CLI Batch Mode Does Not Work After Uninstalling and Reinstalling the Server (6298127)

Assume that the command-line interface (CLI) batch mode is run on system2, where back-end processes are created.

CLI batch mode does not work in the following scenarios:

• The user uninstalls and reinstalls the server on system1 and tries to connect to system1 by using the batch mode from system2.

• A temporary network disconnection has occurred between system1 and system2. The user is trying to connect to system1 by using the batch mode from system2.

CLI batch mode does not work because uninstalling the server does not kill the back-end process.

Workaround: Follow these steps to kill the back-end process:

1. View the running back-end processes:

   # cat /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cli/process-file

   The process-file has the following format for each process:

   <username>:<hostname>:<cpid>:<jpid>, where cpid is the C process id and jpid is the Java process id. Note the IDs of the processes that you want to kill.

2. Kill the back-end process:

   # kill -9 <cpid> <jpid>
