Cannot read the cluster configuration file

[Manuales]

Hi ... could you help me to resolve the following error ?


server1:/->cmviewcl
cmviewcl : Cannot read the cluster configuration file. Either it does not exist, or it is corrupted, or it is empty.


what is the cluster configuration file?
why could be corrupted?

Thank

Do you have a ServiceGuard cluster running ?

The cluster configuration file is pretty much what its name says. It contains the information about your ServiceGuard cluster and is present on all nodes. (Can you run the command on another node ?)

If you have a cluster setup, I would expect at least one ascii-version of the configuration to be around in /etc/cmcluster on one of the nodes.

If you have a running cluster, you should be able to retrieve an ascii version of the cluster configuration with the command 'cmgetconf -C clconfig.ascii'

If you don't have a high availability setup with several machines taking over for each other, I'd just wonder how the software ends up on your machine :-)

You can use the cmapplyconf command to create and distribute the binary configuration file. For example:
cmapplyconf -k -v -C /etc/cmcluster/mycluster.config

mycluster.config would be your text-based config file, found in /etc/cmcluster or retrieved from your running cluster with
'cmgetconf -C mycluster.config'.

If you can't get your config back like this, it might be time to go find it on a backup or in your documentation. Your HP support team could also be of help, have you checked with them as well ?

Good luck !
Cheers,
