Availabillity manager on a two node cluster problem

[Keith Parris · Accepted solution]

Availability Manager uses a multicast protocol on the LAN. This is not an IP protocol and must be bridged, not routed. Could it be that the multicasts coming from the 2nd node aren't getting to the PC running Availability Manager through the LAN?

Keith,

Your answer is problably the correct one.
We use in our OpenVMS servers two netwerk devices, each on its on own sub-net.
When I trace AMDS using $ ana/sys, show lan
I see that the node I cannot reach with availabillity manager on my PC uses the netwerk interface on the other sub-net, separated by a router.

Is there a way to force AMDS to use a specific netwerk interface?

Greetings,

Piet,

In sys$startup:amds$def_device.com you can modify the line defining the amds$device.

$ def/sys/exec amds$device "EIA0".
