Notes on Cell Administration
Administering CDS
| 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 |
| |
| Clock Reversal Problems |
| Timestamps are used in the CDS database to establish the order of |
CAUTION | |
| 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. |
