The following sections describe the failure conditions for which sentryd monitors the RMTP Manager process (rmtpmgr) and the steps performed in attempts to restart rmtpmgr after failure has been detected.
The sentryd process monitors rmtpmgr for the following conditions:
Failure to initialize during automatic system startup
An unintentional exit or crash during normal operation
Inability to perform its defined tasks, for example, because it is in an infinite loop
When one of conditions described in “Monitoring the rmtpmgr Process” has been detected, sentryd performs the following tasks:
Generates the following surveillance notification:
LSMS4021|08:40 Sep 11, 1998|xxxxxxx|Notify:Sys Admin - rmtpmgr failed
Attempts to stop and restart the process. If the process restarts, no notification is posted. After the sentryd process has restarted the rmtpmgr process, sentryd then attempts to restart the following processes that exited previously due to the rmtpmgr failure:
NPAC agents (see Restarting NPAC Agent Processes)
EAGLE agents (see Restarting an EAGLE Agent Process)
Local Data Manager (see Restarting Other Processes)
If the attempt to restart the rmtpmgr process fails, sentryd attempts again. If the attempt fails again, sentryd generates the LSMS4021 notification again. If this notification appears several times in a row, contact the My Oracle Support (MOS).
