Error message: cmcld: Lookup-node-by-name failed.

Sajid,
I didn't quite understand what you meant by /.rhosts. My root home account is under /home/root.
I have verified my .rhosts file to have the proper enteries. I have also verified the cmclnodelist. Does anyone know where the cmcld daemon is looking for the node name? I thought it is defined in the cmclnodelist file.

Robert,

Make sure you ONLY use the shortname for the NODE_NAME in the cluster configuration file.
Using the FQDN name in that file can cause the problem you're seeing.

See the following thread:

Also you may want to verify that there are no unprintable chars in the config file, cmclnodelist or .rhosts files - including spaces. vi those files & double-check for leading white-space in the .rhosts & cmclnodelist files & for trailing white-space in the config file.
