There are two possibilities that spring to mind; your installation is short of memory - what is the combined amount of RAM and swap space on your system? - or you installed heartbeat with a configuration which gave it access to less memory than it needs to do the job you want it to do. If there is a heartbeat configuration file or log, look at that to see if you can find any clues.

ayel_86 · September 29, 2011, 9:37am

Hi. It has a heartbeat. So, what kind of information or clues that need to look in the heartbeat configuration file or log?

And how much memory and swap do you have? Show “top | head”.

And maybe you might like to tell us what distro you are running: SLES, openSUSE, etc and what version. Our crystal balls are not that fantastic.

The year 2003 that Red Carpet Daemon prints out suggests you are running very old software. I haven’t heard anything about Ximian and Red Carpet for years. Maybe it just doesn’t work any more with newer distros.

Hi Robin. Below is the memory and swap of this server:

There doesn’t seem to be a memory problem there. At least, not now. As to
the heartbeat, that’s unknown territory for me.

Hi. As for the heartbeat, this server is using cluster software. An as the server is running, the heartbeat for this is in good
condition.
What about on this information in the log files:

Aug 30 05:00:30 pgw2 rcd[13273]: id=1 COMPLETE ‘Downloading https://update.novell.com/data/serviceinfo.xml’ time=7s (failed)
Aug 30 05:00:30 pgw2 rcd[13273]: Unable to download service info: IO error - Soup error: Cannot resolve hostname (2)
Aug 30 05:00:30 pgw2 rcd[13273]: Unable to load service for default host URL ‘https://update.novell.com/data’: Unable to download service info: IO error - Soup error: Cannot resolve hostname (2)

Why it is unable to download?

gogalthorp · October 4, 2011, 6:30am

This appears to be SLES not OpenSUSE. If you are trying to run SLES software on OpenSUSE machines it probably won’t work since OpenSUSE does not know how to talk to Novell services. You need to ask on the SLES board.

Besides being SLES, and this not being an SLES forum, it says that it can
not resolve the host name. I saw on a previous log that some services were
killed (heartbit or what? Dunno.) If something related to dns was killed,
that would be a reason.

If your machine is SLES, you must ask in the SLES forums, not here.
