12 HP 9000 Containers troubleshooting
This chapter explains how to troubleshoot HP 9000 Containers, lists common problems you might
encounter, and suggests how to resolve them.
12.1 Verifying HP 9000 container health
Verifying container status
Log in to the global container as root and run the following command:
$ srp -status <srp_name> -v
Verify whether the connectivity to the HP 9000 container is properly working from both the global
container and another system.
Verifying container startup logs
Examine the /var/hpsrp/<srp_name>/etc/rc.log file to verify whether the previous startup
and shutdown were proper. Search the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file on the host for
SRP to know the list of operations performed on the container.
Verifying container configuration
Log in to the global container and run the following command:
$ srp –list <srp_name> -v
Verifying PRM configuration and statistics
Log in to the global container and run the following commands:
$ prmlist –g –s
$ prmmonitor
Verifying network configuration
Log in to the global container and run the following command to verify whether the container
interfaces are up:
$ netstat –in
Also, verify whether a default gateway is associated with the container.
$ netstat –rn
Verifying kernel parameters
Legacy containers cannot support large PIDs and large base page size.
Set the related kernel parameters to their supported values using:
$ kctune base_pagesize=4
$ kctune process_id_max=30000
$ kctune nproc=30000
Some legacy 32-bit applications also expect a lower value for shmmax.
Reduce shmmax value using:
$ kctune shmmax=0x40000000
