Signalware Failing to start – nrplinker failure

Leave a reply

I did a controlled shutdown of one of my OMNI/Signalware boxes, but when  fired it back up omni was refusing to run. The message indicated was:

It turns out that the / partition was full.

Clear up some space (delete old OMNI logs) and we were back in business.

 

/etc/hosts and Signalware – DFdaemon issues

3 Replies

While doing an install of Signalware’s SIGTRAN stack (SignalWare 9.0 SP6) I had big problems getting it to actually work. The menu install process ran as expected, but the node wasn’t commissioned and therefore the go.omni process wouldn’t start, as the DFconvert step was failing.

It turns out the root cause was a problem with DFdaemon (this is a service that has something to do with maintaining the file system used by Ulticom). The service was running, but when I tried DFdaemon_status it was timing out.

Eventually killed off the service (init kept restarting it) by commenting out the contents of the init file and kill -15 1 a few times, and ran it manually in debug mode:

root@server init]# DFdaemon -d

It seems that for some reason the localhost entry for IPv6 was causing a problem. The entry that was part of the server build looked like this:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost

It should be like this:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

With that DFconvert ran and the rest of the process was fine.
