I'm planning to migrate one of my systems tomorrow afternoon and I've been
trying to do a dummy run today to confirm it works OK and to check the
timings. Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
The source node is a 604 High node, running PSSP 3.2 and AIX 4.3.3 ML08.
The target node is a Silver Wide node, (previously running PSSP 3.1.1 and
AIX 433-06).
CWS is PSSP 3.2, AIX 433-08.
SPOT is at ML08.
setup_server completed with rc=0. SDR information looks OK.
When I run nodecond it goes pretty much as normal at first, but then it
hangs on LED E105.
I get the same result when I try a diag boot, and also when I switch back to
the original boot image and PSSP version, (that was still with a diag). On
one occasion, I got 4B24A110, but I haven't seen that again.
Console output, (for diag) shows the following:
BOOTP S = 1
FILE: /tftpboot/baup139e
Load Addr=0x4000 Max Size=0xbfc000
FINAL Packet Count = 9140
DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fff00700 at %SRR0: 0000d1c0 %SRR1: 00083000

Nodecond Status: network boot successful
Nodecond Status: bootp sent over ethernet
Nodecond Status: waiting for "Please define the System Console" menu
Nodecond Status: will wait up to 420 seconds
timeout waiting for "Please define the System Console"
Nodecond Status: finished
Install is similar.
I've had a search of the archives and came across some references to NFS
export problems. I've been through /etc/exports and checked with lsnfsexp
and found a couple of oddities, in that some exports were for
"root=baup139e:,access=baup139e:", (note the extraneous colons). I
corrected them and re-exported. I also added explicit root access for
lppsource.
I also found a reference to ethernet, so I checked: both the node's SDR
entry and the CWS are set to half-duplex.
The target node was running happily in production up until very recently.
Last time it was rebooted was about a month ago. There have been no
hardware errors as far as I am aware.
What am I doing wrong?
