Hi
There have been a number of mentions in this list about the send & recv queue
figures for nvcorrd on a netstat -a display.
Since my AIX 4.3.3 production system was rebooted out from under Netview by an
IBM tech for hardware maintenance I have noticed that the netstat -a display
shows non-zero values for nvcorrd and a partner socket. These values vary from
time to time but never reach zero.
I also note that an ovstatus display shows that the trapgend & mgragentd
daemons report OVs_NON_WELL_BEHAVED status - this may be a red herring as this
is also the case on my development Netview system which was not rebooted and on
which the nvcorrd netstat report showes zero length on the queues.
The rule processing seems to be a bit flaky but it is also the case that the
production Netview box is handling a large number of traps in addition to the
normal network events.
Is this high queue length on nvcorrd a sign of a problem (in which case where
do I look?) or just a sign of a very busy box (in which case how do I tell how
close it is to choking to death?)
Cheers - Gavin
