[GemStone-Smalltalk] Gemstone/s not starting on Solaris 10

[James Foster]

What we have here is the stone started the SPC monitor and the monitor appears to have started successfully but the stone is unable to communicate with the SPC monitor. 

I’m not sure why the NetLdi is mentioned. That makes me wonder if the stone thinks that the SPC is on another host. How many network cards are on this machine? How many IP addresses are assigned to the machine? Is it possible that ‘mstst231’ resolves to something other than ‘123.166.88.141’ (or vice-versa)?

Did things ever work on this machine? If so, when did the problem start? Was there some change in the configuration about that time?

Is the problem repeatable? Can you run ‘gslist -x’ from another shell during the 30 seconds that the stone is waiting for the SPC monitor to start? Possibly the SPC monitor is actually hung and can’t respond. Is there anything produced in the SPC monitor log from ‘kill -SIGUSR1’? If not, do you have ‘pstack’ on the machine and do you know how to use it to get a peek what the SPC monitor is doing?
