Tuning and Troubleshooting OVO
Solving Runtime Problems on UNIX Managed Nodes
If You Cannot Distribute Action Scripts or Programs
Distribution of scripts or programs belonging to actions, monitor, or
commands components fails.
Problem A
No disk space is available to store scripts or programs in a temporary or
target directory. For details, see the OVO DCE Agent Concepts and
Configuration Guide.
Solution A
Provide enough disk space and redistribute the components.
Problem B
An instance of the program is running and cannot be overridden on
UNIX platforms. OVO moves the actions|cmds|monitor directory to a
directory with the same name and the extension .old before installing
the latest binaries. Afterwards, all files in .old are erased. If this is not
possible because text files are “busy”, the file and the directory are left.
During reinstallation of the actions|cmds|monitor binaries, OVO tries
once again to delete the entries in the .old directories. If this is not
possible, the OVO control agent generates an error message and stops.
For the location of the actions|cmds|monitor directories and .old
directories see the OVO DCE Agent Concepts and Configuration Guide.
Solution B
Find the still running instance of the actions|cmds|monitor binary
and kill it manually. Afterwards re-distribute the actions, comands, and
so on.
