Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
The pending list is never depleted throughout the day. Smarts DMAC is set for running the pending list every hour.
We can remove a device from the list, but right clicking on it, and starting a discovery- doesn't work. The command line "sm_tpmgr -s --discover-pending" also does not start discovery of pending list, confirmed via tailing the log.
Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS
Resolution
The Default parameters were being used in /etc/security/limits.conf. Once maximum file descriptor limits were increased for smarts user and restarted domains the issue was resolved.
To up the user-based limits in Linux the following lines were added/changed in /etc/security/limits.conf:
smarts hard nofile 65534 smarts soft nofile 65534 smarts hard nproc 65534 smarts soft nproc 65534
