UV 10.0.8, Solaris 8: We had a 'situation' in which I think UniVerse basically became constipated.
Late this morning users reported that they were halted - they finished their last task and then... nothing. I immediately worried that the VOC file in our production account had locks... no such luck. I then checked the ./uvhome/errlog file and... nothing out of the ordinary. LIST.READU EVERY showed nothing out of the ordinary... except... occasional group locks on Group address zero and one. The more UniVerse decayed, the worse our system looked from UniVerse... at the worst, we had zero % idle, 95% kernel and 5% user activity. A combination of MASTER OFF commands from the UV account and from the UniAdmin GUI finally got all users off. We rebooted the system, and so far all appears to be OK. Because it appeared that users were halting when they hit the VOC and VOCLIB files, I feared a group lock on either... and this proved not to be the case. The only thing that was obviously strange was the Type 30 semaphore (nearly all of our files are dynamic). Collisions were at 10253 and retries (which, as I understand it, should be only slightly higher than the number in collisions) were at "-808871239"... I wonder if the minus sign means retries were being expressed in scientific notation... So, has anyone come across these symptoms before?
