Solving Problems with RPC Daemons or Local Location Brokers
Solving Problems with RPC Daemons or Local
Location Brokers
This section explains how to solve problems with RPC daemons or local
location brokers.
If a Control Agent Does Not Come up on a Node
Control agent does not come up on node, or OVO error log file contains
errors indicating an NCS or DCE problem.
Problem
If a registered OVO process stops responding, even though it is running,
there may be a problem with the NCS local location broker daemon
(llbd), or the DCE RPC daemon (dced/rpcd).
Solution for UNIX
Check that the dced/rpcd is running on the management server, and
that either an llbd or dced/rpcd is running on all managed nodes.
ps -eaf | grep dced (rpcd)
ps -eaf | grep llbd
You can use the tools rpccp/dcecp to check that rpcd/dced is running.
You can use the tool lb_admin to check whether all registered services
can still be reached or not.
Solution for MPE/iX
If the problem occurs on an MPE/iX node, this tool is also available, but
under the name NSLOOKUP.HPDCE.SYS.
