[Orca-users] Orcallator process dies

[David Michaels]

I have a somewhat similar configuration, but orca runs just fine.

I have a 3-shelf 3510 array attached to a pair of V440 servers.  Orca is 
running on both of them.  I'm not encountering any problems with my 
graphs, although I've done some funky stuff in my orcallator.cfg file.  
I've attached that cfg file.  My se file is version 1.37, I'm using Orca 
0.27 (I think), and the servers are running Solaris 8 using SE 3.3.1 and 
Veritas 4.  The number-crunching orca process is running on a Solaris 9 
v210 box using NFS to access the data files and write the HTML.

It could be a perl issue -- there are two versions of Perl that could 
potentially be in your path.  I found that I had to add  
/usr/perl5/5.00503/bin
 to the head of the path in certain circumstances, but that was only 
during the install of the man pages for some perl modules, I thought.
