If the SAM-QFS Manager software cannot communicate with a server, a Down icon is displayed next to the server in the browser interface. There are several reasons this might occur:
The SUNWqfsr and SUNWqfsu packages or the SUNWsamfsr and SUNWsamfsu packages might not be installed on the server or they might be at incompatible release levels. Search for these packages on the server to verify that they are installed. For information about compatible release levels, see Incompatible Software Release.
The SAM-QFS Manager daemon (fsmgmtd) might not be running on the server. Do the following:
On the server, use the fsmadm(1M) status command to check whether the daemon is running.
If it is not, manually restart the daemon by typing the following:
/opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/fsmadm restart
You can configure the daemon to start automatically by using the fsmadm(1M) config -a command on the server.
The rpcbind process might not be running on the server. Do the following:
Log in to the server as root.
Restart the rpcbind process by typing the following:
/usr/sbin/rpcbind &
The management station might not be able to remotely administer the server. All hosts that are listed in /opt/SUNWsamfs/sbin/fsmadm on the server can remotely administer the server. To add the management station to the list, log in to the server as root and use the fsmadm(1M) add management-station-name.domain-name command.
The server is unavailable, it is not connected to the network, or the network itself is unavailable. Check the server’s cabling and investigate any possible networking issues.
