Serviceguard Extension for RAC Version A.11.18 Release Notes
Patches and Fixes in this Version
Chapter 1 31
SR:8606453198
(JAGag09971) Problem: errors when /etc/cmcluster’s file system
becomes full (SGeRAC installations only). When the
file system where /etc/cmcluster resides became full
when Serviceguard Extension for RAC was running,
and Oracle software was trying to request a group
membership change, messages such as the following
appeared in syslog:
cmgmsd[1997]: Unable to apply the configuration
change due to insufficient disk space.
cmgmsd[1997]:
ERROR: commit_cdb_txn: Failed to commit
transaction (28, No space left on device) This
could ultimately lead to various Oracle
failures.
Resolution: cmgmsd transactions no longer fail if there
is not enough disk space to write them to the binary
configuration file. An error is written to syslog but
the transaction completes, preventing Oracle errors.
The transaction is written to disk on nodes which have
enough space.
SGeRAC Version A.11.17 requires Serviceguard patch
