DISABLING_MEMBER

Advisory

Subject Name Syntax

_RV.ERROR.RVFT.DISABLING_MEMBER.group

Purpose

Rendezvous fault tolerance software sometimes detects problems that make a fault tolerance member unable to function. It automatically deactivates the affected member, disables it (by setting its weight to zero), and generates this error advisory message.

Remarks

Only the disabled member presents this advisory.

The RVADV_DESC field always contains NULL.

This advisory indicates that Rendezvous fault tolerance software cannot allocate memory, publish a message or set a timer. In most cases, the primary cause is insufficient memory.

In some cases, memory is so scarce that the disabled member is unable to process the advisory message, nor even relay the advisory message to stderr.

For a complete discussion, see Disabling a Member.

Remedy

The most reliable remedy is to arrange for the process to exit gracefully, and then restart the member. In the meantime, the disabled process is replaced by another member (presuming that other members are running). Be certain to investigate and correct the cause of the resource problem.
