Hi, I recently tried to increase the swap space on a hp9000/340 cluster and ran into a few problems. I did a backup, increased the swap and reloaded the system from tape. This was great, I thought I was ahead of the game. But I made 2 drastic mistakes, the second much more severe. First, I forgot to convert the new file system to long filenames before I restored the file systems from the tape. (Not too bad, didn't lose anything important) But I also forgot to convert the system to a cluster environment before restoring the system. (Makeing the normal file system into a '3D' file system) Consequently, I couldn't restore the cluster, just the root server. Not bad I thought, I'll just add them in by hand. So I did, and then I tried to do a 'ps' on one of the cnodes. It keeps getting an error trying to read the namelist. But when I tell ps explicitly to look to /hp-ux (with the -n option to ps) ps works fine, no comlaints, it returns what should be running on cnode. When I first added the cnodes, it thought it was already a cluster, and didn't try to convert it. (The presence of the /etc/clusterconf file) So I mv'ed it and It still wouldn't create a cluster. Since then I've restored all the '3D' files (I believe) but still nothing from ps. My question, if you some to accept this mission, is what does 'ps' depend on. (I thought it was just the /etc/ioctl.syscon file, but thats been restored and still nothing). Thanks for any help/suggestions you can provide. Greg Sylvain University of Maryland Baltimore Co.

> What does ps depend on....
/etc/ps_data, which should be a CDF, is one of the dependencies.
I read your note several times, and got a little confused, but it does
sound like you have some CDF problems. A list of what NEEDS to be a
CDF is in the System Administrator's manual.
