      We are getting the following error from the ‘hcidbdump -e’ command for two of our 7 production sites:

                             C  

                             l T

                             a y F

                             s p w

      Created  Message Id     s e d Prio State Length Source          Dest

      – – – —-

      [0:_hcidbdump_] (-6) ‘RDM Embedded DB error: “PROGRAMMER/USER error: -6

      invalid database address

      C errno = 0: Error 0″

      ‘

      [0:_hcidbdump_] Unable to read msg data chain

      Done.

      I performed an ‘hcidbinit -iC’, ‘keybuild elog’, ‘dchain elog’, and still have the problem.  Any ideas short of doing and ‘hcidbinit -AC’?

          Kevan,

          Did you open a ticket with Support on this?  And more importantly, did you get it resolved.  I would be interested in what the final outcome to this issue was.

          Thanks,

          Jim Cobane

            I did not call support.  I did, however do the following during a scheduled downtime:

            ** note the hcidbinit -AC will effectively remove all of the messages from both recovery and error databases.  In our case, for this site, this was ok… **

            * Stop all processes

            * Stop all site daemons (hcisitectl -f -K)

            * Remove the monitorshmemfile (rm $HCISITEDIR/exec/monitorShmemfile)

            * Cleanup memory region (hcimsiutil -R)

            * Remove vista.taf (rm $HCISITEDIR/exec/databases/vista.taf)

            * Cleanup site (hcisitecleanup)

            * Initialise database (hcidbinit -AC)

            * If necessary (when having DB_vista error), rebuild logs:

              – keybuild rlog

              – dchain rlog

              – keybuild elog

              – dchain elog

            * Start site daemons (hcisitectl -S)

            * Start all processes

            After this we have had no more problems.  We had a disk run out of space prior to this error showing up and that could have been the initial cause.

              Kevan,

              You didn’t mention which OS or Cloverleaf Rev level you are running.

              Unless you are 5.6 Rev 0 on AIX, you might want to update your clean-up documentation.  The vista.taf file has been replaced by rdm.taf.  AIX makes the same change at 5.6 Rev 1.

                Thanks for the info on the vista.taf.   I didn’t know that.  We are on 5.6 rev1. AIX (AIX 5.2).

                  You can also init the error db with hcidbinit -e -C – this won’t touch the recovery database.
