  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • During an attempt to configure a new cluster environment
    at AIX 7.2, the mkcluster command may core dump.
    clusterconf or clconfd can also core dump when a node
    is attempting to JOIN the cluster.
    The stack trace of the dump appears as follows:
    iam_line_owner(??, ??) at 0xd1059444
    read_netmon_entries(??, ??) at 0xd1059800
    sync_netmon_entries() at 0xd105ac4c
    ...
    

Local fix

  • Work around:
     - save /usr/es/sbin/cluster/netmon.cf file
     - remove all the netmon entries from netmon.cf file.
     - run cldare which calls the mkcluster to create
       caa_private.
     - copy netmon.cf to its original file.
    

Problem summary

  • A node will fail to JOIN due to clusterconf or clconfd core
    dump.  mkcluster will also fail with core dump.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Correct traversal of interface query data
    

Temporary fix
