RE: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6 daemon won't die
In general, a process that won't die with a -9 is hung on pending I/O. Pretty consistent with avrd's role. The only fix to a hung I/O process is to satisfy the I/O request or reboot. Sorry - unsatisfying answer. -M -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Brzozowski, Dwayne Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 3:49 PM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6 daemon won't die Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a NetBackup 6.0 Solaris 9 master.

True, but every once in a while, there might be a way to do the first one (from the program API point of view). Basically the I/O driver is out to lunch, and 99.99% of the time, there won't be any user-process way to poke it in the ribs. There are quite a few times I've had good luck with power-cycling the device it's talking to. Sometimes the driver notices that and wakes up, finishing the system call and letting the program continue (or die). Not all the time though. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOShttp://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
