Hi,

We have installed one two new LPARS recently.Whenever if we restart these two LPARS following default services are not starting.

telnetd
syslogd
ftpd
Hostname is not coming after restart
Ip address is not coming after restart.

But if we start through HMC it is starting without any issies.

Please help us to resolve this issue.

The os version is AIX 5.3

Thanks & Regards,
BVIJAY

How are you restarting the LPAR when you are *not* using the HMC?

That's one of the strangest things I've ever heard in my AIX career.
telnetd and ftpd are startet bei inetd, syslogd by rc.tcpip (src in fact). I would try some base checks due the lost IP and Hostname is weird too.
Review the console messages and compare it to when you reboot via HMC, to read the console log use "alog -ot console" (redirect to file to have the old one after next restart to compare).
What says "lppchk -vm3"?
Any suspicious in the errpt?
Can you do dlpar on this machines?
Compare a lslpp -l with one similar fine working lpar.
Hope your installation is not broken :-/

Cheers seth

I'll echo the comment from dthacker. How do yiou start the LPAR if not via the HMC?

Whats happening is suggesting that the rc.tcpip is not being run. Are you doing some kind of maintainence boot instead, by accident?
