Do a ps -ef | grep actionsvr . Do you see one running? If so, kill it.
This situation is usually caused by actionsvr dying or being killed while
one of his children is still up. The child then owns the port that the
next actionsvr is trying to get at startup.
That won't tell you why this happened. If you want to pursue that, I'd
start with /usr/OV/log/nvaction.alog and .blog.
And look for cores in the / directory.
Finally, you do not have to start the GUI with the nv6000 command if you
are having problems with just one "non-essential" daemon. Issue ovw
rather than nv6000 and the GUI will start. Then you can work on the
daemon problem at your leisure. If ovwdb is down then the GUI will not
start this way either. If ovtopmd is down, then the statuses will be
wrong. But actionsvr just executes actions out of rulesets, so he is not
really a show-stopper.

Subject: actionsvr not starting
Dear all,
I'm not able to search the nv-l archives - no answer after 4 hours.
Also, the knowledge base at Tivoli is temporarily out of service.
So, here I am ;-)
I'm running NetView V5.0 on AIX4.2.1.
When I try to start nv6000, I get the following error:
ERROR: The following REQUIRED daemons are not running:
actionsvr
As root user, start all the daemons by using one of the following methods:
a) use the smit (TME 10 desktop) utility
b) issue the command: /usr/OV/bin/ovstart
c) rerun this command
So, as root, I run:
/usr/OV/bin/ovstart
and get:
behavior: OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
state: NOT_RUNNING
PID: 33364
last message:
exit status: exit(1)
I look in: /usr/OV/log/nvaction.alog and see:
98/08/19 14:58:29 : local host is delta
98/08/19 14:58:29 nl_Actionsvr.C[264] : Unable To Open action
Channel Trying Port 1670
98/08/19 14:58:29 nl_Actionsvr.C[267] : Unable to open port
1670... exiting
Any ideas, please?
Thank you --Greg Redder
