Hi Jeff,
Do I reboot the master or the master and
the media servers or just the media server ???
This is happening on 2 off my SAN media
servers.
The master and my main media server appear
to be OK.
Thanks,
Dominik

semaphore issue
Haven’t seen it in
relation to NBU but if you are sure that the semaphore parameters are all
adequate it may be that something stopped abnormally and left semaphores or
even shared memory segments in use at a memory address that NBU wants. In
NBU 6.x there is a database instead of flat files and it is Sybase.
Most modern databases use a combination of shared memory segments and
semaphores for control.
You can use the ipcs
command to examine what semaphores/shared memory segments are in
use. You can use ipcrm to remove any. WARNING: Deleting
shared memory segments or semaphores that are still required by a running
application can cause your system to crash.
If you’re not sure
what can be cleared a reboot will clear both IPC types.

issue
Anyone seen this on a Solaris 10 server
????
# ltid -v
# Error in getting semaphore
#
Ltid keeps on dieing and it complains
about semaphores. My other Solaris 10 servers are fine but I have two with this
issue.
Both use different hardware and no you
don’t need to tune the kernel on Solaris 10 as it’s defaults are
much bigger than anything Symantec recommend.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Dominik
