I recently tried to run tunesys and it showed as failed in the task list about 1 minute after starting it. I drilled down to see the task in detail showtask -d 1000 and I saw following:
Detailed status: 2012-02-29 12:52:11 GMT Created task. 2012-02-29 12:52:11 GMT Updated Executing “tunesys” as 2:15433 2012-02-29 12:52:15 GMT Error login failed – Invalid user or password. 2012-02-29 12:52:15 GMT Error Task exited with status 1 2012-02-29 12:52:15 GMT Failed Could not complete task.
The key bit of the message was – login failed Invalid user or password. I thought this was strange as I was already logged in. Next thing I tried was to login with one of the local accounts to see if that made any difference and it worked! I was convinced it was something to do with permissions, but all the checks I did showed I was a super user. I thought I was missing some secret security permission somewhere. Anyway today I got round to ringing support and it turns out this is a know issue when trying to run tunesys from an LDAP authenticated user account. See below for the full case notes from HP:
HP 3PAR Storage Systems – tunesys Command Will Fail when Run by User Authenticated Via LDAP
Information
If end-user is using LDAP authentication to connect to an HP 3PAR array, end-user will not be able to run the tunesys command as the task will fail.
Details
This problem will be fixed in a later release of InformOS.
As a workaround run tunesys as a local user.
