Why does cmgetconf get logged several times in syslog.log

[Shivam Tiwari]

Hi All,

I found that every second there is a comand running
cmgetconf -p

Thanks is advance

cmgetconf is an HPUX Service Guard command.

Every second is excessive, if you are using SG clusters, they are not healthy.

Hi,

You may be running legato networker backup on this server.

do a ps -ef and grep for nsr

ps -ef |grep nsr

Do you see a nsrexecd process "/opt/networker/bin/nsrexecd".

If you do a strings on this executable and grep for cmgetconf, you'll find it over there. Seems like this process is calling cmgetconf every second for all the packages in the cluster. Never worried much about that so did not take it further myself.

Hope this helps.

Every second? It takes more then a second to run....You need to find out what is running it - and stop it.

cmgetconf only get's cluster or package information - cmviewcl to see status.

No nsr is not there in the process list.

Hi Shivam,

Maybe this link would help find the process that is running cmgetconf,

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000076534391

the itrc doc id is UMCSGKBRC00014697.

Hope this helps.

Hi I got the script here is the output
Thu Dec 2 12:57:38 EST 2004

PID PPID COMMAND

4357 21315 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/cmgetconf -p
21315 21312 /opt/OV/lbin/conf/ovconfd
21312 1 /opt/OV/bin/ovcd

So by the above I found that ovcd is the process that is invoking the ovconfd that in turn is invoking cmgetconf process but I dont know why it is doing lke that.

TIA

Sounds like you are running OVO in a MC/SG environment?

More then likely a template is configured incorrectly.

Thats true.. I am running OVO on Service Guard.
But I am not sure which kind of templtates I need to check or the hierarchy to check the problem
