clearcase dumps core ..

[Jamni]

Hi all,

I am working with clearcase on HPUX 10.20 machine. I receive an error "Memory fault(coredump)" whenever i run cleartool and the system dumps core. So is there any way to get rid of this ??

Also i have tried restarting the machine and reinstalled the clearcase, but in vain :-(


Thanks and regards
Jamni

Hi,

Check to make sure that the software has any
specific kernel parameters and patches as
pre-requisites from your installation manual.

Hi

give.Where core is the coredump file from clearcase.

Hi Steve

file core gave me the following o/p.

core: core file from 'cleartool' - received SIGSEGV

and the core file is dumped in the same directory where i execute any clearcase command.

I guess i have installed all the required patches ..

Anyother clues ??

Thanks

Hi


1)received a SIGSEGV for stack growth failure.
Possible causes: insufficient memory or swap space,
or stack size exceeded maxssiz. Memory fault(coredump)



Check swapinfo -t

increase maxssiz

2)swlist -l fileset -a state|grep -v configured

does it only give comment lines.

The following is the o/p of swapinfo.

Kb Kb Kb PCT START/ Kb
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 524288 0 524288 0% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
reserve - 54520 -54520
memory 92816 26688 66128 29%
total 617104 81208 535896 13% - 0 -

Do i still need to increase the size ??

Also i have attached the swlist cmd o/p. Is that what expected ?

hi

1)the instaled lines are wrong

try

swconfig \*

Note the

2)Post the output of sysdef

especially

maxdsiz 16384 - 256-655360 Pages -
maxssiz 2048 - 256-655360 Pages -
maxswapchunks 256 - 1-16384 -
maxtsiz 16384 - 256-655360 Pages -

3)Does /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log contain messages when it dumps.


4)You are missing PHCO_18563 PHKL_20611

Load them

I have attached the swconfig and sysdef o/p.

Syslog file does not show any error at the time of the core dump.

Thanks

Hi

1)You need the patches

2)ERROR: "ux84178:/": 3 products are not compatible for this system's
architecture or operating system.
ERROR: "ux84178:/": The software dependencies for 4 products or
filesets cannot be resolved.


You have incompatible software . Can cause many problems.

: More information may be found in the agent logfile (location
is ux84178:/var/adm/sw/swagent.log).



3)Increase maxssiz and maxdsiz by 50%
regenerate the kernel

try again
