Error message on Syslog - cmfileassistd

[Venkatesan_5]

Hi All,

I get an error in syslog file stating
1. cmfileassistd[20744]: Updated file /etc/cmcluster/cmclconfig (length = 61952).
2. cmcld[2705]: Service cmfileassistd terminated due to an exit(0).

both having a same time stamp.

I would like to know that does it happens when a package is stopped/started. If so how to handle the situation.

Also what does the error#2 denotes.. Please help me out to solve this issue.

Thanks

Venkatesan

what happens start/stop:

1. $ tail -f /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
2. start cluster

do the same when stopping, the syslog.log will tell you some interesting things.

also, strongly suggest getting this book:

The syslog messages related to "cmfileassistd" and "cmcld" are pretty informational messages.

"cmfileassistd" daemon is a File Management Daemon. The "cmfileassistd" daemon is used by cmcld to manage the files that it needs to read from, and write to, disk. This is to prevent any delays in issuing Input/Output from impacting the timing of cmcld.

Thus "cmcld" is reporting as the operation successful i.e. exit(0) by "cmfileassistd" daemon which has updated the cmclconfig file as it's job.

The standard error#2 indicates "No such file or directory". You can see other errors in /usr/include/sys/errno.h

Hi Sameer,

Is there any harm to the system or cluster in such case.

Venkatesan.

As long as exit status reported by cmcld is 0 for it's modules/daemons expected operations/jobs, there is no harm or reason to concern about system or cluster.
