nfs package not responding

[lawrenzo_1]

Hello,

we periodically reboot servers as part of a maint window. the current situation is we have nfspkg1 and nfspkg2 running /home is mounted on nfs package2.

nfspkg1 stopped and restarted fine on the other node. When nfspkg2 was stopped there where issue's with exceed and all sysadmins were locked out.

I pressume this happened due to /home not being mounted therefor the users lost connection to cde etc.

Where can I find detailed logs to interigate serviceguard - I have checked syslog.log for some entries. When pkg1 is up on the other node why would we have issues with the mounted file system?

Thanks

Hi,

whatever package logs are there should be under /etc/cmcluster/pkg_name/pkg_name.cntl.log

if the package control file is pkg_name.cntl.

hope this helps.

Is there really a good reason why you reboot these servers? You should not have to do this.

As for the package issues, check the package log for the relevant package on the node that you are running th epackage.
Did the package in question actually start ok?
There may be another reason outside of Serviceguard casuing your issue.

solution:

yes unfortunatley these servers do reboots from time to time due to known application issues.

the problem was due to the user halting the package, which /home is nfs mounted on the server where he is logged into cde.

#nohup cmhaltpkg -n ; cmrunpkg -n

Thanks chaps.
