SunScreen 3.1 Release Notes

Screen Will Not Come Up When Removing an Interface From Screen (4330437)

Synopsis: Screen will not come up when removing an interface from a Screen.

Description: When you physically remove an interface from the host or change the Solaris network configuration and reboot without first removing the SunScreen Interface object definition for that interface, the Screen will not work. This happens when the interface that was removed has already been defined in the Screen.

Workaround: The following steps explain how to fix this problem:

  1. Log onto the console of the Screen as root.

  2. Type the ssadm edit command to remove the offending Interface object from your SunScreen policy.


    # ssadm edit Initial
    	edit> delete interface qfe2
    	edit> save
    	edit> quit
    


    Note -

    See Appendix B, "Command-Line Reference", in the SunScreen 3.1 Reference Manual for more information on using the command-line interface.


  3. Type the ssadm command to activate the policy.


    # ssadm activate Initial
    

  4. Reboot the system.
