dependency require_all/none svc:/network/physical (maintenance)

UNIX Solaris

I am using telnet instead of ssh because network/physical service is on maintenance mode. I can ping google and other internel machines. I can't ssh to this server because network/physical is dependency of ssh.

How can I fix this service. I can use network service but it is maintenance mode. why? I am waitting your kindly helps.

This might help finding the root cause:

svcs -xv

I did before. What the actions can help me. command outputs are below :confused:

Are you using Solaris 10 or 11?

Have you tried assigning a different IP to the NIC? Are you sure that the IP configurations are persistent over a reboot? I am asking this as you may setup NIC using ifconfig. But the changes are not written on files. So when network/physical service tries to read the files, it does not get the updated info. Meanwhile, you can ping, etc. without any issue.

By the way, the other services will automatically start to run (if they are already enabled) once the network/physical service gets online.

My friend, Thats true, I did manually network configuration when server is rebooted. But I am right configuration like below. I don't know. All of the network files are right. What is the main problem!.:confused: I have one NIC.

Thanks! Everything seems to be fine. Looks like we need to give the service a little push after cleaning up things. Could you please execute these commands and check?

svcadm clear network/physical
svcadm refresh network/physical
svcadm restart network/physical

I ran related command but all of the ip configuration is reset. After than I realize that my /etc/hosts file is not right configured. :eek:

before :

bash-3.00# cat /etc/hosts
#
# Internet host table
#
::1     localhost       
127.0.0.1   MRBT    localhost       
192.168.20.36   MRBT    loghost
bash-3.00#

now:

bash-3.00# cat /etc/hosts
#
# Internet host table
#
::1     localhost       
127.0.0.1       localhost       
192.168.20.36   MRBT    loghost
bash-3.00# 

127.0.0.1  (MRBT is unnecessary)     localhost

Who wrote this word? This is terrible. :wall:

Thanks for help dud.:b:
