Known CDS Problems
Resource Problems
It is important to configure sufficient resources for DCE according to the
instructions in this manual. CDS can fail if a CDS server or client system
runs out of system resources such as swap space, disk space, or kernel
resources. Symptoms usually include a cdsadv or cdsd crash with one of
a variety of error messages (which may not directly indicate the source of
the problem.)
If a CDS problem is linked to a shortage of resources, stop DCE, free or
configure more resources, and then restart DCE to bring the node back
on-line in the cell.
Clock Reversal Problems
CAUTION Timestamps are used in the CDS database to establish the order of
events in changes to the name space. If the date/time on a DCE node is
manually set backward more than a few minutes, the CDS database can
become corrupted, crashing cdsd, and leaving the cell unusable. This is
unrecoverable unless you have a recent backup. It is therefore
imperative that manual clock resetting be avoided on DCE nodes.
