Availabillity manager on a two node cluster problem

Hi,

I have availabillity manager running on a two-node cluster with a common system disk, but only one node appears in my view window.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Piet

Re: Availabillity manager on a two node cluster problem

What do you have on each node in amds$system:amds*console*.dat and amds$system:amds*driver*.dat ?

On which network interface is started amds ?

$ ana/sys
sh lan
do you see amds on a network device on each node ?

Re: Availabillity manager on a two node cluster problem

On the node, device rma0 must exist or amds is not active (f$getd("rma0","exists").

Or it might be your settings :

Default files are in AMDS$SYSTEM. A node can be in 1 group only. The node is
setup in the logical AMDS$GROUP_NAME in the file AMDS$LOGICALS.COM. Default is
that all nodes are in 1 group.

The client security key is in AMDS$CONSOLE_ACCESS.DAT.
The server security key is in AMDS$DRIVER_ACCESS.DAT
A match must occur to give access.

It contains 3 fields : an address, a password and R|W.
E.g. 2.1\wimpass\W gives write access to node 2.1 giving password wimpass.
Wildcard addresses can be used.

Labadie & Wim,

All the configuration files for AMDS are in the common directories (I have checked this) so the settings are the same for both nodes.

Using $ ana/sys
show lan

On node-1:
EIA16 81CCC1C0 802E 08-00-2B-80-48 AMDS 0017 STRTN,LEN,UNIQ,STRTD

and on node-2:
EIA13 81CBD540 802E 08-00-2B-80-48 AMDS 0017 STRTN,LEN,UNIQ,STRTD

On both nodes the device rma0: exists.

Greetings,

Piet

Re: Availabillity manager on a two node cluster problem

both node have the eia card on same network ?

seen node with 2 network cards and amds started on the "bad" adapter.

Re: Availabillity manager on a two node cluster problem

On my nodes, amds sits on all cards.

Did you specify * in the access files ?

How is the hello interval set ? Maybe you have to wait 5 minutes.

Do you use the gui on one of the cluster nodes ?

Wim,

I have specified a * in the access files, I use the PC Availability manager program, and I am waiting for at over 3 hours now to see both nodes.

Re: Availabillity manager on a two node cluster problem

Oeps, I checked and they are on 1 card only.

On node2 :
ana/sys
show lan/dev=eia13

and check the counters. Is it working ?

Try restarting :
@sys$startup:amds$startup stop
@sys$startup:amds$startup

The eia device hasn't got the same number. Or the protocols are not started in the same way or something went wrong during startup (wild guess).

Re: Availabillity manager on a two node cluster problem

Wim,

I see a few differences:
On the "working" node:
Last receive 9-JUL 11:42:57
MCA match enabled 01

on the "not working" node:
Last receive None
MCA match enabled 00

The last receive None is as expected in this situation, but what about "MCA match enabled"?

A restart did not solve my problem.

Piet

If the node has multiple network interfaces : check with show lan if AMDS is on the same EI* card as the other protocols. Maybe it is on the wrong card (use counters to checks).
