Sun N1 System Manager 1.3.1 Troubleshooting Guide

Solaris OS Management Server Unable To Start Jobs

If IPv6 is enabled on a Solaris OS Management Server, N1 System Manager jobs will not start, and the n1sh user interface is not available. IPv6 must be disabled for N1 System Manager to function correctly. Perform the following procedure to ensure that IPv6 is disabled.

ProcedureTo Disable IPv6 on a Solaris OS Management Server

  1. Log in to the management server as root (su - root).

  2. Type ifconfig -a6 to determine whether IPv6 is enabled.

    The IPv6 status is displayed. If IPv6 is enabled, the status contains the text UP and RUNNING. For example:


    # ipconfig -a6
lo0: flags=2000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 8252 index 1
        inet6 ::1/128
eri0: flags=2000841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2

  3. Disable IPv6

    To disable IPv6, you must rename the IPv6 interface files in the /etc directory and then reboot the system as follows.

    1. Type ls /etc/hostname6.* to list the IPv6 interfaces. For example:


      # ls /etc/hostname6.*
/etc/hostname6.eri0 /etc/hostname6.eri1  /etc/hostname6.eri2

    2. For each file listed in Step a, rename the file as follows:


      # mv /etc/hostname6.interface disabled./etc/hostname6.interface

      where interface is the interface used such as eri0, lo0, bge0 and so on.

  4. Reboot the management server.
