adopmnctl.sh: exiting with status 152

Workaround:

- Restarted the entire EBS R12.2 application services.

- Restarted the database as well.

- Restarted the Entire server.

- export TIMEDPROCESS_TIMEOUT=-1 and restarted the application services.

Cause:

root@test:~# telnet localhost 6115

Trying 10.x.x.x...

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Solution:

Checked the below values from the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and it should be hosts: files dns

hosts:  file dns

We found localhost entry was recently added in DNS server and its reflected into server level and its affected apache services which is using localhost internally to start up services.

so we have to update the nsswitch.conf file using below mentioned steps

connect as root user

# svccfg -s name-service/switch

svc:/system/name-service/switch> listprop config

config                     application

config/default             astring     files

config/host                astring     "file dns"

config/value_authorization astring     solaris.smf.value.name-service.switch

svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/host = "files dns"

svc:/system/name-service/switch> listprop config

config                     application

config/default             astring     files

config/host                astring     "files dns"

config/value_authorization astring     solaris.smf.value.name-service.switch

svc:/system/name-service/switch>

# svcadm refresh name-service/switch

# svcadm restart name-service/switch

Then telnet connection worked properly and Apache services started successfully.
