Agent Performance Becomes Degraded or Unresponsive (6247892)

An agent has crashed leaving scm-container* files in the /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/ directory. When the agent restarts, it might not perform in an optimal manner. This condition might identify itself by the following error message:

Insufficient security privilege to complete the operation.

You can determine the state of the processes on the agent by typing the following command:

% ps -eaf | grep esd

Workaround: To improve performance, type the following commands:

1. Become superuser.

   % su -

2. Stop the agent.

   # /opt/SUNWsymon/sbin es-stop -a

3. Delete the state files.

   # rm /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/scm-container*

4. Restart the agent.

   #/opt/SUNWsymon/sbin/es-start -a
