Who is cluttering /var/tmp with char dev files rdskAAA* ?

[Ralph Grothe]

Oh Dear, these STM paths are so hard to remember!

I now added this line to the disabled_instances, and hope this will keep the agents from playing with the dvd drive.

# tail -1 /var/stm/data/tools/monitor/disabled_instances
/storage/events/disks/default/0_0_1_0.1.0

Must the diagnostic stuff be restarted?
Probably won't hurt anyway...

[Duncan Edmonstone]

Ralph,

I'm not completely convinced this will work... se the following entry in the disabled_instances file:

# NOTE: entries in this file do NOT cause a monitor to stop polling an
# instance or stop the PSM monitor from marking an instance as DOWN, it
# just stops the notification of events based on entries in the *.sapcfg
# files for this instance.

[Ralph Grothe]

Ouch, you're right.
Have been a bit too hasty.

The diagmond seemed unimpressed by my futile disabling attempt anyway,
and keeps merrily churning out further devices

# ll /var/tmp/rdsk*|grep -c 0x001000
20


So what else could I do?
Pull the DVD drive from its slot seems a bit too drastic.

[Ralph Grothe]

I think I will be asking HP tomorrow
for some advice in this matter.

This thread's subject has long been answered.

And so I should not delay the promotion of Duncan on his way to Olympia any longer.

Many thanks for your patience and help to all!

[Duncan Edmonstone]

I'm running out of ideas Ralph... maybe time to open that call with HP.

Does diskinfo work OK for the DVD-ROM device?

diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0

HTH

Duncan

[Ralph Grothe]

Yea, responds immediately

# diskinfo /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0
SCSI describe of /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0:

[Ralph Grothe]

There even happens to be some media in it

# mount -r /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cdrom

# bdf /cdrom
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0 3442336 3442336 0 100% /cdrom

[Duncan Edmonstone]

Some more playing with tusc (using the -n option) shows the process in question is /usr/sbin/stm/uut/bin/tools/id/scsi_dev

I think this process is supposed to report back to STM in the local map log.

Does:

echo lml | cstm

turn up anything intersting?

[Ralph Grothe]

Hi Duncan,

sorry for the belated reply.
I must had left office already yesterday when your last posting was submitted.

I had a look at the localmaplog in cstm.
Among other messages especially these two appear repeatedly which refer to the DVD drive I suppose:


Thu Aug 9 14:25:19 2007: Tool completed with exit_status PROD_NOT_SUPPORTED
(3) indicating the tool exited because the product
identifier is not supported by this tool.

Thu Aug 9 14:25:20 2007: Identify routine (scsi_arry) for hardware at path
(0/0/1/0.1) indicated hardware path is not supported.
A subsequent identify routine should support the
hardware.

Thu Aug 9 14:25:20 2007: Hardware at path (0/0/1/0.1) and driver name (tgt) is
being ignored as entry in id_mod_xref file indicated
it should be ignored. This hardware will not appear
in the map.




But as similar messages apear for other HW paths as well, I am not quite sure if this is evidence enough for some abnormality?

[Ralph Grothe]

Epilogue,

I filed an SW case with HP Support
and was instantly supplied with a howto that seems to have fixed this (I still have to observe for a longer period, say until Monday).
This Howto lists the steps necessary how EMS can be restarted thoroughly, meaning by removing of certain files that require EMS to regenerate a new set of config and state files.

I am not sure if I am allowed to cite the procedure here?
Maybe you will even find it in the knowledge base?
I will have to ask the support engineer next week.

Have a nice weekend guys

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Ralph:

I have nothing to contribute to the EMS dialog, but wanted to add a "thanks" for the Perl "digression" as you called it. I'd hardly call you a rookie as you applied the moniker to yourself! I agreed with your comments surrounding the code and also wonder about the quality of the binaries that we can't see if indeed the Perl is representative!

Regards!

...JRF...

[Ralph Grothe]

Hi James,

sorry, for the late response.

This piece of Oracle Perl code is even worse than I thought at first sight.

Well, it does compile if you leave off the strict pragma

# perl -c -Mwarnings -Mlib=/app/oracle/grid/agent10g/bin /app/oracle/grid/agent10g/bin/emwd.pl <
Unquoted string "cp" may clash with future reserved word at /app/oracle/grid/agent10g/bin/emwd.pl line 187.
main::printDebugMessage() called too early to check prototype at /app/oracle/grid/agent10g/bin/emwd.pl line 223.

Name "main::AGENT_START_TIME" used only once: possible typo at /app/oracle/grid/agent10g/bin/emwd.pl line 208.
/app/oracle/grid/agent10g/bin/emwd.pl syntax OK


But it terribly fails when put under strict.
Such code is unmaintainable and should be indented six feet under and covered with dirt (to take up a quote from Damian Conway's "Perl Best Practices").
Even the real masters never get tired of emphasing the great relief strict introduces for even the seemingly most trivial of scripts to save the programmer's sanity.
For distributed code which needs to be maintained this failing to compile is unforgivable.

Hi Ralph,
Did you get an answer to this problem? Which version of OnlineDiags do you have installed? (Running 'cstm' shows this.)

disk_em used to create these files for EVA type devices, but that was a year or more ago, current versions should not be showing this problem. AM60Srvr has also been seen to do something very similar, but again the current version should not.

Hi Andrew,

yes I did get an answer (as I wrote, but probably too distractingly long a thread)
by a Support Engineer colleague of yours.
I don't know if I may name her without having asked for her approval?
From the solution I was provided I fabricated a script which I called emsflush.sh that you may find attached.
It's more of a proposal because I haven't tested it fully for publication and it still may contain some bugs or be downright appalling
or even havoc wreaking.
You have been warned.
At least it worked fine for me.

[Ralph Grothe]

Sorry, forgot about the involved version of Diagnostics.

Ralph,
Thanks for the update; I'll have a look at the script when I've got time and see if I learn anything from it.

The problem shouldn't be happening with A.57.00, but it obviously is. If running the script hasn't fixed it for good, can you ask HP support to elevate the issue when you go back to them?

Andrew

[Ralph Grothe]

The running of my script,
which last took place on the 13th of Aug,
seems to have fixed this.
Since that last EMS monitors' restart no new device files appeared apart from these:
