TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the following quick steps to debug/triage HP 9000 Containers configuration, setup and runtime
issues.
Check container status:
$ srp -status <srp_name>
Check container startup logs:
$ more /var/hpsrp/<srp_name> /etc/rc.log
Validate container configuration:
$ srp -list <srp_name> -v
Check kernel tunable parameter values:
$ kctune base_pagesize (not greater than 4)
$ kctune process_id_max (not greater than 30000)
Some 32-bit applications may need a lower value for shmmax kernel tunable parameter:
$ kctune shmmax (not greater than 0x40000000)
To collect application system call trace logs, install the HP-UX system call tracer (
tusc
) on the host sys-
tem and copy the tusc binary into the container:
$ tusc -o <output file path> -lpfkev <executable> <arguments>
Disable ARIES optimizations by configuring the following in
/.ariesrc (32-bit) or /.aries64rc (64-
bit):
$ <executable path> -noopt
Re-configuring an HP 9000 Container:
$ srp -stop <srp_name>
$ srp -replace <srp_name>
