Greenplum启动失败Error occurred: non-zero rc: 1的修复

某日开发反馈测试环境的集群启动失败

报错内容如下：

内容大概是说/etc/sysctl.conf设置的内核参数shmmax过小，导致启动失败

查看/etc/sysctl.conf下的配置发现：

kernel.shmmax = 20000000
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 40000000
kernel.sem = 250 512000 100 2048
kernel.sysrq = 1
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
kernel.msgmnb = 65536
kernel.msgmax = 65536
kernel.msgmni = 2048
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle = 1
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 4096
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1025 65535
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 10000
net.core.rmem_max = 2097152
net.core.wmem_max = 2097152
vm.overcommit_memory = 2

对比官网建议的设置和参数定义以及集群已有的数据量，发现确实过小。于是改成官网建议的设置后启动。

启动成功。

 

总结：pg启动相关的内核参数配置与实际情况不匹配时，会导致启动失败。可通过查看日志详细信息查找根源解决问题。
