Symptoms

This document describes an ACSLS hang event because of a Sun Explorer bug.


The following semaphore errors are logged in acsss_event.log:

2007-10-08 15:55:02 ACSMON process[0]:
469 N cl_dshm_attach.c 1 163
cl_dshm_attach: Error 5
on call to cl_sem_lock with id 0. Status=STATUS_IPC_FAILURE

2007-10-08 15:55:30 ACSMON process[0]:
525 N dv_get.c 1 549
dv_get: st_do_common_checking: status STATUS_IPC_FAILURE on call to
cl_dshm_attach(reattach) with key=0x410086ef

...

2007-10-19 11:28:36 ACSLH[0]:
469 N cl_dshm_attach.c 1 163
cl_dshm_attach: Error 22
on call to cl_sem_lock with id 0. Status=STATUS_IPC_FAILURE

2007-10-19 11:28:36 ACSLH[0]:
525 N dv_get.c 1 549
dv_get: st_do_common_checking: status STATUS_IPC_FAILURE on call to
cl_dshm_attach(reattach) with key=0x410086ef




The 'ipcs -a' output shows a lot of these semaphore entries:

s 17 0 ----------- root root no-entry 18:32:40 user.root
s 16 0 ----------- root root no-entry 18:32:40 user.root
s 15 0 ----------- root root no-entry 18:32:40 user.root
s 14 0 ----------- root root no-entry 18:32:40 user.root
s 13 0 ----------- root root no-entry 18:32:40 user.root
s 12 0 ----------- root root no-entry 18:32:40 user.root
s 11 0 ----------- root root no-entry 18:32:40 user.root
