If you can access the filer from the console but not from the administration host, the
filers /etc/hosts file on the root volume might have an IP address that is unreachable.
Complete the following steps to fix this problem:
1. Log in to the filer from the system console.
2. At the filer prompt, enter the following commands, replacing the information
shown in italics with values appropriate for your filer:

If the /etc/rc file on the root volume is accidentally deleted, the filer automatically runs
setup the next time it is booted.
If the system does not respond to network requests after a boot, check the console to
make sure that the system is not waiting for your input.
If the filer cannot boot from the hard disk because of damaged configuration files, you
can boot it from the system boot diskette. In this case, you must manually initialize
the filer and correct the configuration. See Booting From System Boot Diskette for
information about booting from the system boot diskette.
