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
