CVSDM 1.07 cannot start diald daemon

[Thayanidhi]

Hi,

On RP4440 installed CVSDM and connected to
VA7110 directly (PRIVATE_LOOP).
armdiscover always reports dial daemon not
running.
HA_Dial_Start, says daild started, but
daild is not running.
If I try to start diald manually,
Illegal Instruction coredump.
armdsp - reports no devices.
System ioscan able to see the array LUNs.

Removed and reinstalled, insf -e ...
No luck.
I have already post this Storage/SAN.
I feel here more users are here.

Moderators, please let the thread be here for
some time!!

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

1)I guess your DeviceDBFile is corrupted. Try removing the file first, then run 'armdiscover' again.

2)There is a array startup script in /sbin/init.d/ location, but I forget the exact file ( ./arraymgr or./sanarray??). You have to find the file, I was able to overcome the same situation by stoping-starting that service from /sbin/init.d/????.

3)Lastly, you can reboot the machine and see whether armdsp can see the array.

Hi,

DeviceDBFile - removed and tried.
Rebooted several times!!
ps -ef | grep dial doesn't list diald.
When ever I try to start diald a core file
created /opt/sanmgr/hostagent/sbin

Any other clue?

Thanks and Regards

Hi again, there is a VA's controller firmware dependecy issue with cvsdm 1.07 but it is on VA7400 with cvsdm 1.07. But still you can check it.

Can you check /etc/rc.log file if hostagent started successfully.

Regarding the core file, you can debug it by q4 utility by yourself or send it to HP for analyzing it.

I am having the same problem. Every thing is the same as your enviroment except that my CMDVIEWSDM is 1.06.

Did you find a fix??

Hi,

Are you using Rp4440 and VA7110 with CVSDM?

Yes!
I have a rp4440 with a VA7110 directly connected.

It is on HP-UX 11i, with GOLDBASE+GOLDAPPS patch bundles from Dec. 2003, and HWEnable11i bundle also from Dec. 2003.

Thanks

HP support confirmed that there is a system bug and asked me to apply the patch: PHKL_30038 to fix the problem.

Thanks

Yes,

The latest cumulative IDE patch should
solve your problem.

All the best
