When changing the guest OS password of root, you may encounter an Authentication token manipulation error. This message occurs because the /etc/shadow file is not present. You can add the shadow file by entering 'pwconv', then the root password can be set. See the example below.

bash-3.2# passwd
Changing password for user root.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error

bash-3.2# pwconv

In addition to bug fixes, AXP 1.6.2 adds support for the new SM-SRE-710-K9 and SM-SRE-910-K9 service modules. Additionally, the expiration check of the authorization bundle is no longer enforced in AXP 1.6.2. The authorization bundle, which is provided by Cisco Developer Network, grants permission to run applications on the AXP platform. In addition to security information, the authorization bundle also contains an expiration date. Starting from AXP 1.6.2, the check on this expiration date ...Read More

 

The AXP upgrade process provides key features such as automatic deletion of previously installed files that are not included in the upgrade package. However, in order to not delete previously installed files, the upgrade process requires that previously installed files be included in the upgrade package which can lead to bloated packages. To simply the package and reduce package size, users can create a patch to modify only intended files. For example, if the initial installed package contai ...Read More

Virtual instance did not come back online
Answer
4/25/11 2:34 PM
This past weekend we experienced a situation where our application at a customer site would not come back online after the customer power cycled the 2811 due to the application being unresponsive.  This particular installation has been running for close to a year without issues, and the application was never changed during this time frame.  I was able to get to the AXP CLI prompt without issues, so I feel that AXP was running normally.  Whenever I tried to use "linux shell" to get to the virtual instance AXP reported the virtual instance was not online.  After about two hours the virtual instance finally came back online.  There were no further reloads of AXP during that two hour window. This particular installation mounts at boot time (via init.d) a Windows CIFS share, and my suspicions are that this mount hung the startup process.  I looked in the instance log files but didn't see anything that looked unusual.  Are there any other logs or tech support commands that perhaps would indicate why the virtual instance didn't come back online normally?  We are running AXP 1.5.3 on NME-302.
Thanks.

Hi John,



Check /var/log/message.log inside the guest and on the host.

Check your startup script that does the mount and look at the timeout and number of retries.

Consider adding a ping test before doing the mount to avoid long timeouts.



Thanks,

Rad
