Genesys - Server with this name is already running

Product: Genesys CTI Suite
Module: Genesys CPD 8.0.001.02

There are various ways that CPD server may lost connection to Genesys config server. While many sites covering normal scenarios, such as config server down, database connectivity issue which cause config server failed to start, CPU bottleneck in CPD or config server, RAM bottleneck in CPD or config server, CPD 32-bit version hits 2 GB/process max, network instability, etc. This post is covering an unknown scenario.

For unknown reason, when a CPD server lost connection with config server, the config server should unregister the daemon so that it can start up again, or auto re-connect (if using ADDP protocol).

If some unknown reason again, config server did not unregister it, then CPD server will not allow to start up.

Following config server log clearly shown that it though CPD server already running, and not allow the CPD which lost connectivity to it to reconnect agian

Following CPD log showing it is trying to reconnect every 10 sec, and it is giving false alarm that config server not found, instead of process already started error found in config server log

Anyway, bouncing of CPD server will resolve this connectivity issue.

It looks like a bug between CPD and config server
