0038 - Automounter error messages


0038-001Cannot set up Amd directory /etc/amd. Exiting...

Explanation: amd_config will set up Amd by copying Amd files from /usr/lpp/ssp/amd into /etc/amd.

User Response: Make sure that the /etc/amd directory could be created. Also verify that the Amd files in /usr/lpp/ssp/amd exist and are readable so that they can be copied into /etc/amd.

0038-002Cannot set up /etc/amd/amd-maps directory. Exiting...

Explanation: amd_config will create the /etc/amd/amd-maps directory which is used for keeping the Amd maps. It will also copy the default amd.u map that is shipped with the Parallel System Support Programs into the amd-maps directory.

User Response: Make sure that the amd-maps directory could be created. Check file permissions on /etc/amd and /etc/amd/amd-maps to ensure that the default amd.u map could be copied into it.

0038-004Cannot set up /etc/auto/maps directory. Exiting...

Explanation: The default automounter configuration will create the /etc/auto/maps directory which is used for keeping the Automount maps. It will also copy the default auto.u map that is shipped with the Parallel System Support Programs into the maps directory.

User Response: Make sure that the maps directory could be created. Check file permissions on /etc/auto/maps to ensure that the default auto.u map could be copied into it.

0038-005Cannot set up /etc/auto.master file. Exiting...

Explanation: The default automounter configuration will create the default /etc/auto.master file which is used for specifying which directories the automounter is to control and their associated map files.

User Response: Make sure that the /etc/auto.master file can be created. Check file permissions on /etc to ensure that the default auto.master file can be created.

0038-006Error found while creating /etc/auto/maps/auto.u map file. Exiting...

Explanation: Errors were found while generating the /etc/auto/maps/auto.u automount map file from a previously existing Amd /etc/amd/amd-maps/amd.u map file.

User Response: Consult the error message list to determine the cause of the errors. The /etc/auto/maps/auto.u map file may have been created with some correct automounter entries. Verify that the information in the automount map file is complete and accurate.

You may need to manually convert some of the Amd entries before attempting to configure and start the automounter.

0038-007Error found while executing user_exit customization script

Explanation: The user_exit automounter customization script was executed and returned with a nonzero return code.

User Response: Make sure that user_exit is executing correctly and is returning the desired results.

0038-008Cannot execute file name. The file does not exist or is not executable.

Explanation: An attempt to execute the file name file was made, but the file does not exist or is not executable. This may be caused by an unresolved configuration problem.

User Response: Make sure that the automounter configuration command completed successfully. if you have replaced the default configuration with a customization script but have not replaced the other automounter functions with customization scripts, make sure that all required PSSP automounter configuration is done.

0038-010Problem starting the automount daemon.

Explanation: An attempt to start the automount daemon was made but the automount command did not complete successfully.

User Response: Check the automounter log file /var/adm/SPlogs/auto/auto.log for messages. Also, check the daemon log file /var/adm/SPlogs/SPdaemon.log for messages from the automount daemon.

Make sure that the automounter configuration command completed successfully and that the /etc/auto.master master map file is correct. Make sure that all automount maps listed in the master map file are correct.

0038-011The automount daemon is not running. Cannot be refreshed.

Explanation: An attempt to refresh the automount daemon was made but the automount daemon is not currently running. The daemon could not be refreshed.

User Response: Make sure that the automount daemon should be running at this time. Check the automounter log file /var/adm/SPlogs/auto/auto.log to see if there is any reason why the automount daemon is not running.

Also, check the daemon log file /var/adm/SPlogs/SPdaemon.log to see if the automounter daemon reported any errors. Start the automount daemon if necessary.

0038-012Cannot set up automounter directory /etc/auto. Exiting...

Explanation: amd_config will set up the automounter by copying files from /usr/lpp/ssp/config/auto to /etc/auto.

User Response: Make sure that the /etc/auto directory could be created. Also, verify that the automounter files in /usr/lpp/ssp/config/auto exist and are readable so that they can be copied into /etc/auto.

0038-013The file system file system is already in use by another automounter. Cannot start the automount daemon.

Explanation: An attempt to start the automount daemon was made but the file system file system is already in use by another automounter process.

User Response: Issue the mount command to get the process id of the automounter that is controlling the file system. Make sure no directories being controlled by that automounter are currently in use.

Stop the automounter according to the recommended procedures for that automounter. Start the automounter daemon either by running services_config or directly by issuing the /etc/auto/startauto command.

0038-020Cannot read input file: file name

Explanation: An attempt to read the file name was made but the file could not be opened for read access.

User Response: Verify that the file exists and that the file access permissions allow the file to be read by this command.

0038-021Cannot write output file: file name

Explanation: An attempt to write to the file name file was made but the file could not be opened for write access.

User Response: Make sure the directory and the file access permissions allow the file to be written to by this command.

0038-022Cannot append to output file: file name

Explanation: An attempt to append to the file name was made but the file could not be opened for write access.

User Response: Make sure that the directory and file access permissions allow the file to be written to by this command.

0038-023Cannot process Amd /defaults field: field

Explanation: While processing the /defaults entry in the Amd map file, a field was encountered that could not be processed by this command. The field will be ignored and the rest of the /defaults entry will be processed.

User Response: Review the generated Automount map file and make sure that the field can be safely ignored without affecting the desired behavior of the Automount daemon. You may need to modify the generated Automount map or master map file to produce the desired behavior.

0038-024new_value does not match previous field_name value of old_value

Explanation: While processing an Amd map entry, a second field_name was encountered and the new_value did not match the previous old_value. The Amd entry will be ignored and no corresponding Automount entry will be generated. The command will continue processing with the next Amd entry.

User Response: Verify that the input Amd map file entry had been previously created by the spmkuser command or the mkamdent command. If this Amd entry had been manually created or modified, it may contain fields that could not be successfully processed by this command.

Review the generated Automount map file and make sure that the field can be safely omitted without affecting the desired behavior of the Automount daemon. You may need to manually convert the Amd entry and add it to the Automount map file to produce the desired behavior.

0038-025Cannot process field: field
