What makes you think it should be a directory ?

Hi,
I thought it to be a directory wherein I could compare the contents between two zones; one which giving error & one which is working fine.

But, after realizing that its a file, I looked into its contents. However, i could not make out the changes I should do over there.
Theres just 4 uncommented lines, as attached in my previous thread.
For ur quick ref, they are:
ap::sysinit:/sbin/autopush -f /etc/iu.ap
sp::sysinit:/sbin/soconfig -f /etc/sock2path
smf::sysinit:/lib/svc/bin/svc.startd >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog </dev/console
p3:s1234Smilieowerfail:/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i5 -g0 >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog


I am not able to get any clue, what should I modify.Smilie Can you please help me with that.

Repeating myself:
- What changes did you attempt and how did they fail ? (what command did you run, what error message did you get)
- Both of these files should be identical.

Hi,

We tried to uninstall an application on the host(sunsrv4z5) by running a script which came along with the application. This was the first time, we ran that script. After running the script, the console hanged. When I again tried logging onto my zone, its not getting connected & an alert message prompts "Network error: Connection refused".

So, I tried to connect the zone with the help of root server.

However, I get following message, when I execute command “zlogin -C sunsrv4z5” on my root server.
[Connected to zone 'sunsrv4z5' console]

INIT: Cannot stat /etc/inittab, errno: 2

When u say,
Both of these files should be identical.

Which two files are you referring to ?? Am confused..
I am connected to the root server, and there is one file /etc/inittab

I'm referring to /etc/inittab in the global zone and that very same file in the faulty zone zonepath.

Can you log in to that zone without using the "-C" option ?

Hi,
I am not able to connect to my zone even without -C option. Connection to my zone closes in fraction of a second.
When I execute, "zlogin sunsrv4z5" command, I get following output.

[Connected to zone 'sunsrv4z5' pts/7]
[Connection to zone 'sunsrv4z5' pts/7 closed]

Is there any other way to connect to my zone.

You don't need to log in to your non global zone in order to fix its file system. It is already available from the global zone.
