Troubleshooting

Problem:

The inetd invoked kernel takes a long time to come up.

Solution:

The user interface or vts_cmd call can return prematurely. You can reset it by determining the pid (process id) of the inetd process and sending a HUP signal to it. To do this, type:


  # ps _ale:grep inetd  
  # kill -HUP <pid>

Problem:

A device probe failed due to a problem in the device. If this occurs, information about the failed device is displayed on the command line.

Solution:

Fix or disconnect the failed device, reboot (boot -r), and start SunVTS again.

Problem:

If OPEN LOOK software is not installed, the TT (ToolTalk) session is not available to the SunVTS kernel. In this case, the SunVTS kernel is running but is not accessible.

Solution:

Install the OPEN LOOK software and start SunVTS again.

Problem:

If the SunVTS kernel is not running when vtsui is invoked, the user interface starts and indicates that the host name SunVTS kernel is not responding.

Solution:

Start the SunVTS kernel on the <host> system using the procedure described in "Using Other Commands to Start SunVTS" on page 34 in Chapter 2. Select Connect to from the user interface to reconnect.
