User Action If the system has entered the kernel debugger, record the line of text at the bottom of the debugger screen on item 8 of the Problem Summary Form. Then, enter the quit dump subcommand to leave the program. The system dumps to the primary dump device, and the three-digit display changes.

If the system has not entered the kernel debugger or if there is no tty available, a forced dump to the dump device will occur (indicated by 888-102-700-000 in the three-digit display). If this situation occurred due to a reboot condition, see "Accessing a System That Will Not Boot .

Display Value c21

Explanation The ifconfig command was unable to configure the network for the client network host.
System Action The system halts.
User Action You will need to log on to the server or to another client with superclient privileges to perform the following:
  • Verify that the network is operating correctly by running the following command: 
    ping -c 3 ClientHostName

    ClientHostName refers to the client host that detected the error. If running the ping command reveals that the client host is connected to the network, use this command on other clients on the system to test thoroughly the status of the network.

If you are unable to correct the problem, contact your software service organization for assistance.

User Action You will need to log on to the server or to another client with superclient privileges to perform the following activities:
  • Verify that the client's root file system, which is /export/root/ClientHostName on the server, has been exported by the server. To do this, run the following command: 
    /usr/bin/showmount -e ServerHostName

    If the client's file system is not in the list, use a text editor to add it to the /etc/exports file. After you have saved the changes, run the following command to update the client's root file system: 

    /usr/sbin/exportfs
  • Run the following command to verify that the nfsd daemon is running on the server: 
    ps -e | grep nfsd

    If the system does not return any data, the daemon is not running and must be started using the following command: 

    /etc/rc.nfs

If you are unable to correct the problem, contact your software service organization for assistance.
