- Troubleshooting
-
- This section lists problems that you might encounter when attempting to start VSM.
- If you experience one of these problems, try the solution provided in this section,
- or contact customer support.
-
-
- Problem
-
- "Invalid hostname, please try again": If you attempt to log on to VSM and receive
- this message appears, it means:
-
- * The host name and/or domain name you entered during installation are wrong, or
- * The domain name server or the hosts file has an incomplete entry for this system
-
- Solution
-
- Ensure that the host name and domain name that you entered during installation are
- correct by right-clicking the Video Server Manager icon and checking the host name
- and domain name that appear in the Target field of the Properties|Shortcut dialog box.
- Ensure that the host name and domain name are valid by pinging the server from the
- DOS prompt, as follows:
-
- C:>\WINDOWS>ping ovs1.oracle.com
- Pinging ovs1.oracle.com [144.25.94.38] with 32 bytes of data
- Reply from 144.25.94.38: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=253
- Reply from 144.25.94.38: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=253
- Reply from 144.25.94.38: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=253
- Reply from 144.25.94.38: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=253
-
- If the ping fails, see your system administrator and confirm that the domain name
- server and/or the c:\windows\hosts file are appropriately configured to resolve the
- host name and domain name you entered.
-
- Note: You cannot enter the IP address for these values; you must enter a
- fully-qualified system name.
-
- Problem
-
- "The Server appears to be down. Verify hostname, domain name....":
- You will receive this message if the Oracle Video Server to which you are
- attempting to connect has not started completely.
-
- Solution
-
- Ensure that the video server is up and running by running the command:
-
- % $ORACLE_HOME/vs30/admin/ovsstart -a
-
- Problem
-
- "Malformed Input": If you receive this message while loggin in to VSM, it means:
-
- * the user name and/or password you entered are not correct, or
- * the root.sh script was not run successfully on the server during installation.
-
- Solution
-
- Ensure that the user name and password are correct and valid for the video server
- machine to which you want to connect. To verify this information, try to ftp or
- telnet to the server, as follows:
-
- C:\WINDOWS>ftp ovs1
- Connected to ovs1.oracle.com
- 220 ovs1 FTP server (UNIX(r) System V Release 4.0) ready.
- User (ovs1.oracle.com:(none)): oracle
- 331 Password required for oracle.
- Password:
- 230 User oracle logged in.
- ftp>
-
- If you cannot ftp or telnet to the server, obtain a valid user name and password
- from your system administrator.
-
- Note: The user name and password can be any valid user name or password on the
- server machine and not just the OVS user.
-
- Ensure that the script $ORACLE_HOME/orainst/root.sh is run by performing these steps:
-
- 1. Stop the video server
- % $ORACLE_HOME/vs30/admin/ovsstop -a
-
- 2. Run the root.sh script as the "root" user
- % cd $ORACLE_HOME/orainst
- % su
- Password:
- %./root.sh
-
- 3. Restart the video server
- % $ORACLE_HOME/vs30/admin/ovsstart -a
