OVM Linux service hangs the system reboot

System:
Oracle VM Manager
Version: 3.1.1.305
Hello everybody,
I have the script to start the node manager on system reboot on run level 2. After rebooting my VM I can’t log on with putty anymore. So I opened the console with my RealVNC from OVM Manager and rebooted the system and I can see this service hangs the boot process.
I was able to open the boot menu in console but I don’t know how to select option “e” (edit the commands before booting) or “c” for command-line.
Is there any other way to stop this process ( control-c doesn't work either) and continue booting the system?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Hello
If the VM is paravirtualized, then you won't see the grub to press e and edit the boot option.
What you can do, is change the boot from disk to network and use the network process you used to install, but go to rescue mode.
Does this helps?

  • My computer is going to be serviced and a system reboot performed.  How do I access my Itune information stored in the cloud?

    My computer is going to be serviced and a system reboot performed.How do I access my Itune cloud when the repair is completed?  Will they all appear when Itunes is redownloaded?

    You really should back up your hard drive entirely, or at least critical files such as the iTunes folder.  iCloud and Match are not really excuses for a backup and do not back things up identically as on your computer. For one, the iTunes library file which has you playlists and which is the critical file in presenting all your media to you is likely not backed up.  If you restore from downloads you'll just end up with an unorganized collection of media file and not what you remember from using itunes now.

    Rohit,
    If its about installation/Deployment of Agent- then its through SDM,
    'configuration' can be manual or Atuomatic:
    Manual-> refer the installation Guide which digesh has mentioned -(from page 20).
    Automatic- Its through Diagnostics Setup through Solman -(Its bit easy).

  • Hard drive works, but when plugged in hangs the system

    First of all, since this is not a Linux-specific problem I'm not sure this is the right place for this post.
    Anyway, for the past few years I've been using a 250GB IDE hard drive mostly to store backups on.  For quite a while it worked fine, but when  plugged in again after being removed so I could clean out the dust in my PC it didn't work quite right anymore.  It caused the system to hang and gave error messages remniscent of those detailed on this page.  After some fiddling it worked OK for a while, and then one day it randomly did this again.  I took the ribbon cable out, then the hard drive, and realized one of the pins was pushed in (at the time I thought it was broken).  After some reading I decided to sacrifice a ribbon cable.  What I did was yank a pin off of an old DVD drive that doesn't work and shoved it in the cable where the short pin was.  I made sure it was seated well, plugged in in, and hoped for the best.  To my delight it worked without a hitch for maybe a year or more.
    And then a little more than a month ago we had lightning strike a power line outside of our house and it fried my motherboard.  I now have a replacement board, but after all of the taking apart and moving around and stuff, the hard drive is back to its old antics.  The pin-in-the-cable trick wasn't working anymore.  After I realized that the pin wasn't broken half-way but rather pushed in, I grabbed some needlenose pliers and pulled it out.  It now will plug into any ribbon cable just fine and the computer recognizes it, but it's slow at POST and hangs the system when booting the OS, whether it be Linux or Windows.  Knoppix CDs boot just fine, although slower.  S.M.A.R.T. sees no problems.
    Basically I'm wondering 2 things.  First of all, is there anything I can do to get around the hangs?  And second, I'm considering buying an external hard drive enclosure for regular 3.5 inch hard drives and using it as an external USB drive.  Since the drive does still work and I can add/remove stuff while booted in Knoppix, and the main issue seems to be my system hanging, I figure, maybe, I can just plug in the drive when I need it after the computer is already booted up and it will work fine.  Does this sound like a reasonable expectation?

    What you hear may sound like it's the hard drive, but it's really an electronic type of noise. Same with my PB. Try what BGreg said, and wait for the drive to spin down - you'll still hear the noise.
    There was a thread about this issue several months ago, and IIRC the conclusion was that it's a normal noise, and that you should just ignore it if possible.
    If you must make it quieter, set processor performance to the lowest setting in Energy Saver preferences. But it's not going away completely.

  • SSH startup script when the system reboot

    Hi all,
    I have a script for start/stop for sshd and it is fully tested and worked well. I have create the link to rc2.d. When the system reboot, 'PRNG not seed' is shown and the sshd cannot start up after reboot. Then, I can start sshd manually. Is it possible to start the sshd automatically after reboot?
    Please advise.
    Thank you for your attention.

