Weird rand_collect_entropy

[bvanniekerk]

Hi All

As is good manners, I always verify policy before any installation, even just an IP address change.
I get this error:
rand_collect_entropy: Failed to collect entropy from all sources

Could someone enlighten me as to what is going on?
I'm getting chills just looking at it.

Try to restore from backup or snapshot. If you don't have backup, i think you need to upgrade_import, reinstall server and then upgrade_export.

I have no idea of how to fix this...

upgrade_import ?

You mean put cd in, upgrade and hope for the best?

I have second HA mngnt station, which I need to prep.
Please comment on process...
1. ftp backed up files to new box to /temp
2. untar files
3. check if files were put in directories where required (not sure how this will work / if at all)
4. Change IP address
5. Re-establish SIC ?

Then proceed to rebuild fwm (upgrade)...if upgrade fails, rebuild.

Please comment...

We get more and more information about your configuration every your post :)

In my last post I meant configuration with one SmartCenter and I meant that you need to reinstall server from CD.

About mgmt HA, i don't know. May be you don't need use upgrade_import, export. Also may be you don't need reinstall.

I think someone else will help us.

maybe I should stop speaking now...

You shouldn't stop.
But, IMHO, better to give all important information about your configuration at once. And try to describe all your operations with CP.

Maybe I'm looking for the wrong info.

How about Restoring SmartDashboard / Management Module from scratch?
