Using the paadm tool to restart the IPA timer

Several IPA background threads are controlled by an IPA timer.

In the event the timer thread or the background threads experience an issue, the IPA timer and background threads can be reset.

  1. Access the paadm tool.
  2. On the command line, run this command:

    paadm timer reset [--force] --jvm <jvm-id>

    This table shows the variables to be used and their descriptions:

    Variable Description
    --force If the --force flag is specified, the LPA JVM will cancel the existing timer and background threads, if they are running, and create a new timer and background threads.

    If the --force flag is not specified, the value is false.

    Generally, the use of the --force flag should not be necessary.
    <jvm-id> To determine the value for <jvm-id>, run managegrid list and take note of the value of the JVM for the desired LPA Grid node. The value is in this format:

    <ip-address>:<port-number>-<process-id>

    You can also use the Grid Management UI to determine the value for <jvm-id>.
