I recently updated our EMC Networker server and today after our tapes ran out of storage. The system wouldn’t start moving data to tapes. Looking for the problem I noticed nsrlcpd didn’t start. Taking a closer look showed it couldn’t find libsmci.so. I started my hunting by checking yum whatprovides and found it was installed on the server, installed by nsr. Next I hit Powelink like any good administrator and found someone solved this by linking with ln.

How come I didn’t think of that. Well I blame it on how much time I’ve been spending in the Windows server/client environment lately. So I think I’ll have to play with my SPARC linux server at home again.
