became locked. We stopped the system
and the cabinets and unlock the disk but now I have the LSM volume with the
two disks in FAILING STATE. What can I do to solve this problem?

TIA

DS20E died

Hi,

I have a DS20E that just died. Power is ok but I do not get any prompt
on the serial console nor on the vga console. RCM reports everything OK.
The halt LED is yellow and pressing the halt button doesn't change
anything.

Removed each CPU ones but no change.

Any ideas?

Mvh.
Maurice

tomcat startup


  Hello all,

   My apologies if this is a bit application-oriented. I have been unable to
get a script to work that will start up the Apache tomcat server process on
bootup (i.e. using init). The script I have tried most recently works fine
on a Solaris machine, but not on Tru64 (5.1A  patchkit 6). The relevant line
in the init.d script (which also sets JAVA_HOME) is:

    nohup $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh >  /tmp/tomcat_start.log 2>&1 &

   The script works when it's called manually once the system is up, but
when invoked through init the process appears to disappear very quickly. 

  I have searched for solutions and tried various suggested in other circles
to no avail.

  Has anyone managed to do this? If so can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    TIA

Reading Vax/vms tapes on Unix

Hi,

I have an exabyte tape that I have been told was written on a vax. When I
read the tape on a tru64 v4 system using "ltf -f /dev/nrmt1l", I get a file
with the name "as_23mar94_s5.bck". When I look at that file with "od -c" or
"strings" it would appear to be some sort of backup, which I am assuming is a
vmsbackup format type backup, since it talks about savesets.

So I guess the question is does someone out there have some software that
will prise apart a vmsbackup tape that will run on DU 4.0f or latter.

I have tried compiling vmsbackup-v3.0 from freebsd, but it doesn't seem to
want to run. The compilation gives a warning "cast to pointer from integer of
different size", and I suspect that that might be at the cause of the
problem. Also running the program, reports that there is an incorrect block
header size of 256 (should be 280 ???, probably due to the change in word
size on the alphas from 32 to 64???). Anyway, it looks like it might be a bit
of a hack to get this thing to work.

SUMMARY: Fibre Channel Event error: emx_sns_get_portlist_done: GID_PT was rejected. Rsn = 9 Expl = a

Hi,

I got three answers from Johan Brusche, Dr Thomas Blinn and Raul Sossa Sossa. 
Many thanks to you.

After reading the answers, there are 4 things I want to investigate:

1) have a talk with the SAN-guy considering zoning (new zoning recently?)
2) reboot the server (just to be sure no transient electrical problem)
3) upgrade the emx driver (to be sure that it isn't the driver which gives 
problem)
The newest driver is v.2.14 
(http://h30097.www3.hp.com/unix/EarlyReleasePatch-download.html), but the 
server needs the PK6 installed.
Or just a driver which > 2.02; I could not find any from HP site.
(NB: according to Dr Blinn, HP does not release
these independently for older patch levels that are no longer supported, so 
you can't find it on their web site)
4) upgrade to PK6

Best regards,
Tuan

**************

Answer from Johan Brusche:
>You probably have "other" operating systems using the same SAN, and
>you have NOT used zoning on the switches to separate them.

Update: tomcat startup


Thanks to all those who replied: Tom Swigg, Joseph A. Senulis, John L.
Lanier, Zoong Pham, Bevan Broun - and especially to Oisin McGuinness who I
believe has explained what is wrong. And I apologise that I hadn't found his
similar response to this list before :-|

Here is his reply:

  
   " It is hard to be certain without seeing the details of the startup
script,
    but a common issue when moving startup scripts for applications
    that work on other Unixen to Tru64 Unix, is that the init process
    on Tru64 Unix will send anything started up by it a HUP signal
    after the startup. If your daemon (e.g. Apache is OK) can handle
    a HUP signal and either ignore it or reread the configuration file
    then that's OK, but if it is not handled, you have a problem.
    (Even though you have a nohup statement, I think you may find Tomcat
    is getting a HUP...)

    Very easy test: find the PID of your  running Tomcat server, and send it
HUP.
    If it goes down, you will need to add a signal handler somewhere.  "

 So, sending a HUP to my tomcat process does indeed prove that it cannot
handle it.

However, it isn't clear how to fix this, since init is running /bin/sh to
run
my startup script for tomcat, which in turn 'execs' the standard tomcat
