Posted: Oct 20, 2010 08:46:18 AM Hi,

in an interval of 10 minutes I get the following messages in the albd_log file:

2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29255): Ok: Reading license database file /var/adm/rational/clearcase/license.db at 10/20/10 14:20:31
2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29255): Ok: rgy_flush_interval set to 90
2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29255): Ok: Registry server type is "master".
2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29255): Ok: Initializing Job Scheduler Service.
2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29255): Ok: Job Scheduler Service loaded.
2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29256): Ok: Server up and running
2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29256): Error: bind: Address already in use
2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29256): Error: Unable to setup "udp" RPC service.
2010-10-20T14:20:31+02:00 albd_server(29256): Ok: Exiting, status = 0

the process id is always a new one and it is different to the correct albd_process ID.
so it seems, that "something" tries to launch another albd_server process ??? - and of course this fails, because UDP port 371 is already in use.

any ideas ?

Cheers,
Uwe

Posted: Oct 25, 2010 10:52:19 AM   in response to: Uwe Satthoff's post This sounds like a defect that got fixed in 7.0.1.9 and 7.1.1.2, try one of those out if you're not up to those levels yet.

Posted: Oct 25, 2010 04:49:53 PM   in response to: Uwe Satthoff's post I had something "similar" like that. I couldn't mount a VOB saying it's already mounted somewhere. It maybe due to somebody mounted the VOB backup somewhere.

Thanks

Posted: Nov 08, 2010 10:18:55 AM   in response to: Uwe Satthoff's post FYI :

I found the reason which caused a second albd process to be launched every 10 minutes.

There was a process running in the background executing /etc/rc2.d/S77clearcase start -repeat And it tried to start ClearCase every 10 minutes on the server.
After deleting the file /tmp/Clearcase.retrying the background process terminated.

The background process was started from a reboot, which was interrupted and started again - and this left the background process.

Cheers,
Uwe
