Symptoms

VLE services do not start by script: start_vle_services except VLE Mount Service.

# start_vle_services

Starting MySql and VLE Mount Services only: since the BMI flag is TRUE(1).

Changes

 Upgrade the VLE microcode

Cause

The BMI flag is TRUE according to the message just after running start_vle_services.
According to the message, the script does not start VLE services except THE VLE mount and MySql services when the BMI is TRUE.
You can see the latest the value of BMI.

2017-03-24 01:28:39 INFO BMI is TRUE

Solution

To verify if the BMI is true, run the following command.

$ grep BMI /var/log/vle/install.log | tail -1

Next verify why the BMI flag is TRUE.

The next is possible reason of TRUE:

1) Package: SUNWvle is not installed completely

Check for package: SUNWvle completely installed:

$ pkginfo -l SUNWvle
PKGINST: SUNWvle
NAME: Sun Virtual Library Extension Software
: : :
STATUS: completely installed
: : :
$

If the status is not 'completely installed', install the microcode upgrade again.

2) script: vle_env does not exist

$ ls -l /opt/SUNWvle/scripts/vle_env
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 3008 Nov 13 21:45 /opt/SUNWvle/scripts/vle_env
$

If the file does not exist, install the microcode upgrade again.

3) The name of the VLE Grid is the default value as "VLE-NAME"

Check the current environment variable of VLE_NAME:

$ grep VLE_NAME /opt/SUNWvle/scripts/vle_env | grep -v SOFTWARE_NODE_NAME

# export the VLE_NAME
export VLE_NAME=VLE-NAME

$

If the variable is VLE-NAME, you have not configured it by script: configure_vle before upgrading the VLE microcode.
Then configure the VLE System Name by the script.
