Managing the Request Queue

The farm operations initiated using the Control Center or the farm command are queued for the segment manager. The segment manager processes the request, and dispatches the request to the farm manager, which actually does the work. When investigating problems, ensure that your request has not stalled along the way to the farm manager.

If there are no critical errors or messages relating to requests that are being processed in the tspr.debug file of the segment manager, check the request queue to verify that your request has been processed.

The request command is used to view the request queue:

• To list all current requests in the N1 Provisioning Server, run the command request -l.

• To list all current requests for a farm, run the command request -lf farm-ID.

• To list all completed requests for a farm, run the command request -lcf farm-ID.

• To list all requests for a farm, run the command request -laf farm-ID.

For more information on the request command and its usage, see the request man page.

If your request is still in the queue in the QUEUED state, the request has not been processed yet. If no other requests are ahead of this request for your farm, the request queue might have stalled. The next section describes how to resolve this problem.
