Hi all,
There was a pretty good reasen why the system did not let me start the lsm
daemons (nor any, for that matter): In /etc/sia was the matrix.conf file
missing... This is 'the security integration architecture config file' (see
the man page for details) Patchkit 3 was installed.
However, I cannot find a single reason why this file was missing.
At the point we found out about this missing file, I already had taken my OS
disk(s) out of the lsm configuration (by editing all related files, like
sysconfigtab, inittab, fstab etcetera and adjusting the fdmns directories)
Still not able to mount those disks (as advfs domains) I reinstalled the OS,
reconfigured them to be lsm disks, and all seems fine again :-)
What worries me, is that the visiting Compaq Engineer encountered the
(almost exact) same thing (the missing matrix.conf) on another tru64 v5.1
machine (also lsm configured) a couple of weeks ago.
I have no idea when something is considered a bug; anyone seen this before?
Then this could be very well one!
Regards,
Alex Harkema

Subject: lsm fails to start
Hi managers,
An ES40 running tru64 v5.1 crashed a couple of hours ago (w/o any warning)
At startup I had to attach a serial console, for the system did not go to
the graphics console. (just a blue screen, not the prompt)
A show dev shows all the devices an in el is nothing worrying.
Booting in single user mode succeeds, but after that I am not able to start
de lsm volumes!
ps -ef | grep vol shows "vold -k boot" running.
The system says that I'm not privileged to run voldctl or voldisk (!)
mount -u / succeeds, but lsmbstart gives:
vold not enabled for transactions.
vold -k -m enable doesn't solve anything.
mount /usr (or any other volume) says:
/dev/vol/rootdg/usrvol is an invalid device or cannot be opened
I also tried to boot from the os mirror disk (dkb100 instead of dkb0)
This doesn't solve anything. (all the same errors)
I have no idea what to try next.
Any ideas, hints?
regards,
Alex Harkema
