I monitor the status of all logical drives on one of our servers usinf remote arcconf (adaptec controller). All works fine for some time. After a few days the controller can't be monitored anymore using arcconf. No data is returned.
Once restarting sfcbd-watchdog (/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart) helped. But the last two times a restart isn't possible with the following message:
/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog stop
Getting Exclusive access, please wait...
Exclusive access granted.
sfcbd cannot be stopped, please try again.
I have to reboot the complete host to get the monitoring working again.
Any idea? Which log should I check?
Thanks
Robert
Could you check and post on here the /var/log/syslog.log
/var/log/hostd.log and /var/log/vmkernel.log might also be useful.
Thanks
Hello.
I have a similar problem with the asr-8405. Is there a solution?
Hi,
ASR71605E and ESXi 5.5
same Problem here, i have to restart CIM Server Service to get fresh data, but perfoming actions on Maxview is like Lottery.
Restarting the Server is also a Lottery, because in most cases ther are no disks after an reboot.
You have to do a complete Power Cycle to get the disks back (Raid and RAW as well).
Same shit on esxi 5 and 6.
Sometimes help 'services.sh restart' but sometimes process sfcbd-watchdog is locked and no possibility to do anything - only restart of esxi helps (like MS windows).
