RMA 1.23 on FreeBSD SPARC

[Scott1669]

I have compiled the RMA agent version 1.23 on FreeBSD running on a Sun Ultra5 SPARC platform. The agent has compiled without error as far as I can tell because the agent starts ok and is a running process, but I cannot see the agent from my HostMonitor console. The reply on any test other than 'ping' gives me 'RMA: Cannot read data'. Do you know of any reason for this in this configuration?

Thank you,

Scott

May be wrong byte order... Have you made any modifications in sources/makefile?

[Scott1669]

I have made no modification to the code that I know of.

[KS-Soft]

What byte order is used?

From the Makefile:

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Project: RMA for UNIX
# File: make file
# Target OS: Linux, FreeBSD, solaris
# Comment:
# Developer: KS-Soft (www.ks-soft.net)
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

#
# Normalise environment variables OSTYPE and MACHTYPE
#

MAKE = gmake
OSTYPE = $(shell uname -s)
MACHTYPE = $(shell uname -m)

ifeq ($(OSTYPE), SunOS)
# SunOS
LIBS = -lsocket -lnsl -lpthread
#for Solaris 8 or earlier
CXXSPECIFICFLAGS = -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L
CXXCODEFLAGS = -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
else
ifeq ($(OSTYPE), HP-UX)
# HP-UX
#CXXSPECIFICFLAGS = -D_INCLUDE_POSIX_SOURCE
CXXSPECIFICFLAGS = -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -D_REENTRANT
CXXCODEFLAGS = -D__BIG_ENDIAN=4321 -D__BYTE_ORDER=4321
LIBS = -lpthread
else
# Linux/BSD
LIBS = -pthread
CXXCODEFLAGS = -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
endif
endif

Is this what you need?

[KS-Soft]

Not exactly. On FreeBSD byte_order should be specified in sys/endian.h header file

Alex

[Scott1669]

This? (/sys/sys/endian.h)

No as you see it uses definition from another file machine/endian.h
Lets do not litter this forum. Could you provide telnet/ssh access to your system?

Regards
Alex

[Scott1669]

Unfortunately, the system is behind a corporate firewall and such access is not permitted. If you can let me know what files/information you need, I can zip them up and e-mail them to you.

[KS-Soft]

We need more than just files...
Could you start RMA using the following command "./rma -i -vd rma.ini", perform ping and some other test and send output to us?

Regards
Alex

[Scott1669]

I have sent the output from the agent and my rma.ini file to support@ks-soft.net. There appears to be an authentication error, but I know I have correctly typed the password in the rma.ini file and the HostMonitor console.

[KS-Soft]

how new sources works?

Regards
Alex

[Scott1669]

I have compiled the sources successfully and the agent starts just fine, but it will not allow authentication from any outside RMA console. I believe that the problem may lie in the password encryption peice. I think that the fact that the agent is compiled in full 64 bit, no 32 bit code will run on FreeBSD SPARC, the encryption in the code cannot decipher in the 64 bit compilation.

[KS-Soft]

Please start agent using -i -vd command line switches, try to execute several tests and send output to support@ks-soft.net
