I have an HP BL45p Blade running Red Hat EL4AS, Update 2. It is running Oracle 10.2.0.2 and PSP 7.4 or 7.52 is installed, I can't identify version, explained below. Recently I upgraded the ram from 8GB to 16GB. I received an SNMP error yesterday, reporting the loss of connectivity. The server is still up and running, and thankfully Oracle is ok. The problems are:
1) the console, and virtual terminals are hung, with a cmahostd output.
2) I can attempt to login, but it never completes the login
3) ssh - I can connect, however it hangs after password entry.
This is a production oracle server, and I needto kill the cmahostd process, to regain control. However I cannot get a connection. The system almost acts like the / filesystem is full, however I seriously doubt it is. Oracle resides on SAN (200GB disk space less that 50% capacity)and the / filesystem is 130GB as a typical OS install, so 124 GB of freee space.
I need to gain connectivity, optimally, without a reboot, as it is a production server with VERY high visibility. I have a maintenace window on Sundays, so I can send a <ctrl>+<alt>+<del> and my init.d script should, if the system is stable enough) cleanly shutdown the oracle instances, and reboot. I can then diagnose.
Here is the only link I can find on the situation, and it matches my situation
