INIT: no more processes left in this runlevelRedhat 5 and 6 have begun to hang on shutdown/reboot
Some QAS libraries are owned by "init" causing the /opt file system not to unmount cleanly during a reboot.The issue occurs when the following conditions are met:
1. Redhat 6 Linux.
2. /opt is on a separate file system
3. vas3 is behind files in the nsswitch.conf file -
Cause
The dbus shlib used by the RHEL6 init makes reference to the getpw*() calls that will result in nsswitch.conf shlibs being referenced. The referenced QAS libraries are not unloaded properly before unmounting /opt during reboot.
-
Resolution
WORKAROUND:
1. Do not create separate logic volume for /opt
2. Create a symbolic link for /opt/quest to install QAS client to /quest”
[root@redhat6 ~]# mkdir /quest
[root@redhat6 ~]# ln -s /quest /opt/quest
[root@redhat6 ~]# ./install.sh vasclnt
...
[root@redhat6 ~]# lsof | grep init | grep quest
