disk free listing no longer work after rsync overwritten system files /etc

htran_888Sep 24 2009 — edited Nov 3 2009
Hi All,

I am having difficulty running some key critical commands on this Solaris 10 server (Sun Fire X2200, M2 x64 Server) called SERVERB. This SERVERB is a disaster recovery system identical to our production server known as SERVERA. We recently scheduled an regular rsync cron job to copy everything from SERVERA to SERVERB, but feared that this process has also overwritten some of our system files in /etc which prevented these commands from working.

Below is the output when attempting to run these commands:
$ hostname                                                                      
SERVERB                                                                         
$ id                                                                            
uid=12345(jack) gid=6789(staff)                                             
$ df -k                                                                         
$ df /home                                                                      
df: Could not find mount point for /home                                        
$ pwd                                                                           
/tmp                                                      
$ df -k .                                                                       
df: Could not find mount point for .                                            
$ which df                                                                      
/usr/bin/df 
$ top                                                                           
top: cannot find/execute "top" in ISA subdirectories                            
$ which top                                                                     
/usr/local/bin/top     
I have re-installed 'top' but it did not make much difference.

We have also splitted up physical SERVERB into multiple regions using Solaris Zoning, but not sure whether we have correctly partitioned/sized the filesystems correctly amongst each zones.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jack
