Not able to start a package in a node in cluster

[melvyn burnard]

you have a subnet down?
And you did not notice that?
well you need to go onto that node and see why the subnet is down.
Maybe a failed card/port/cable
You will ned to fix that.

[Mr Zer0]

Also whenever a cluster/package is being started/stopped it will be logged in the syslog.log check that too, it might help.

Node_Switching_Parameters:
NODE_TYPE STATUS SWITCHING NAME
Primary up enabled ap3g-ch2-nms01
Alternate up enabled ap3g-ch2-nms02

This displays that your package switching is enabled and the node is capable of running the package..

Running cmmodpkg -e nodenames and then trying cmrunpkg would be the best options which you have tried already..

Now need to analyze the logs from the package control file..

Thanks for the comments...
I rebooted the node and then brought the node to the cluster.

This helped the package moving also.The logs didn say any error that became more difficult as it said only some net interface change.

I config the MC-SG 11.19 on HPUX 11.31.there are 2 pkg in the cluster.But,When i try to run pkg1 in a node it says:Unable to run the Package.The node is not eligible. same to the "Shahrukh Ahamed ".
HOW can I make it right?

I had the same error and checked everything:
- package conf
- package cntl
- cluster ascii conf

It was as simple as stupid, the vg was still activated (to test it) on one of the cluster nodes and could not be activated in exclusive mode by the new cluster node.

A simple
vgchange -a n vgXX

solved the problem, the package could start.

Check the /var/adm/syslog/syslog file for information like:
Dec 4 16:18:07 NODE cmcld[8438]: Executing '/etc/cmcluster/PACKAGE/PACKAGE.cntl start' for package PACKAGE, as service PKG*85254.
Dec 4 16:18:07 NODE cmserviced[8442]: Request to perform run service PKG*85254
Dec 4 16:18:07 NODE LVM[16258]: vgchange -a n vgXX
Dec 4 16:18:07 NODE cmserviced[8442]: Service PKG*85254 terminated due to an exit(1).
Dec 4 16:18:07 NODE cmcld[8438]: Package PACKAGE run script exited with NO_RESTART.
Dec 4 16:18:07 NODE cmcld[8438]: Examine the file /etc/cmcluster/PACKAGE/PACKAGE.cntl.log for more details.

Maybe this could help.

Hi

you can first see by enabling the package to run on the desired node.

cmmodpkg -v -n
wehn done
run the package

cmrunpkg -v -n

try to capture the syslog and also the package control file

that is

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
and

/etc/cmcluster//.cntl.log
and psot both the O/ps

regards
sujit

Hi there,

I just had the same problem. What I (and probably you too) need to do is cmmodpkg -e -n nodename pkgname. This website saved me.

cmmodpkg -e did not help:

hydrogen[root]:/root:>cmmodpkg -e pm30pkg2
Package pm30pkg2 is already enabled
cmmodpkg: Completed successfully on all packages specified

but this one did:

hydrogen[root]:/root:>cmmodpkg -v -e -n hydrogen pm30pkg2
Enabling node hydrogen for switching of package pm30pkg2
Successfully enabled package pm30pkg2 to run on node hydrogen
cmmodpkg: Completed successfully on all packages specified

 what's funny is that it's a one-node cluster.

hope this helps someone in the future!

Have you fixed your subnet problems...?? If not disable the SUBNET monitoring and start the package..
