There's something strange with fmd in update 6. On four identical machines (Netra T2000) all installed thru jumpstart (same configuration, same packages, same patches, same firmware) fmd randomly refuses to start after reboot.
Code:
$ cat /var/svc/log/system-fmd:default.log
...
[ Nov 20 09:47:03 Executing start method ("/usr/lib/fm/fmd/fmd") ]
[ Nov 20 09:47:16 Method "start" exited with status 0 ]
[ Nov 20 09:47:21 Stopping because process dumped core. ]
[ Nov 20 09:47:21 Executing stop method (:kill) ]
$ svcs -xv
svc:/system/fmd:default (Solaris Fault Manager)
State: offline since Thu Nov 20 10:58:38 2008
Reason: Start method is running.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-C4
See: man -M /usr/share/man -s 1M fmd
See: /var/svc/log/system-fmd:default.log
Impact: This service is not running.
And it loops ...
Running with debugging on I get:
Code:
$ sudo /usr/lib/fm/fmd/fmd -o fg=true -o debug=all -o client.debug=true
fmd DEBUG: ereport.io.pci.sserr dispatched to 1 queues
fmd DEBUG: fabric-xlate: Bit 0x4000 First Err 0x4000
fmd DEBUG: fabric-xlate: Sending Target Ereport: type 0x4 addr 0x0 fltbdf 0x700
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
Core dumps unfortunately don't make much sense to me.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

After applying the latest kernel patches, you will need to perform a re-configuration reboot to bring the system to a consistent state. I think you missed that. bring the system down to single user and try the following

#reboot -- -r
after a kernel patch is installed there will be a file called "reconfigure" in the / filesystem. so a "reboot" or "init 6" should be enough cause this is the same like "reboot -- -r".
Nope, the reconfigure file is not always there in the / fs. Anyway, there is an instruction for the kernel patch for 137137-09 to use a re-configuration boot after patching is completed.

whats the status now? did you perform any fsck on the filesystem in single user?
Worse come to worst, you will need to do a reinstallation. Are u using the same jumpstart config for other systems running this solaris 10 update?

Hi All,
I am doing Solaris packaging. I got core dump error while doing it. I have identified particular folder causing it but not sure about the reason. Without
that folder i can able to do the package. I have attached the proto file and other related files for your reference. Pls... (1 Reply)
I have compiled GhostPDL that provides a shell script pcl2pdf that calls the executable pcl6.
pcl6 compiled with no errors using gmake and gcc. Running pcl2pdf generates a core dump when trying to convert a pcl file to pdf.
I have installed the Ghost fonts. Does anyone have GhostPDL compiled... (1 Reply)
Hi guys,
just want to know which core file pattern is best to set for core dumps:
1) per-process file name pattern
or
2) global file name pattern.
I will really appreciate an explanation why the chosen one is better.
Thanks a lot guys. (2 Replies)

I am importing data into a new database using bcp (ASE 11.0) on Solaris 5.7. I keep getting a core dump error when my ksh script attempts to load one table. All other tables load fine. If I load the table directly from the command line without a script the table loads fine.
Does anybody know... (1 Reply)
