I have introduced myself before. I have been put into a position where I
have to support customers that are running PMDF on Tru64 systems. And I
admittedly do not know anything about Tru64.
The customer is running Tru64 4.0F and PMDF 6.1.
I am trying to help a customer trouble shoot a problem on TRU64 using PMDF.
The problem is that his directory channel is not starting when a message is
queued to the channel.
On UNIX the PMDF software is suppose to start a job by sending a UDP message
to port 27442, which the PMDF job controller is listening on (you can change
the port in the pmdf/table/job_controller.cnf file).
I'm betting that tcp_smtp_server is sending this UDP packet, but the system
is under such heavy load that it times out and never makes it up to the
job_controller, so the job_controller never knows to kick off a directory
master process.
My question to the Tru64 Management community is...
1. What kernel parameters would control the tcp/ip communication of a UDP
packet?
2. How can we check these parameters.
3. If any of you are managing systems with PMDF running on them, what have
you got your kernel parameters set at to make PMDF run more efficiently.
Also, if you have any ideas about what could be done to improve the
performance of this PMDF system, I would appreciate any input you could
give.
