zxfrd currently has a bigstart dependency on named as it is common to use named as the Primary DNS server.
zxfrd will fail as zxfrd will be waiting for named (which is down) to release a running semaphore.
This occurs when running bigstart restart.
1. Stop and Disable 'named' and 'zrd' if local BIND will not be used. bigstart stop named zrd bigstart disable zrd bigstart disable named 2. Using an editor, modify the file /etc/bigstart/scripts/zxfrd Modify the following from # wait for processes we are dependent on depend ${service} named running 3 ${start_cnt} to # wait for processes we are dependent on # depend ${service} named running 3 ${start_cnt} and save the file Note: Put a comment character "#" in front of the second line. 3. Restart zxfrd bigstart restart zxfrd
A new DB variable is introduced: zxfrd.dependency.named. By default, the value is true. It means zxfrd depends on named. Modify the value to be false will remove the dependency.
