MAJ “Watchd’s high-monitor thread is stopping tickling of hw” — Event ID #23’s
call to reboot the server was unsuccessfully invoked. (A Linux kernel’s
semaphore is possibly stuck.) After this happens, Watchd stops tickling
the HW sanity timer so that the HW sanity watchdog executes a hard
reboot of the processor.
1. To verify that the alarm occurred, look for messages about:
Stopping the tickling of the HW sanity timer
CPU occupancy profiling
using either the:
- Web interface, by selecting Diagnostics > View System Logs
and Watchdog Logs
- Linux command line, by entering logv -w or, directly, by
examining /var/log/ecs/wdlog.
- If the HW sanity watchdog successfully executed a hard reboot,
the alarm was cleared. (This reboot normally fixes problems due
to unresponsive software.)
If not, power cycle the server to release it from this condition and to
clear the alarm.
2. Watch to see if the alarm recurs. If so, escalate the problem.
