GIPCD Errors

Overiew

• GIPCD deamon is testing its network/local interface every 5 seconds
• GIPCD needs the local socket files in /var/tmp/.oracle for connecting to local CRS processes

Troubleshooting

• Check OS messages files for any errors which may be related ( AVAHI deamon running, ifdown/ifup messages …)
  
• Check cron for any running/starting scritps during that time
• Check immediate the files in /var/tmp/.oracle before a cluster reboot renews these files
  
• Run OSWatcher to check any network issues with the cluster interconnect

Deleting local socket descriptors in /var/tmp/.oracle – Error failed to retrieve GPnP profile

Errors: CLSGPNP_COMM_ERR, CLSGPNP_NO_DAEMON, CRS-2302, CRS-1013

Create failing scenario <-- Don't do that on a production cluster your CRS stack get down immediate
