Problems mounting an OCFS2 filesystem under Linux – Transport endpoint is not connected

Posted by Emerson Takahashi on June 15, 2009

I had a problem mounting an ocfs2 filesystem under Oracle Cluster Management Software.
root@oracm1:~# mount -a
mount.ocfs2: Transport endpoint is not connected while mounting /dev/mapper/oravg01-lvu03 on /u03. Check ‘dmesg’ for more information on this error.

The error message said to check dmesg for more information and there it was. The cluster was not handshaking with the other node because the network timeout was different.
root@oracm1:~# dmesg
Buffer I/O error on device sdab, logical block 262143
(8290,0):o2net_check_handshake:1180 node brsaoora2 (num 1) at 192.168.2.101:7777 uses a network idle timeout of 10000 ms, but we use 30000 ms locally. disconnecting

ocfs2: Unmounting device (253,7) on (node 0)

I entered the other cluster node to check the cluster status. The heartbeat is active and the timeout is 10000.
root@oracm2:~# service o2cb status

The host oracm1 needs to have exactly the same configuration as oracm2, so I invoked the o2cb script with the configure parameter to reconfigure the timeout.
root@oracm1:~# service o2cb configure
Configuring the O2CB driver.

This will configure the on-boot properties of the O2CB driver.
The following questions will determine whether the driver is loaded on
boot. The current values will be shown in brackets (’[]‘). Hitting
<ENTER> without typing an answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C
will abort.

Load O2CB driver on boot (y/n) [y]: y
Cluster to start on boot (Enter “none” to clear) [ocfs2]: ocfs2
Specify heartbeat dead threshold (>=7) [61]: 61
Specify network idle timeout in ms (>=5000) [30000]: 10000
Specify network keepalive delay in ms (>=1000) [5000]: 5000
Specify network reconnect delay in ms (>=2000) [2000]: 2000
Writing O2CB configuration: OK
O2CB cluster ocfs2 already online

I restarted the o2cb service
root@oracm1:~# service o2cb stop
root@oracm1:~# service o2cb start

And checked that the node entered the cluster.
root@oracm1:$ORACLE_HOME/oracm/log # grep “Successful reconfiguration” cm.log

Xming – Warning: Cannot convert string to type FontStruct

Posted by Emerson Takahashi on May 2, 2009

I have a Windows desktop and I was connecting to a Linux server and starting an X11 application where displayed the following “error” message:

Warning: Cannot convert string “-*-lucida-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1″ to type FontStruct

I downloaded Xming-fonts and this solved the problem for me.

Download IBM WebSM for HMC v6

Posted by Emerson Takahashi on April 13, 2009

To download the Web Based System Manager client you simply open a browser window and type the URL http://<ip address of your HMC>/remote_client.html.

The Hardware Management Console v7 has web access, so you don’t need to install a client to use it.

Getting console access using IBM HMC v6 Command Line

Posted by Emerson Takahashi on April 13, 2009

To get a console access through a remote connection, first ssh to the HMC

emerson@shellcore:~ $ ssh hscroot@hmc6
password:

Then type vtmenu. It will retrieve all the physical servers connected and that can be managed by the HMC.

hscroot@localhost:~> vtmenu

AIX Error Code 0503-003 geninstall: The specified device is not a valid device or file.

Posted by Emerson Takahashi on February 28, 2009

I had the following error when trying to upgrade AIX Maintenance Level: 0503-003 geninstall: The specified device /tmp/patches is not a valid device or file.

What happened is that my .toc file was empty and I needed to recreate it using inutoc /tmp/patches. After that the upgrade went smoothly.

root@aix53:/ # instfix -i | grep ML

Gears of War 2 in Brazil – Confusion over Flashback Maps DLC outside USA

Being a physical key in your phone is an advantage that can’t be dismissed because not everyone knows how to access every function of their mobile phone.
