Errors In Syslog

[Mike Duffy_1]

Good Morning,

I am getting the following in syslog;

cmcld: : Unable to accept a connection: Invalid argument

I cannot trace it to any source and it comes out about 2 a week with no pattern.

HP-UX 11.00 SG 11.09

Hi Mike,

It maybe worth checking PHSS_23511 s700_800 11.X MC/ServiceGuard and SG-OPS Edition A.11.09 is installed the error you quoted was often seen in conjunction with a cmcld: timers delayed x.xx seconds, the second message is fixed by the patch

4. The cmcld logs the message, "timers delayed x.x seconds".
Though this message can be due to a kernel
latency issue outside the control of ServiceGuard, there
are also circumstances which lead to this occurring
without any kernel latency. In these cases, the cluster
may reform with the same membership, or there may be no
cluster reformation. Another possible symptom of this
problem can occur on a very static 1-node cluster where
there will be no heartbeat activity and no other activity
like package failures for a long period of time. In this
case, a new node attempting to join the cluster after
this semi-dormant period of time may lead to the
existing node failing with an assertion. The message
would be, "Assertion failed: (tsb_tmp).tsb_low <=
TICKS_PER_MAX_USEC, file: timers.c, line: 739"

you however maybe not be seeing the second error ?

any "timers delayed" message in syslog?

if yes, apply patch PHSS_23511

No only getting syslog.log.-3:Jun 19 15:37:04 snmlive1 cmcld: Unable to accept a connection: Invalid argument in syslog

What Serviceguard patch do you have loaded on A.11.09?

# what /usr/lbin/cmcld ... may yield the answer

There are only 3 "hits" in our database for the message you provided:

"nfile paramenter overflow":
Aug 2 10:11:13 sapdb1 cmcld: Unable to accept a connection: File table overflow

A.10.12 patch PHSS_21995 shows this form of the error message:
2173:Jul 21 12:38:56 node27 cmcld: Unable to accept a connection: No buffer space available

But the closest hit is this:
Dec 11 19:28:11 hwe64e cmcld: Unable to accept a connection: Invalid
argument
(associated with another mesage that followed of the sort:
"cmcld: timers delayed seconds

The most recent patch for 11.09 that has a reference for the 'timers delayed' problem is PHSS_26750.

I suggest that you install the latest patch on Serviceguard and see if the problem message returns.
