Regarding levels for Nways first- Do not try to use ANY mgtapptran ptf
with ANY currently supported level of Nways- either 1.1 or 1.2.x.
As of 1.1, mgtapptran shipped with the Nways product and matched the
PSMs in that product level. [Nways 1.1 goes out of defect support at
end of June (this week)].
Nways levels- Nways Manager 1.1 contains individual appls. at 3.2.x
Nways Manager 1.2 " " " " 3.3
Nways Manager 1.2.1 " " " " 3.3.1
Mgtapptran is a little different- at 1.2.1 NM its 3.0.1.1
If Red is chewing up CPU, after its initial polling, first check for
orphans children with 'ps -ef | grep R' (note upper case- all of the
kids contain one too). If there's anybody running with a parent pid of
1 kill it, then do what Leslie says- Tools->Applic.Trans.->Stop, then
same string and Start. If you get an error on the console when the
daemons start back up, stop them again, do a 'ps -ef | grep lockmgr',
get the pid of that and kill it (he's supposed to be running under init,
so that's OK, but if an mgtapptran session dies unnaturally the lockmgr
seems to have a pid file for all Red instances (one for each NV session)
that doesn't get cleaned up and he gets confused.) After you kill
lockmgr, do the start again.
If there's still a problem, there may be some database issues, so go
into smit->commo->Applic.Transporter->Maintain and clear the database.
(This has no affect on any Netview database object). If this fails to
complete, it's because you don't have enought room in /tmp to dump the
database contents. After it finishes grinding through another tedius
synchronization and discovery, all should be all right.
HOWEVER- Especially if this is happening at 1.2.x, you should look at
system resources (memory!), other applications running, number of
sessions, and the size of the database. If there's a question about how
to figure the memory you need, please provide some more details about
concurrent operators, database size, all NMS applications, and current
resources.
Sorry if this is too long, but hope it helps.
