Re: [nv-l] ovtopmd error

There is probably nothing that you as a user can do about this. When a core occurs on a daemon it is because it encountered some unexpected condition from which it cannot recover. Your only recourse is to contact IBM support. They will tell you that 7.1.1 is out of support and they will assist you in obtaining more current code.

The documentation you have provided here, netfmt, only shows that ipmap exited because it lost contact with ovtopmd. It does not indicate why ovtopmd exited. The only relevant information would be in the core file produced and saved in /usr/OV/PD/cores/ovtopmd. You can run /usr/OV/service/readcore on that core file if you have AIX's dbx program installed. That will produce a core.report that will give some indication as to what happened, but most likely there is an object in your database which has been corrupted and the ovtopmd you have does not know how to deal with it. That's why you need a new version of it.
