Defect Number Problem and Resolution
SR:8606453198
[LINEBREAK](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 syslogbut 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 PHSS_35371.
