Cause

The domain may not have a dman interface plumbed.

Solution

Steps to follow:

1) Log into the domain as superuser.

2) Type:

# ndd -get /dev/dman man_get_hostinfo

The following is an example of the output displayed.

manc_magic = 0x4d414e43
manc_version = 01
manc_csum = 0x0
manc_ip_type = AF_INET
manc_dom_ipaddr = 10.1.1.3
manc_dom_ip_netmask = 255.255.255.224
manc_dom_ip_netnum = 10.1.1.0
manc_sc_ipaddr = 10.1.1.1
manc_dom_eaddr = 0:0:be:a8:48:26
manc_sc_eaddr = 8:0:20:f9:e4:54
manc_iob_bitmap = 0x400 io boards = 10.1,
manc_golden_iob = 10

3) Add or edit a network-i1 entry to /etc/netmasks, using the following format

<manc_dom_ip_netnum> <man_dom_ip_netmask>

For example:

10.1.1.0 255.255.255.224

4) Create an /etc/hostname.dman0 file with the following content:

<manc_dom_ipaddr> netmask + broadcast + private up

For example:

10.1.1.3 netmask + broadcast + private up

5) Ensure that the 'manc_sc_ipaddr' IP address matches whats in /etc/syslog.conf

# cat /etc/syslog.conf
--snip--
*.notice        @10.1.1.1
--snip--

If not, edit the /etc/syslog.conf file. Save and exit.

6) Type:

# ifconfig dman0 plumb
# ifconfig dman0 netmask + broadcast + private up

For example:

# ifconfig dman0 plumb
# ifconfig dman0 10.1.1.3 netmask + broadcast + private up
