EMC ECC processes

[John Guster]

Does anyone see many entries(more than 60 entries)of ECC's mhragent process attached in the shared memory region and marked as D-rw------- Wonder why?

[Rita C Workman]

I'm not 100% sure what your seeing.

On my HPUX box the mhgragent process only shows as one entry (ps -ef | grep ecc)

I check what semaphores it's holding on to with (ipcs -a | grep 0x45), since 0x45 is the address that ECC processes map to. It shows about 6 entries for this shop, not 60.

And the D-rw----- looks like file permissions, whereas in checking memory using ipcs it reflects --ra-ra-ra-.

Don't know if this helped, but it sounds to me like maybe other things are kicked off, or old processes maybe are left over.

Rgrds,
Rita

I don't know why there are 60 but the "D" means the segment is marked for deletion, after all 60 die.

>Rita: And the D-rw----- looks like file permissions,

Yes where the "D" is special.

It is the behaviour of EMC CC 6.1. Checkout the following thread:

How can EMC let ecc 6.1 out?
Thanks for the info.
