See "Web-Based Admin View Operation Guide" and follow the troubleshooting procedures.


(2) GDS Management View cannot be started.

Resolution

  1. When GDS is not installed.

    Install GDS.

  2. When GDS is installed.

    Check for the following possible causes:

    • Wrong URL specified.

    • Wrong method caused due to specifying host name.

    • Environment cannot use Swing.

    • Different browser type and level than recommended.


(3) Disk device information is not displayed correctly in GDS Management View.

Explanation

GDS does not recognize disks properly. Possible causes are as follows.

Resolution

Perform the following steps 1. through 2.

  1. Use the format(1M) command and check whether the OS recognizes the disk unit. If it does not recognize, identify the cause based on log messages of disk drivers stored in the /var/adm/messages file and such.

  2. Execute [Update Physical Disk Information] in the [Operation] menu.

(4) Insufficient memory error is displayed at Java console in the environment with a number of SDX objects.

Explanation

The memory of Java VM may become insufficient when using the GDS management view in the environment with a number of SDX objects.

When applying the above-mentioned cases, change the size of the memory allocation pool of Java VM.

Resolution

Estimate the size to be added according to the following description and change the setting of Java VM.

Management Server

Add 2 MB per 1000 of the value of "(the number of disks + the number of volumes) x the number of scope nodes."

Client

Add 5 MB per 1000 of the value of "(the number of disks + the number of volumes) x the number of scope nodes."

The value less than 1000 is rounded up.

Example

When registering 500 disks and creating 400 volumes to the shared disk of two nodes

The estimates of the size to be added are as follows.

(500 + 400) x 2 = 1800

The size is 2000, since the value less than 1000 is rounded up.

  • For the management server

    For the management server, 2 MB is added per 1000. Based on the calculation formula 2000 / 1000 x 2, add 4 MB.

  • For clients

    For clients, 5 MB is added per 1000. Based on the calculating formula 2000 / 1000 x 5, add 10 MB.

Based on the above-mentioned estimates, change the setting of Java VM.

How to change management server (Web-Based Admin View)
  1. Display the shell prompt with the root administration.

  2. Check the current setting value with the wvGetparam command.

    # /etc/opt/FJSVwvbs/etc/bin/wvGetparam s-java-option
    sys:s-java-option       -mx128m
  3. Add the calculated value (4 MB) to the confirmed result and set it with the wvSetparam command.

    # /etc/opt/FJSVwvbs/etc/bin/wvSetparam s-java-option -mx132m
    sys:s-java-option       -mx132m
  4. Check that no client is connected and restart the management server.

    # /etc/opt/FJSVwvbs/etc/bin/wvCntl restart
How to change clients (Windows)
  1. Select [Java] from [Control Panel] of the [Start] menu and click it to display [Java Control Panel].

  2. Select the [Java] tab from [Java Control Panel] and click the <View> button to display the [Java Runtime Environment Settings] screen.

  3. Select the value of [Runtime Parameters] and add it to the calculated value (10 MB), and then set the total value.

    If the default value is -Xmx80m, set -Xmx90m.

    If the default value is not set, assuming that the default value is -Xmx64m, add the calculated value.

  4. Click the <OK> button of the [Java Runtime Environment Settings] screen.

  5. Click the <OK> button of [Java Control Panel].

    The setting works from the session which uses browsers started after performing the above-mentioned procedures.
