Metrocluster not seeing the EVAs through SMI-S CIMOM

[Marcos LLama]

Hi all,

I have a Metrocluster environment with 2 sites and 4 SMI-S (2 on each site). On one of the sites, the primary SMI-S started failing to the Metrocluster package requests:

########### Node "esappo01": Starting package at Thu Nov 29 20:12:32 EDT
2007 ###########
LVM_CMD is vgchange -a e
LVM_VG vgPP1_06

m the SMI-S 10.100.100.30;
No EVA Storage System found in the SMI-S10.100.1
00.30.
Check the SMI-S and fix the problem.


Using wbemdisco (bundled with HPSIM), I checked that all SMI-S in the platform (except the "faulty" one, 10.100.100.30) can see all EVAs. The strange thing here is that if I log onto Command View on 10.100.100.30 I can see all EVAs, but I cannot see them with wbemdisco.

This was working fine until last week, and I have no idea on what might have changed

Versions:

HP-UX 11.23
ServiceGuard 11.17
esappo01# swlist|grep -i metrocluster
MCDREnabler A.05.00 Metrocluster Data Replication Enabler Toolkit
T2403BA A.01.00 MetroCluster with Continuous Access EVA Toolkit
HP StorageWorks Command View EVA 6.0.2.37
HP StorageWorks Command View EVA Software Suite 6.0.2.18
HP StorageWorks CV EVA Performance Monitor 6.0.2.13
HP StorageWorks SMI-S CIMOM 2.5.1.32
HP StorageWorks SMI-S EVA 6.0.2.7

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Marcos LLama

Hi, the customer just sent me additional information. If you run "cimprovider -l" on other SMI-S, the list of modules is displayed. On 10.100.100.30, the output is:

C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\pegasus_home\bin>cimprovider -l


Specified provider module was not registered

Thanks and regards,
Marcos
