Operating Systems AIX Lose IP after TL Update
# 8  
Old 08-13-2013
I do not believe the activation of the IP stack should be dependent on any application. That said, I did have issues myself, and it came down to things I had done "in innocence", i.e. user error in changes to /etc/inittab and/or /etc/rc.d/* scripts.

In my case I did always get an IP address, just lacked some daemons such as ssh.

Besides rebooting several times to try and observe what was going wrong I also used the output of the command alog -o -t console and alog -o -t boot to read messages from programs to find that missing depenadancy.

Unfortunately, for you, I do not remember the specifics - this was too long ago. But I do recommend checking your alog outputs for hints about what is going on, error messages, etc..

Hint:
mkdev -l en0; mkdev -l inet0 will do what startup should have done (assuming single interface en0. If more interfaces do them all, then inet0.

NAME
rwho -- who is logged in on local machines SYNOPSIS
rwho [-a] DESCRIPTION
The rwho command produces output similar to who, but for all machines on the local network. If no report has been received from a machine for 11 minutes then rwho assumes the machine is down, and does not report users last known to be logged into that machine. If a users hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more, then rwho reports this idle time. If a user hasn't typed to the system for an hour or more, then the user will be omitted from the output of rwho unless the -a flag is given. FILES
