Start the gateway fail with errors in
/opt/SecureSpan/Controller/var/logs/sspc_X_0.log
default starting
default exited with status 33
default already running ; will attempt to take control of it
Usually this error indicates some one else already starts the gateway.
But in this case, the ps command shows that there is no running gateway process on the machine.
Before the Controller start the gateway process, it will check if the gateway process is running base on the gateway pid file,
/opt/SecureSpan/Gateway/node/default/var/ssg.pid
The gateway pid file will not be removed when stop the gateway, therefore, before the next time of launching the gateway, the OS has chance to allocate the same pid to another process.
Although the chance is low, but when it occurs, the gateway cannot start upit will be fixed in gateway 10.
A work around can be, manually remove the gateway pid file,
/opt/SecureSpan/Gateway/node/default/var/ssg.pid
