860.0. "1.6 SSB - Controller_01 in LEF mode..." by KETJE::GEORGES (With OpenVMS, NO problem ONLY solutions) Mon Jul 10 1995 10:56

    Hi PCM gurus,


    problems with PCM 1.6 SSB installed on a VAX-4600 !


    The CONTROLLER process is in LEF mode, nothing else to do else then
    STOP/ID of that process.

    What about systems (like PDPs) that needs their console to be read !!!!



    Regards, Dominique

    The process is in LEF mode, I can't monit systems, ...

00008CF4 Console Ctrl 01 LEF      4   212351   0 00:22:17.11     10743  2665

    I tried to restart PCM via @SYS$STARTUP:CONSOLE$STARTUP RESTART and the
    result is quiet strange :

0000C623 Console Ctrl 01 HIB      4      147   0 00:00:14.27      1733  1547
00008CF4 Console Ctrl 01 LEF      4   212351   0 00:22:17.11     10743  2665

    A second process with the same name has been created !

    Monit still doens't work.


    A CONSOLE SHUTDOWN /NOCONF stop the HIB process, but not the other one :

00008CF4 Console Ctrl 01 LEF      9   212380   0 00:22:17.24     10745  2667


    SHOW DEVICE /FILE CONOLE$TMP:

    Hi Dominique, PCM Team,
    
    Today, I had exactly the same problem. I had to stop/id the 
    Console Ctrl 01 process. A console shut didn't help.
    This is what I found in the CONSOLE$TMP directory.

    	Questions to PCM support :
    	--------------------------
    1) What is the meaning of 'Read error on Local socket CONSOLE_CTRL' ?
    2) Is this a know problem ?
    3) I restarted with console$debug "daemon" in the hope to get more
       info. Is this enough ?
    4) What do I need to check/analyze when it comes back ?

860.2OPG::PHILIPAnd through the square window...Thu Jul 13 1995 18:3631
Folks,

  Did this "LEF" condition happen after you performed an Archive?

>>    	Questions to PCM support :
>>    	--------------------------
>>    1) What is the meaning of 'Read error on Local socket CONSOLE_CTRL' ?

  It means that something disconnected from the daemons control socket,
  if this was the parent, as you got two of them it probably means that
  2 children died.

>>    2) Is this a know problem ?

  If the children died, no its not known, we need to know what to do to
  reproduce it.

>>    3) I restarted with console$debug "daemon" in the hope to get more
>>       info. Is this enough ?

  For V1.6 No, there is a whole load of extra information you have to supply
  PCM with to get meaningful information out.

>>    4) What do I need to check/analyze when it comes back ?
  
  Nothing, but we would appreciate it if you could try the ECO to see
  if it fixes your problem. We should have a FT of the ECO ready for
  you tomorrow.

Cheers,
Phil

    Hi Phil,

    Maybe, every night I start an archive via Polycenter Scheduler.
    I tried to simulate the problem by starting an archive(two times),
    but i can't simulate the LEF situation.

      I only have one Console CTRL 01 on my system. Hmhmhm.
