Solution 2120886.1 : ODA: Many oakcli.bin Core Dump Files of Format core.oakcli.bin.xxxxx Generated

Applies to:

Oracle Database Appliance X5-2 - Version All Versions to All Versions [Release All Releases]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

ODA's filesystem /opt/oracle/oak/bin is filling up with core files with format like following:

./core.oakcli.bin.94816
./core.oakcli.bin.5208
./core.oakcli.bin.20923
./core.oakcli.bin.15120
./core.oakcli.bin.92127
./core.oakcli.bin.71939
./core.oakcli.bin.47310

Running a debugger such as gdb on the core files show an oakcli.bin command that fails with segmentation fault:

For the core files need to use the binary to process the file.
Try using the oakd or oakcli

For example:

gdb /opt/oracle/oak/bin/oakd <core file>

gdb /opt/oracle/oak/bin/oakcli <core file>

gdb /opt/oracle/oak/bin/oakcli core.oakcli.bin.70488

Debugger output shows following:

[New Thread 64322]
[New Thread 64316]
Core was generated by '/opt/oracle/oak/bin/oakcli.bin show repo'. <<=== shows oakcli command failing
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

Cause

This is due to unpublished Bug 16660189 : LNX64-112-CMT: VM: OAKCLI CORE DUMP: IN CLIMAIN::GETARGS AT ./OAKCLIMAIN.HXX:63
There is internal issue processing arguments that cause the fault.

Solution

You can delete these core files.

The issue is fixed in 12.1.2.6.0.
