Number of Process is increasing in solman host.

[Former Member]

Hi All,

In solution manager recently configured the SAP host agent in SVX.

There are n number of process is running in the os level?

ps -ef | grep sap

root     29836 10726  0 Mar03 ?        00:00:00 [lssap] <defunct>

root     29884 10726  0 Mar01 ?        00:00:00 [lssap] <defunct>

root     29889 10726  0 Mar01 ?        00:00:00 [sapdbctrl] <defunct>

root     29978 10726  0 Mar03 ?        00:00:00 [sapdbctrl] <defunct>

root     30034 10726  0 Mar03 ?        00:00:00 [sapdbctrl] <defunct>

I checked the dev_sapdbctrl in solman.

[PID 20968] *** ERROR => Failed to open file '/var/opt/.hdb/a010525p200/installations.client': No such file or directory [dbhdbctrl.cpp 463][PID 20968] *** ERROR => Initialization of database control library 'libsapdbhdbctrl.so' for database type 'hdb' failed. Please check your installation. [sapdbctrl.cp 2611]

sh: /usr/local/bin/db2ls: No such file or directory.

Kindly give the solution for this.

Thanks,

Hi,

 checked the dev_sapdbctrl in solman.

[PID 20968] *** ERROR => Failed to open file '/var/opt/.hdb/a010525p200/installations.client': No such file or directory [dbhdbctrl.cpp 463][PID 20968] *** ERROR => Initialization of database control library 'libsapdbhdbctrl.so' for database type 'hdb' failed. Please check your installation. [sapdbctrl.cp 2611]
sh: /usr/local/bin/db2ls: No such file or directory.

I see that you are using HDB, might be you need special settings for these kind of DBs, even hostagent has some restriction with oracle.

Hence I could suggest you check these notes 1625203 - saphostagent/sapdbctrl for NewDB

Could get some hints.

Thanks

What is the name of the parent process for these processes?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

The parent process is saphostexec child process is sapstartsrv

kernel release: 720

kernel patch number: 114

kernel os: linuxx86_64

compilation mode: Non-Unicode

compiled for: 64 BIT

hostagent release: 7.20

hostagent patch number: 87

hostagent os: linuxx86_64

compilation mode: Non-Unicode

compiled for: 64 BIT

In my understanding sapstartsrv is waiting for something in the localhost I checked netstat -anp | grep parentprocessID there are n nomber of process running like.

tcp        1      0 127.0.0.1:1128          127.0.0.1:50330         CLOSE_WAIT  23607/sapstartsrv

tcp        1      0 127.0.0.1:1128          127.0.0.1:64609         CLOSE_WAIT  23607/sapstartsrv

tcp        1      0 10.169.70.7:1128        10.169.70.7:44862       CLOSE_WAIT  23607/sapstartsrv

tcp        1      0 127.0.0.1:1128          127.0.0.1:50965         CLOSE_WAIT  23607/sapstartsrv

Kindly help me to fix it.

Not sure that it is true. Can you attach screenshots with <defunct> processes and parent process for these <defunct> processes?

Please update SAP Host Agent binaries to latest PL.

check 1689462 - DB6: db2ls error in dev_sapdbctrl

[Former Member]

Hi all,

My question is why this zombie process is increasing?

root     29884 10726  0 Mar01 ?        00:00:00 [lssap] <defunct>

root     29889 10726  0 Mar01 ?        00:00:00 [sapdbctrl] <defunct>

If there may any issue in sap host agent configuration?

Thanks

This may be due to bug in the kernel.

what is the kernel version you have? as per the note this issue resolved in 7.20 patch level 97
