Peculiar Hobbit problem
by rsmrcina＠wi.rr.com 01 Sep '06

I checked the Hobbit display this morning and noticed that it had not been updated since 2:22AM. When I checked the hypervisor (IBMs z/VM), I noticed that the Hobbit virtual machine appears to be in a loop. It was using up alot of CPU time. I could not log on to Hobbit via ssh or the console, so I had to reboot it. When I checked the logs after it came up, I saw this in bb-display.log: 2006-09-01 02:22:59 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout 2006-09-01 02:22:59 hobbitd status-board not available 2006-09-01 02:24:08 WARNING: Runtime 119 longer than BBSLEEP (60) 2006-09-01 02:24:57 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - timeout I scanned the filesystem for core files, but found only /proc/sys/net/core, /dev/core and one in the kernel modules tree. Any thoughts on how to further debug this? -- Rich Smrcina VM Assist, Inc.

Solaris 10 service monitoring
by rgordonjr＠gmail.com 01 Sep '06

Hello - I'm running into an issue where I need to monitor the individual services ( svcs -a ) instead of the processes (ps -ef) on multiple Solaris 10 clients. I didn't see anything in the man pages about it (although I may have missed it) so I was wondering if anyone has been able to set Hobbit up to do so? Sample output from svcs -a $ svcs -a |head -20 STATE STIME FMRI legacy_run Jul_28 lrc:/etc/rcS_d/S00umask_sh legacy_run Jul_28 lrc:/etc/rcS_d/S29wrsmcfg legacy_run Jul_28 lrc:/etc/rcS_d/S51installupdates disabled Jul_28 svc:/system/sysidtool:net disabled Jul_28 svc:/system/sysidtool:system disabled Jul_28 svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default disabled Jul_28 svc:/network/rpc/nisplus:default disabled Jul_28 svc:/network/nis/server:default online Jul_28 svc:/milestone/multi-user-server:default online Jul_28 svc:/system/zones:default online Aug_15 svc:/application/hobbit:default I need to be able to alarm if zones goes offline or if nisplus goes online (for example)... Thanks! -- --==[ Bob Gordon ]==--
