This slows down the work as it generates many RPC retries.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users of ClearCase dynamic views on Solaris 11. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * ClearCase users on Oracle Solaris systems sporadically * * experience extremely slow performance of actions in a * * particular dynamic view, accompanied by a series of error * * messages of the form: "View server for <view storage path> * * not responding still trying (st=5 err=145)". * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Sporadic slow performance of a dynamic view on Oracle Solaris occurs when there is a conflict between kernel services using the same UDP port for RPCs. The port assignment is managed by the Solaris kernel, but ClearCase has implemented a workaround for this problem in versions 8.0.1.21 and 9.0.1.7.
