cmgetconf messages on /var/adm/syslog/syslog

[Tariq Hasan]

Hi everyone,

Everyday I get around 100 cmgetconf entries in my syslog at the same time.
I have checked my crontab and there is only a backup running at that time, but I can't see any relation between my backup script and the cmgetconf command.
The cmgetconf entry appears in both nodes from the cluster
(/usr/sbin/cmgetconf -p package_name)

Can Service Guard runs this command automatically for any reason?
Do I have a problem in my Service Guard configuration?.

Thanks in advance
Raquel

This sounds like a regular cron job running .
cmgetconf would normally only be run manually or as part of a script. At what time is this happening? is it always the same time? If so, what else runs at about the same time?
backup scripts etc?


Do you perhaps have an HAO node on your site?

Hi

can you tell me how do you do the backup on the system .

because found some docs that is talking aboutthe same problem , that there is message in the syslog of cmgetconf -p .

it talk about LEGATO backup in sg .

can you give more info

[Tariq Hasan]

Hi,

Yes, I'm using LEGATO to backup the servers.

OK, looks like you have what is described in document KBRC00007829

Seems you have to create a file called .nsr_cluster in the /etc/cmcluster directory with info about the cluster. This is actually a Legato issue.

Thanks for your help.
I will test it as soon as I run the backup tonight.
Melvyn can you let me know where I can find the document KBRC00007829?

Cheers

Hi

we cant give you the doc but i can give you the workaround to solve the problem.

SOLUTION : you need to define the file .nsr_cluster (in /etc/cmcluster) as if I were really adding
NetWorker to the cluster. This file contains the cluster information, such as
Package Name, IP and Mount Points, of everything defined to MC/Serviceguard.

Once I added the information to the file, the problem went away. (Initially, I
was told to simply touch the .nsr_cluster file).
