Error description
A delay and mvfs_log errors occur when dynamic views are first registered within MVFS on execution of cleartool commands, on HP-UX 11.31 ClearCase 7.1.1.x and 7.1.2.x To Reproduce: The following cleartool commands will produce a ~6 second delay and will generate errors within the mvfs_log when a view is either created, started on the host for the first time or when the view is set to the host for the first time. The problem is only seen when the dynamic view has to initially register itself within the MVFS, and the issue will not cause the cleartool command to fail. This will only produce a delay as experienced by the user from the command line and from the errors as seen within the mvfs_log. cleartool mkview ?args? (Both local and NAS stored Views) cleartool startview ?tag? cleartool setview ?tag? The errors that are produced within the mvfs_log: ?time? mvfs: Error: mvfs_clntkudp_create: error 22 ?time? mvfs: Error: mvfs_clntkudp_create: error 22 ?time? mvfs: Error: cannot allocate RPC client handle, giving up (err 22) Tracing the subsystems of a cleartool startview, the delay is seen here: ??? 22:36:18.483 (cleartool): mvfs_view_root_open called ??? 22:36:18.485 (cleartool): mvfs_mcb_cmd called; cmd=MKVIEWTAG (7), pname=(null) ??? 22:36:23.422 (cleartool): mvfs_view_root_close called ??? 22:36:23.423 (cleartool): mvfs_view_root_open called ??? 22:36:23.424 (cleartool): mvfs_mcb_cmd called; cmd=MKVIEWTAG (7), pname=(null) ??? 22:36:23.426 (cleartool): mvfs_view_root_close called Workaround: None
