Framework Error Messages

The following error messages are potentially produced by the Sun Cluster process monitor facility. These messages were omitted from the Sun Cluster 2.2 Error Messages Manual.

SUNWcluster.pmf.1030: failfast_open: running with failfast in debug/disabled mode

This message indicates that the pmf daemon, pmfd, is running in debug mode. A non-responsive pmfd will not trigger a failfast panic while running in this mode. This is a notification message only. No action is required.

SUNWcluster.pmf.1031: pmfd_failfast_thread: re-armed in %lld ms, was expecting %lld ms with variance of %lld ms

The rpc.pmfd daemon registers with the failfast timer on startup, and then a reset thread is spawned to rearm the failfast timeout continuously. This warning message is printed when this reset thread is scheduled past the expected time plus some padding or variance time. The variance is set at 10% of rearm time initially (5.5 seconds), and then is incremented to twice the rearm time (10 seconds). This only affects the rate at which messages are printed, not the rearm time or the timeout. This warning message indicates an excessive workload on this node, which in turn is causing a delay in the scheduling of the pmfd failfast reset thread. Further delay of this thread could result in a failfast timeout.

in.rdiscd[517]: setsockopt
(IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP): Cannot assign requested address

This error message might be displayed when you stop a cluster node. The error is caused by a timing issue between the in.rdiscd daemon and the IP module. It is harmless and can be ignored safely.

WARNING: lockd: cannot contact statd (error 4), continuing.

On clusters using Sun Cluster HA for NFS on Solaris 7, this error message is displayed if the lockd daemon is killed before the statd daemon is fully running. This error message can be ignored safely.
