Error description

  • If snmpd daemon has been stopped for a time shorter than
    60 seconds then it is very probable that the PowerHA
    cluster manager will not be able to re-connect to
    the snmpd daemon.
    It will try to get the connection back once a minute
    failing each time until it will give up after 60 minutes.
    
    The following symptoms can be observed:
    
    - the cldump command gets hung instead of returning
    reasonable output:
    $ cldump
    
    cldump: Waiting for the Cluster SMUX peer (clstrmgrES
    to stabilize.............
    
    - the cluster manager debug log:
    /var/hacmp/log/clstrmgr.debug
    is reporting the following entries:
    ...
    Thu Aug  1 03:36:53 ConnectToSnmp(): called, smuxFd is
    -1,
     retry count 17
    Thu Aug  1 03:36:53 ConnectToSnmp: smux_init returned -1,

    Thu Aug  1 03:39:53 ConnectToSnmp: smux_init returned -1,
     scheduled retry timer 11876
    ...
    Once the cluster manager has given up to connect to snmp
    it reports this:
    ...

    Thu Aug  1 04:30:53 ConnectToSnmp: smux_init returned -1,
     scheduled retry timer 12029
    Thu Aug  1 04:31:53 ConnectToSnmp(): called, smuxFd is
    -1,
     retry count 61
    Thu Aug  1 04:31:54 HACMP: clstrmgrES: Unable to connect
    to SNMP after 62 retries, giving up.
    To restart connection attempts, refresh or restart
    clstrmgr
    ...
    

Local fix

  • The is a workaround to stop and restart the snmpd daemon
    and all snmpd dependent daemons next in a proper order.
    It is suggested to let the snmpd daemon be disabled for
    a time longer than 60 seconds before it restarts.
    Refreshing the cluster manager daemon may be required
    in certain cases.
    

Problem summary

  • On restarting process snmpd, console may show log message like
    below.
    example:
     snmpd: 1473-191 bind() function failed for SMUX inet socket.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code modified on snmpd to bind to smux port on restarts.
    

Temporary fix
