Problem ServiceGuard in a MSA500 Cluster Pack

Hi all.

I`m installing ServiceGuard over two DL380, with a MSA500 array disk. With a 4 SCSI-ports controller.
The OS is RedHat 4 AS U4 for 32 bits technology.
The ServiceGuard version is 11.6.02

I have a message wich appears in the startup time. Says something like:
- Process 'cmviewconf' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT
- Process 'cmclconfd' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT
- Process 'cmviewconfd' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT
- Process 'cmviewconf' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT
- Process 'cmrunmode' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT

When I turn on one of the servers, stops the startup of the OS in the 'cmrunmode' message. The startup still stoped till the second server displays the same message. In this moment both servers starts normally. So I can start only one server at a time.

Do yo know something about this?

Thanks a lot.

Shalom,

So the cluster is non-functional until both nodes get the message?

Have you conducted any failover tests? I'm wondering if the SG is doing you any good here.

My search turned up nothing, but if the messages are meaningful as a group I'd say there is a softwware problem. I'd look into patching and seeing if this install is clean.

Re: Problem ServiceGuard in a MSA500 Cluster Pack

The message is informational and is fixed in a later patch. You should use the latest patch version of the SGLX. Call support and they can help you get these latest bits.

I don't think that the hang is related to this message.

I am confused about your description. As I understand it, you boot one server, it hangs after those messages. Then you boot the other server, those messages are displayed and both servers start. If this is correct I cannot understand the statement "So I can start only one server at a time."

But the first thing to do is get the latest patch version.

Re: Problem ServiceGuard in a MSA500 Cluster Pack

OK You are right -> "I can`t start a single node" because the node stops in thise messages.

I`m looking for a patch in this site: http://haweb.cup.hp.com/Support/Linux/RecmdPatches.html

I usually apply SGLX_00113. But now I have two DL380 with 64bits processor. But we have installed RedHat4-AS u4 for 32bits technology. Because the customer ask for 32bits.

Any ide for the patch to apply? Because the SGLX_00111 or SGLX_00046 is for IA32.

SG works well, when the two nodes are up. The same text appears but, the cluster starts.


Thanks a lot.

The latest patches for RH4 32 bits that are available are SGLX_0111 and SGLX_00046. You'll need both.

Re: Problem ServiceGuard in a MSA500 Cluster Pack

Ok, thanks a lot, I think this will be the problem.

I found in the SAW some problem similar, and sais the same. Install the SGLX_00111 patch. But nothing about SGLX_0046 patch. ├В┬┐What is exactly the purpose for this patch?

The monday I`ll go to the customer, to install another SG. So I`ll tell you the results.

Thanks a lot.

Re: Problem ServiceGuard in a MSA500 Cluster Pack

There is a link between the version of the serviceguard rpm and the sgcmom RPM. The second patch is necessary for that reason.

Re: Problem ServiceGuard in a MSA500 Cluster Pack

Ok, and the order of application for the patches?? First the SGLX_00111 ?

Because, I see the RPM of the patches and I think the can overwrite some other files.

Tomorrow is the day of the installation...

Thanks

Re: Problem ServiceGuard in a MSA500 Cluster Pack

I believe the patch documentation has all information about order of install. If not, I believe 00046 goes first. 00046 covers cmom and 0111 covers serviceguard.

Re: Problem ServiceGuard in a MSA500 Cluster Pack

Ok, lots of thanks. Now everithing works well. I havn`t got this warnings and the cluster starts.

But now I have notice another problem:
When I have my two nodes down. I switch on one node and everithing starts well. The cluster waits for one minute because I put in the configuration file AUTO_START_TIMEOUT to one minute.
But after this, after the login screen. I do cmviewcl and I found the cluster in "unknown" state.
If I try to make a cmruncl, sais that the cluster is waiting for the other node to start.

There is another parameter to say to the cluster, not to wait to the other node?
If the cluster and both nodes are up and runing, and I switch off one node... everithing works OK... so I don`t know if ther is a locklun problem. I don`t thing so.

Thanks a lot another time.
