Hey Joel ...
Have a look at a message I just posted (RE:[Networker] 7.4.3 woes) -
LGTsc20094 might fix some of the problems you are see, where jobs get
stuck in the jobs DB ....

Subject: [Networker] UPDATE: [Networker] problems from upgrade from
7.2.2 to 7.4.3
OK... so about 45 days later and things have gotten better, not great
but better.
We got the patch for the Owner Notifications and it fix that issue.
So we're about 95% stable, but still have problems with parallelism.
The server seems to run out of authorized sessions after running for a
couple of days. Support had me up the server parallelism to 300 and
this didn't seem to help much. At one point the server had 0 authorized
sessions and nothing would run. That is when support had me increase to
300 from 100, +200 and the waiting jobs immediately kicked off. Over
the next couple of days those new sessions were "drained" also. I'm
working with support on this case now.
Also I've noticed that some clients that have only 1 or 2 parallelism
set will never start. I think someone else saw that also.
Other than sorting out VSS issues on clients running the 7.4.3 client
software everything else seems back to normal. VSS:*=off in the save
operations field turns off VSS for a particular client entry. Cleaned
up a lot of errors for us.
Thanks!
Joel

Hey,
Here's the info you requested.
T5220(Sparc) solaris 10
Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
SunOS servername 5.10 Generic_127111-11 sun4v sparc
SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220
So far I've been pretty unimpressed since the install. Lots of
problems.
Mind sharing how to shutoff tcp fusion? I thought it was supposed to be
fixed with the later releases, but maybe I'll try shutting it down.
Thanks!
Joel

Joel/Peter, would you mind supplying a couple Solaris-related questions:
-> Sparc or x86?
-> What rev was installed (from /etc/release)
-> What patch cluster you last installed
I'm preparing a new SN and Server using Sol-10-Sparc, and right now
we've only qualified the May-08 cluster against the Aug-07 release
(which in theory would make the kernel like the May-08 release anyway).
I'm also looking at turning off TCP Fusion, for safety's sake. It would
not surprise me if that's part of the TCP issues mentioned in the
thread. I can supply the change required if anyone needs it.
>From our new SN (which is going live in two weeks, under 7.1.3 for now):
foo# cat /etc/release
Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
foo:/# uname -a
SunOS foo 5.10 Generic_127111-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
Hopefully the Veritas import test *works* this time. :)
Joel - I'm a bit concerned about the index issue. We have systems here
with very long retentions, and God help me if I have to nuke one of
those indexes to fix a problem. How did you track down which index was
at fault? And I also want that bugid. :)
