core dumps

Mike Barron_3 — Thu, 31 Jan 2002 14:48:28 GMT

my HP L class is dumping this core file into /tmp every night. Any idea what is causing it? I did a file on it and this is what comes back:

core: core file from 'opcnprcs' - received SIGABRT

Hi,

/var/opt/OV/share/databases/OpC/mgd_node/vendor/hp/s700/hp-ux10/A.05.37/RPC_DCE_TCP/monitor/opcnprcs.Z

Your core file is generated by the HP Openview IT/Operations software.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Do a ..
# what core

and

# strings core |grep -i error

to determine what is the cause. You can post it here. Sounds like Openview related core dump.

Hi

I have seen this once and it was

Somehow had installed ITO-SE agent (as part of GlancePlusPak) over his
normal ITO agent and the DBSPI monitor was confused with the ITO-SE binary
(version 4.10!).
Solution is to reinstall agent software on the node and redistribute templates ,
actions, monitors, commands.

Hope this helps

Do you have a process that is named "opcnprcs" ?

Maybe, you can search your system for a file with that name. Some process probably executes that file at night and it returns an unrecoverable error.

You can also execute "what /tmp/core". This will give you more information on the process that generated the corefile.

It maybe worth your while reinstalling your ITO agent and redistributing your templates ,actions, monitors etc .... it sounds as if ito binaries have some problems .... have you installed glance, toptools or anything similar recently that could overwrite or cause conflict with the ITO files ?

Check the version of ito checks out with what output of ito bimaries it may show something ?

Other alternative send in the core dump to HP for analysis ?

Thanks everyone for the help. I'm gonna try and reinstall ITO agent. I will get back and let everyone know how it went.

Thanks again
