Erlang R9C-2 NODE stops accepting new connections

[Valentin Micic [ MTN - Innovation Centre ]]

Hi,

 

We have a reoccurring problem on one of our nodes, call it node1@REDACTED

 

Under some circumstances (we suspect intermittent network instability),
the main listening port (the port that is published with EPMD) stops
accepting new connections.

The active connections are serviced though. 

 

I did verify that empd (using epmd -names) has an entry indicating node1
and port, say, P1.

Using netstat, I did verify that port P1 is used.

I've used pfiles (Solaris 9) to verify that this port is used by this
particular run-time (node1@REDACTED).

 

Finally, in desperation, I've attempted to telnet to this particular
port, and noticed that netstat reports SYN_SENT, but no further action
is taken.

This indicates a potential problem with SOLARIS, however, had a similar
situation on LINUX as well, thus, concluding that it might be ERLANG
related.

 

It seems that erlang process that is servicing this erlang port
(linked-in tcp driver) somehow lost a link to it, however without
terminating it, as indicated by messege:

 

#Port<0.7>: tcp_inet: Input driver gone away without deselecting!

 

Any ideas?

 

V.
