Last Update: 07/11/99 VLT-SW-OCT99 - Known Problems ============================= This file lists known problems and, if available, fixes and workarounds not included in the Release Notes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ****** * OS * ****** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******** * MSQL * ******** Msql boot-time startup message reports 'FAILED' but succeeds: this generally is caused by a faulty 'init.d' script which loses the correct exit code, but which nevertheless normally succeeds in starting the msql daemon ('ps -ef | grep msqld' to check if the daemon is running). A version which corrects this problem can be found in the patched files section (file is 'msql'). On your machine, substitute the file: /sbin/init.d/msql (on HP) /etc/init.d/msql (on SUN) with the patched version on the web. AH 04/02/00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******** * RTAP * ******** Solaris/RTAP License Server: The RTAP version 6.6 and 7.0 license server for Solaris has an incorrect expiry date. The correct versions in the patched files section. See the RTAP installation instructions for installing these files. AH 27/01/00 Default environment boot-time startup message reports 'FAILED' but succeeds: this generally is caused by a faulty 'init.d' script which loses the correct exit code, but which nevertheless normally succeeds in starting the default environment ('ps -ef | grep edu' to check which environments are running). A version which corrects this problem can be found in the patched files section (file is 'rtap'). On your machine, substitute the file: /sbin/init.d/rtap (on HP) /etc/init.d/rtap (on SUN) with the patched version on the web. AH 04/02/00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ******* * CCS * ******* Environment doesn't start at first attempt: (normally the first attempted startup is of the default environment at boot time) This happens after all the IPC data structures have been cleaned-up (typically after a reboot). In this case, it takes longer to start all the RTAP or QSEMU processes (because the IPC data structures must be recreated) and the vccEnvStart script fails, as the check of the existence of such processes fails. To correct the problem, a new option has been introduced for the command 'vccEnvStart': -f where is an integer in sec. (you should use 60 sec.) To use this option, on your machine substitute the following files: - $VLTROOT/bin/vccEnvStart with the vccEnvStart file that you can found in the 'patched files' section; - /sbin/init.d/rtap (on HP) or /etc/init.d/rtap (on SUN) with the rtap file that you can found in the 'patched files' section.
