What is the output of the following command?

# bos status -server <servername> -cell <cellname> -noauth

If you have been following the Quick Beginnings guide to the letter,
you should see output similar to the following:

# bos status -server <servername> -cell <cellname> -noauth
Instance kaserver, currently running normally.
Instance buserver, currently running normally.
Instance ptserver, currently running normally.
Instance vlserver, currently running normally.
#

The line you want to pay attention to is the very first one, the one
about the kaserver.  If it is not running, or you haven't started it,
back up a section in the Quick Beginnings guide and make sure you've
properly executed all of the "bos create" commands.
