To Detect and Fix Database Deadlocks

If the Berkeley database is in a deadlock state, you must reset the database. It is important to detect this condition as early as possible.

To enable the system to periodically check the databases to detect a deadlock state and inform the Administrator:

1. Log in as an administrator with permission to change the configuration.

2. Change to the /etc/opt/SUNWics5/cal/config directory.

3. Save your old ics.conf file by copying and renaming it.

4. Edit the ics.conf, if necessary, to have the following value:

   local.caldb.deadlock.autodetect=”yes”

   ---

   Note –

   When this parameter is set to “yes”, the db_deadlock daemon is launched that will monitor the lock region.
