I ran those commands just now, and I don't see any large number of incoming connections. The output of netstat -n is about 980 lines, and doesn't seem to fluctuate much during normal usage. I'll see if that is still the case when this problem I'm having is actually happening. The problem seems limited to just Ingres, though -- I have no trouble connecting to the database server using ssh, sftp, etc. even while this problem is happening so if it was a connection flood of some kind it would have to be hitting only Ingres itself.<br /><br />Michel<br /><br /><hr /><strong>From: </strong><span title="paul.white@shift7solutions.com.au">"Paul White" <paul.white@shift7s!

<p> </p>
<p>Hi,<br /> <br /> I was referred to this mailing-list in hopes of finding a solution for a problem that has been vexing me.<br /> <br /> I have an Ingres 9.0.4 (community edition, 64-bit) installation that is experiencing a strange "freeze". The symptom observed by the users is that existing connections to the DBMS are just fine, but no new connections to the DBMS can be established (either from elsewhere on the network through Ingres/NET, or even locally).<br /> <br /> After some trial-and-error, and some diagnostic help from Actian, we've determined that the problem isn't actually the DBMS itself. If we kill -9 the iigcn process, then do instart -iigcn then all returns to normal. The funny thing is that there is no information in the errlog.log file that indicates a problem at all. <br /> <br /> Using this approach, we've been able to avoid downtime (to keep the users happy) but we aren't really closer to a solut! ion. I!
-could- write a script that runs once a minute, checks if it can establish a connection to the DBMS, then stops/starts the iigcn process if it can't but I'm hoping to reach an actual solution to the problem so that such a thing isn't necessary.<br /> <br /> The operating system that Ingres is installed on (which is running as a virtual machine in the Azure cloud) is:<br /> <br /> CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)<br /> <br /> The configuration of the nameserver is currently the default configuration, except that session_limit is set to 64 instead of 16. While this virtual machine running in the Azure cloud is new, the configuration of Ingres was migrated from an older system. I believe this problem happened once or twice over a two year period on the old system, but it was never happening every day like this is. I can't see session_limit being a problem, but just the same I've reverted it back to 16. My nameserver configuration is below:</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; " data-style-orig="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br /> I don't know enough about TCP/IP networking to say for sure, but this looks like an awful lot of connections on the iigcn port (which should really just be accepting connections, doing its thing, then dropping them). Also, those connectiosn with a state of SYN_RECV seem like a problem. I'm not entirely sure how to read this output -- it seems to be saying that there are ~65 active connections going on, with 13 more waiting in the wrings. I could be entirely wrong about that, though. I'm no networking guru.<br /> <br /> By way of example, when the system ISN'T having this problem the output looks more like this (at which time the gcn port is 37550):</p>

Anything I could try in order to diagnose this further. As I said above, I can write a program that will test the connection and recover in the event of a failure, but I'd really prefer to simply have a working system and not have to worry about that. :)<br /> </p>
