Failed to build the cluster on serviceguard 11.20

[Michelle_61]

I am trying to create a serviceguard cluster but failed. My cluster nodes are upgraded to HPUX B.11.31 U ia64. And the serviceguard version is 11.20. I was first trying to use the traditional commands but it timed out and returned errors:
# cmquerycl -v -C /etc/cmcluster/cluster.conf -n node1 -n node2
Unable to receive reply from local cmclconfd. Connection timed out
Unable to initialize HOSTNAME_ADDRESS_FAMILY.

Then I tried the easy deployment commands but it also failed:
bash-2.05a# cmpreparecl -n node1 -n node2
Running cmpreparecl on nodes node1 node2
Saving command output to /var/adm/cmcluster/sgeasy/easy_deployment.log
Running cmpreparecl on nodes node1 node2
Adding entries to node1:/etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist so cmpreparecl works
Connecting to node1 via SSH as root.
Adding entries to node2:/etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist so cmpreparecl works
Serviceguard is not installed on node1.

The serviceguard software is installed on both nodes:
bash-2.05a# swlist | grep -i serviceguard
B5140BA A.11.31.04 Serviceguard NFS Toolkit
T1905CA A.11.20.00.01 Serviceguard

Your help will be very appreciated!

Can this thread be moved to the Serviceguard category?

could you please check both the nodes have the same version of SG installed?

[Michelle_61]

The versions of SG on both nodes are 11.20.

Actually I have already resolved this problem. I had to restart the inetd process on both nodes. Not sure why is that. The cluster nodes just got upgraded to 11.31.

that's because some services were added to inetd.conf, and it requires an "inetd -c" to read the new config.

this one is for disabling SG, however it lists the inetd services:

might be a bit outdated, so maybe there are additional services with SG 11.20

I did run "inetd -c". However it did not work. I had to kill the inetd process and then restart it.
