Problem in main vda host: vdadb:sql in maintenance

Question

Hi, I dont find a way to solve this, the installation went without problems or error messages, but still have this problem, is any of this normal?
root [ ~ ]# cacaoadm status
default instance is DISABLED at system startup.
default instance is not running.
root [ ~ ]# svcs -a|grep vda

the process wont go up because of this:

- Starting Management Node... Unable to setup port: *:1186!
Please check if the port is already used,
(perhaps a ndb_mgmd is already running),
and if you are executing on the correct computer
OK

Error (255)

even after stopping the vda services:
root [ ~ ]# cacaoadm stop --force
the process is still there:
root [ ~ ]# ps -ef|grep vda
root 27168 1 0 08:34:26 ? 0:14 /opt/SUNWvda/mysql/bin/ndb_mgmd -f /etc/opt/SUNWvda/config.ini
which is the one who has the port in use:
root [ ~ ]# pfiles 27168|grep 1186
sockname: AF_INET 0.0.0.0 port: 1186
peername: AF_INET 127.0.0.1 port: 1186
sockname: AF_INET 127.0.0.1 port: 1186
sockname: AF_INET 129.153.207.114 port: 1186
sockname: AF_INET 129.153.207.114 port: 1186
which is respawned by someone:
root [ ~ ]# kill 27168
root [ ~ ]# ps -ef|grep vda
root 11556 1 0 12:48:07 ? 0:00 /opt/SUNWvda/mysql/bin/ndb_mgmd -f /etc/opt/SUNWvda/config.ini
is all these the "normal" behaviour in the main vda host?
the secondaries show:
root [ ~ ]# cacaoadm status
default instance is ENABLED at system startup.
Smf monitoring process:
19625
19627
Uptime: 0 day(s), 4:5
and because of this, I think, I cannot connect to the webpage in the
main vda host, but can connect to the secondaries.
is there something I am missing, doing wrong or should be doing in other way?
thanks in avance

That's right. The primary host won't host any other service, unless you execute 'vda-config' a second, which is actually not recommended.
So, no web UI and no 'vdadb:sql' will be activated; if those services are activated by hand, it may cause unexpected results.
ok, then svcadm clear/enable vdadb:sql is a no-no ... got it.
then the cacaoadm status output is correct/fine:
default instance is DISABLED at system startup.
default instance is not running.
Haven't read thoroughly your cloning-related-thread, but it just seems that "something" is devouring memory in your VirtualBox host.
well, I suspended the use of firefox and signed out as root from the console

being this one the mem-eater:

I assume "it" is part of the vdi deployment...
now, as stated in the cloning problem post, I am still getting the cryptic:
Error cloning: No suitable hosts to start a desktop for Desktop Provider venezuela.
you might want (I invite you) to take a look at the post,
the only difference between then and now is that I finally brought up the openldap
server inside a zone on one of the servers, and added it as the user directory as I
couldnt get to make it work with the win2003 active directory (can be treated in a
separate post if needed)...
thanks again
