can't see the second node

[Cristi BODNARIUC]

Hi,

I am trying to build up a 2-nodes (node1 and node2) cluster with MC/SerrviceGuard.

Both nodes are HPUX 11.0 and the same version of SG (A.11.14).

I installed SG, configured the common volume group on an external SCSI, but when I try to create a cluster configuration with SAM I can see only node1 in the nodes available (even if I try to configure a cluster from node2 I get only node1 available).

if I try cmquerycl without parameters I get:
Cluster Name Node Name
UNUSED
node1

And if I try:
cmquerycl -v -C /etc/cmcluster/lpcluster.config -n node2

Begin checking the nodes...
Looking for other clusters ... Done
Error: Unable to establish communication to node node2
Failed to gather configuration information.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks a lot,
Cristi

Cristi,

Have you created .rhosts file on both the nodes?

Also, look into /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for more info on the problem in addition to cluster log.

Hi,
usually this is a permission problem.

Check the correctness of .rhosts for root on both node, assure that nodes will be equivalent, and finally check /etc/cmclsuter/cmclnodelist

HTH,

Hi Christi:

If you haven't, make sure that either a correct '.rhosts' or '/etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist' file is configured.

Hi,

I have configured the /etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist file and /.rhosts file(even if I thought it is not really necessary)

they look like this:

node1.domain.com root #HPUXNLCluster
node2.domain.com root #HPUXNLCluster

both nodes are resolved well by the DNS

Thanks

Hi,

From node1, can you successfully execute a command on node2 using 'remsh'?

node1# remsh node2 bdf


or something like that, and also from node2
to node1?

Hi,

thanks all for your prompt help.

i got it to work.

maybe it was important and I forgot to tell you, but the HP servers have configured a NIS client.

and I got into the Name Service Switch settings and I changed some lines, but I think the one who made it work was to look for services in /etc/services first (by default it looked on NIS first)

thanks,
Cristi