    If you're running prngd daemon for entropy generation on your system, make sure prngd starts before sshd. It seems like you're able to successfully start the sshd daemon manually because prngd has already been started on systems bootup.

  • If changing the hostname of the Audit Vault Server version 12.1.2 please wait until the system reboots automatically.

    Hi everyone
    when changing the hostname of an AV Server in the newly released version 12.1.2, it can take up to 10 minutes from the time a user click ok on the pop-up message "Are you sure you want to reboot the Audit Vault Server for the changes to take affect" to the system actually shutting down for the reboot. The machine must not be manually rebooted as this will cause errors.
    Some background information was provided by one of Oracle's developers for this product:
    AVDF 12.1.2.0.0 uses Oracle Grid in Restart Configuration. This is needed to leverage the ASM infrastructure to create diskgroups etc. So, when a hostname of a system is changed, the entire Grid stack needs to be re-configured to work under the new hostname. This re-configuration is needed because Grid creates a lot of directories with the hostname in them and when the hostname is changed, it tries to look for critical configuration files under this new "hostname" and of course, they would not be present. Hence, when we change the hostname, an entire re-configuration of the Clusterware is attempted, at which point a new set of directories with the new hostname will be created by the Grid software.
    This reconfiguration operation may take a few minutes to several minutes depending on the hardware/resource specs. This is because re-configuration of the Clusterware stack is a heavy-weight operation and takes time (It needs to shutdown all the CRS services and re-configure them and bring them back up). Hence, the long duration it takes before re-boot. You *MUST NOT* reboot it manually before the system automatically reboots -- otherwise the re-configuration operation will only be half-done. The chances of this re-configuration operation failing is very, very minimal (based on our tests). So, given enough time it _WILL_ complete eventually and the system _WILL_ automatically reboot. You just need to wait for it to happen.
    Hope this will avoid any issues,
    greetings,
    Harm ten Napel

    I may add it was my personal impatience that lead to this discovery: I was re-imaging my virtualbox install with the new 12.1.2 version (for testing purposes) and I want my AV server to be called 'auditvault', when it appeared nothing was happening (but there was) I rebooted the system manually with said results...

  • Windows update hangs the system after shutting it down

    I have shut down the system while it was updating the system (Microsoft update). Now it hangs, telling that update nr 11 of 13 is busy
    what should I do?
    The os is windows 8.1

    The system should be able to start an automatic repair.
    First of all you should perform a complete shut down of Win 8.1 as described in this document:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
    After that you should reboot the notebook…. Usually the system would start a self-repair procedure which should fix the update issue.

  • Printing TIFF files hangs the system, is there a workaround?

    When printing large tiff files (e.g., exported layout images from CAD) the system becomes unresponsive and it takes time to print. Even after the image is printed, the system works very slowly.
    It seems to be a bug, or is there any workaround to prevent the system to hang?
    Thank you, Jan

    There are two similar bugs:
    The LPC+crop bug started with ACR 6.1 and was fixed in 8.2.
    The LPC mystery bug started with ACR 7.3 and was fixed in 8.6.
    Both bugs cause repeated thumbnail extractions in Bridge on some images with Lens Profile Corrections enabled.
    As you are on ACR 6.7 it can only be the first bug. The only workaround I know is to ensure that the crop does not touch the edge of the corrected image. A few pixels gap will do it. Also, it helps to keep less images in a folder--but this can't be avoided when using Collections or Finds.
    I'd imagine that Adobe won't fix CS5 just for this. Presumably there's something in the smallprint which admonishes them from responsibility after the shelf life of the product ends. To be fair, it's not like they fixed it straight away in CS6, unlike the Bridge CS5 database bug (thanks, Adobe). They were only able to reproduce the fault in summer 2013.

  • QRFC jobs hangs the system

    Hi,
      We have a problem with QRFCs. We created 50 queues programmatically and run some job in each queue. If the job is run directly, it takes only 2-3 minutes to finish. But when this is scheduled in the queue, in the queue monitor (SMQ1) it shows the process is running. Most of the dialog workprocess gets used up and the system hangs. We can't even login to the system. The situation is the same even after 24hrs and no actual work is done.
    I feel some problem with system settings. Looked in to some notes like 527481, but most of their suggestions regarding profile parameters are already the taken care.
    In the system log (SM21) I can see lots of these errors 'No APPC block received'.
    Please help..
    Regards
    Ajith Chandran

    The change or inclusion of these parameters worked for us.

