not working Advanced Server Pathwork after openVMS autogen and reboot

[CJBe]

Hi!

After a autogen with reboot on a three node cluster the Advanced Server (PathWork) is unable to startup on one of the cluster nodes.

In PWRK$LMMCP_NODENAME.LOG i found:

LISTER\listeninit: Unable to post the name on any networl: NODENAME

PCS_SetConnectionLevel: group name has not been declared

and after that

SYSTEM job terminated at ...

Is there a problem with the network or where can I look up next? Please help me, I am a "fresh" openVMS Admin.

Thanks!

Hi,

It is likely that the pwrk$knbdaemon process is not starting up correctly. You may want to check if there are any errors in the log file PWRK$ROOT:[LOGS]PWRK$KNBDAEMON_.log;*

Thanks!

In PWRK$KNBDAEMON_NODENAME.LOG I found:

get_ip_addr: gethostname error: 0

I looked in TCPIP show host, there is a entry

IP-Adress Nodename

I can do ping, telnet usw. looks like network is on...

Hi,

I am assuming that you are using TCPIP services provided HP. If so, can you execute the following command and see if the inet logicals are defined correctly?

$ sh log *inet*

Thanks!

I used your command to look up the logicals on both nodes from the cluster.

On the one where Advanced Server still working I found these logicals in LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE

"TCPIP$INET_DOMAIN" = "..."
"TCPIP$INET_HOST" = "..."
"TCPIP$INET_HOSTADDR" = "..."
"UCXIP$INET_DOMAIN" = "..."
"UCXIP$INET_HOST" = "..."
"UCXIP$INET_HOSTADDR" = "..."

On the node where Advanced Server isn't working the logicals are missing.

So please can You tell me, where and when these logicals are set up. Thanks a lot!!!

hi,

usually these would be defined after you have configured your tcpip setup with tcpip$config.com and started tcpip services.

fwiw

Hi,

Looks like TCPIP is not configured correctly. As mentioned by Mark Hunt, you can use tcpip$config to reconfigure TCPIP.

I defined the logicals on the node where Advanced Server isn't running by hand. But it is still the same Problem and the same entrys in the logfiles...

Okay, so realy a problem with TCP/IP?

But when I say TCPIP show service I get Information. Also I can ping the node and connect to this via Telnet. Also TCPIP show interface gets the correct interface configuration...

hi,

can't remember if there can be case sensitivity issues with the host name with this, have you an upper and lower case nodename (alias) in the host table to tie in with the logicals ?

[CJBe]

The entrys in the host table all are like this:

IP NODENAME, nodename

and the logicals are once defined:

TCPIP$.... = "nodename"
UCX$... = "NODENAME"


I looked up the Processes running on both nodes an found an missing entry on the node where advanced server isn't running.

The missing process is TCPIP$PWIP_ACP, I looked up with TCPIP$CONFIG.COM and tried to stop and start but still missing... Is it possible this is the problem?
