2219.0. "Segmentation fault on starting PNV after upg to V4.1C" by GIDDAY::CHONG (Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC) Mon Mar 03 1997 23:39

Upgrading from V4.1 to V4.1C.
Starting the GUI with either OVW or PNV , gets a segmentation fault when
creating the default map and dies after poping up a message saying "Error
retrieving mapdb field info: Null field value". 

Thereafter.  Attempting to "Restart automatic map generation" or "Clear
topology databases" using pnvsetup simply results in a repeat of the above
sequence.


Completely deinstalled netview and reinstalled V4.1C gives the same result. 

The only error message from pnvinstall.log is a permission error for
snmpCol.conf .

 object manager name: snmpCollect
 behavior:            OVs_WELL_BEHAVED
 state:               NOT_RUNNING
 PID:                 -
 last message:        Could not lock configuration file
Could not fopen "/usr/OV/conf/snmpCol.conf": Permission denied (errno:13)
 exit status:         exit(1)



The permissions on snmpCol.conf resulting in the snmpCollect error were:

-rw-rwSrw-   1 bin      bin          761 Nov 27 21:51 snmpCol.conf

Once manually reset to 0666 permissions (rw-rw-rw-) snmpCollect starts OK.

The problem does not produce a core file.


Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this problem is much appreciated.

    Andrew,
    
    The file permissions look ok.
    
    Would it be possible that another snmpCollect was running?  I would
    do "ps auxw|grep snmpCollect" and also check /usr/OV/log/snmpCol.trace
    for information.

    re -1
    
    there were only one snmpCol running.
    snmpCol.trace has starting information and then incated that there was
    nothing to collect which was correct. 
    
    I have asked the customer to goback to V4.1 when it was working (under
    DU V3.2x) just to see if it works. 
    
    any other suggestions ?
    
    Andrew
