Greetings,
I'm a little behind the 8-ball on this one but while I pursue
other options, I wanted to ask the question here.
I have an installation of NBU 6.0 MP3 in a remote office. For
some time now, catalog backups have been taking a very long time
to run and while they run, the machine (a Sun V240) slowly grinds
to a halt. So much so that basic stuff won't run (like cputst).
About the only hint of anything in the system log file is the
failure of cputst to run.
Nov 6 04:59:25 admin2 Could not start CPU test program: \
/usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/sparcv9+vis2/cputst
Nov 6 04:59:25 admin2 System call fork() failed. Reason: \
Resource temporarily unavailable
Syslog continues to run though :)
Things I've looked at include the system file configuration (looks OK).
The machine was more than a little shy of physical memory and that's
been fixed too.
I'm told this has been the case for a while now. In the past, it would
take several hours to do the catalog backup and now it never appears to
finish.
Looking at the logs, we find:
vxlogview -p NB -d all -X 96660 > /tmp/96660.out
V-1-1-12 There are no records to be displayed.
V-1-1-13 NOTE: There were 5 corrupted log records.
I'm told that there's no db checking utility in 6.0 and I'm wondering
if this isn't a problem with the catalog database.
Anyway, any pointers, tips, bad jokes, etc. would be greatly
appreciated.
ian
