RWSocket::send: Broken pipe Error in /var/adm/messages

UNIX Solaris

Hi Guys,

I am getting some strange error in /var/adm/messages in my Solaris 10 box with Veritas Cluster and EMC storage.

bash-3.00$ cat /var/adm/messages | egrep -v "lw8|snmp|sshd|xntpd|kern.info|LOGIN|link|service|started|finished|repeated|SS7 Log-daemon|success" 
Dec 18 09:58:35 GAMMa2 EV_AGENT[2616]: [ID 849692 daemon.error] EV_Agent::Process -- Outstream data xfer error. Err: RWSockErr: in RWSocket::send: Broken pipe

bash-3.00$

I only found something on google which says:

  \+ If a request by the	client \(i.e. cli/gui\) times out. 	    The	following error	message	will be	logged in 	    /var/adm/SYSLOG:  	      EV_Agent::Process	-- Outstream data xfer error. Err: RWSockErr: 	      in RWSocket::send: Broken	pipe

It is not uncommon for the downstream app to abort and close the pipe, and good error reporting will log the upstream app's error. It might just be noise.