  • Push notification service fills the system log with errors

    When I have the push notification service enabled, my system logs become filled with messages such as this:
    Sep 8 22:54:54 xserve jabberd/c2s[2175]: [7] [::ffff:192.168.1.100, port=50064] connect
    Sep 8 22:54:54 xserve jabberd/c2s[2175]: [7] [::ffff:192.168.1.100, port=50064] disconnect jid=unbound, packets: 0
    They occur at a rate of about two every second. What does that message mean and how do I stop it?

    When I took a look at push notification, I noticed that it was listening to a different port than what dovecot had been configured to use.(jabberd was set to listen to 5347, while Dovecot (email) was using the standard 5222 port for that open protocol. Not sure what the ichat server is set to use.
    Eventually, I did manage to get it working by updating the push notification config to listen to 5222. But it made no real difference because thunderbird and mail.app prefer imap updatings instead of push notification. So I turned it off.
    Not sure if this is of any help to you.

  • Calling ABAP Web Service on the system with two application servers

    Hello all,
    I try to figure out, how to setup a web service in the TC WSCONFIG in the multi application server environment.
    Basically the requirement is that when WSClient calls my WS, it should not care about accessibility of one or another application server. In other words the WS's URI should contain the IP/domain name of "SAP Web Dispatcher" or other component, which handles the loadbalancing.
    I think it could be done in ICM within WSCONFIG transaction, but I'm completely lost inside the setup. Also I was not able to find proper helpsap page with the description.
    Is there a WEBLOG or any other document how to setup this ?
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    Regards
    Tom

    Hello,
    You do not have anything to do in SAP transactions.
    The HTTP load balancing is the SAP Web dispatcher job.
    Just install and configure the web dispatcher. Follow HELP.SAP.COM, it is well explained.
    We use this config to load balance 200 000 web servce calls/day on 5 abap application servers.

  • SetWindowsHookEx(WH_JOURNALRECORD) is hanging the system on Windows 7 and Windows 8

    I'm in the process of porting an old application that uses the Journal Record Hooks to record macros to Windows 7/8. I've done everything that needs to be done to make this works, that is :
    set uiAccess=true in the manifest
    sign the application with a valid certificate
    execute the application from the Program Files folder
    After doing all this, the hook install correctly and it works. However, sometimes, for no apparent reason, the system freeze in a weird way : my keyboard and mouse inputs doesn't reach any application and the only thing I can do is ctrl-alt-del or ctrl-esc,
    which uninstalls all system wide hooks and thus, unfreeze the system.
    I've added some trace logs and I've discovered that when it happens, the SetWindowsHook function returns a valid hook handler, my hook function is called, but only once and then the system freezes. I've actually cleaned up my hook function and the only thing
    I'm doing is return 0.
    Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

    Hello subbtract,
    >> the SetWindowsHook function returns a valid hook handler, my hook function is called, but only once and then the system freezes.
    Will your tested machines be fresh which I means there is other application installed except yours? If possible, I suggest you could make a test with conditions above, if the system is still frozen, this should a issue of system about the SetWindowsHook
    function. You could post it to:
    https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio
    While if it works with a fresh machine, this issue could be caused by features of installed applications. You could then compare worked and not worked to check the difference.

  • Kodi hangs the system

    I am searching solution for this for about a half year.
    XBMC/KODI freezes whole system (it doesn't respond to any input, even http or ssh stops to respond), sometimes whein it starts, often when searching for new files in music folders, sometimes totally randomly. Here is the last debug log. It's from clean install of kodi with deleted .kodi dir.
    I am running a fully updated Arch Linux x86 on old Pentium 4 computer with 1.5GB RAM and AMD Radeon X1650 PRO using open drivers.

  • Oracle Linux 4 hangs after first reboot....@ GRUB Loading stage2

    Hi Linux experts,
    after I installed Oracle Linux 4(on Vmware), I go through the 4 ISO images(that I had burnt to CDs)...After the 4th CD is done, I have to do the first Linux reboot...Linux hangs on
    "GRUB Loading stage2...."
    Any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I'm using Chan's article to install Linux on top of Vmware. His article is on http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/chan-bul-vmware.html#2.
    Maybe I missed step 11 of his instructions.....but it says leave the default /dev/sda1...thats what I did.
