SUMMARY: storapid problem with lots of defunct processes

Hi

I've received the following answer from Aco Blazeski  - thanks to you !

The problem was that there came a lot of defunct processes at my systems,
created by the storapid process....



Hi Tina,

I have the same problem. I don't know if you have solved it, but in case
you did not then:

Environment:  EMC SW: Solution Enabler 6.0.2
Environment:  EMC SW: Solution Enabler 6.0.0
Problem:  storapid is spawning defunct processes
Problem:  numerous defunct storapid's children
Root Cause:  storapid PID leak issue in file silfindd.c
Fix:  The fix is included in Solution Enabler 6.2.0. This issue is not seen
in Solution Enabler 6.0.0

And in case you don't have 6.2.0 then:

"The storapid (base daemon) may be hung; the following procedure will allow
you to restart it.

#ps -ef | grep storapid

 root 22570     1   0   06 Apr      -  6:29 storapid start -name storapid
 root 31112 24038   2 12:27:40  pts/0  0:00 grep storapid

To shutdown the storapid daemon via software:

#/usr/symcli/storbin/stordaemon shutdown storapid

storapid                        Told to shutdown
Waiting for daemon(s) to shutdown.  This may take several seconds.

If the above command fails you can also do kill -9 on PID from your 'ps
-ef' output to kill the daemon process.
Restart The Daemon and verify that it has started again:

#/usr/symcli/storbin/stordaemon start storapid

Waiting for daemon to start.  This may take several seconds.

# ps -ef | grep storapid
    root 27546 24038   1 12:30:48  pts/0  0:00 grep storapid
    root 31114     1   0 12:29:55      -  0:00 storapid start -name
storapid
"
