SNA problems

I have a problem trying to configure SNA on a machine. The background to
the problem is that we have 2 machines that process part of our printing.
They are both F50's that share SSA disk. They don't have HACMP but are
designed so that one can be used as a DR box for the other by way of manual
failover. There were network issues on the site and communication was lost
with one of the nodes so the people on site failed over to the other one.
By the time the problem was reported, it was reported as a hardware issue.
The card was replaced and in the ensuing up-ing and down-ing of the server
other hardware issues occurred and we lost hdisk0. This was replaced but we
had lost the OS. There were no mksysb tapes. The box had to be cloned from
the other one. Unfortunately this has meant that the original SNA
configuration for this node has been lost. After cloning the OS SNA no
longer starts. I get this message:



SNA software is initializing...



SNA software failed to initialize, reason:



Failed to start Trace Daemon

- Trace Daemon failed to access the trace driver - /dev/sna_trace



Operating System error:



- No such file or directory



Error : Failed to access the node. Check that CS/AIX software is running

query_node_limits command failed :

primary_rc = COMM_SUBSYSTEM_NOT_LOADED, secondary_rc = 00000002 (UNKNOWN)

Error : Failed to access the node. Check that CS/AIX software is running

init_node command failed :

primary_rc = COMM_SUBSYSTEM_NOT_LOADED, secondary_rc = 00000002 (UNKNOWN)





I have tried googling the error but it hasn't helped much. I know nothing
about SNA, can anyone point me in the right direction for reading material
or ideas about what to look for first. I'm due to go back again later in
the week and I could really do with some pointers.



Many thanks
