Error description
If CMDB needs to be re-initialized and customer has changed default umask or root umask to 077 vpgadmin user will not be able to access CMDB directory to start it. This will cause that /var/adm/sulog will start to increase
Local fix
To workaround the issue, set root umask to 022 to re-initialize the DB, then it can be set again to 077 $ oem_setup_env # chuser umask=22 root # stopsrc -s vio_daemon # /usr/sbin/slibclean # rm -rf /home/ios/CM # startsrc -s vio_daemon -a '-d 4' # kill -1 vio_daemon's PID
Problem summary
If the /home/ios/CM dir is removed, and viosecure -high is applied (or otherwise root user has umask=077), then the CM DB will not be successfully recreated.
Problem conclusion
Force umask during creation of /home/ios/CM dir so that the CM DB functions can correctly recreate the DB.
