MC/Service Guard hangs up - HELP

[Ionut Grigorescu_2]

Hi,

I have an HPUX 11.00 server with MC/SG. I have performed a
#cmhaltcl -fv
I have 3 packages: comm (communication package, omcdb - O&M package and db - database package)
After halting omcdb the system hangs up in trying to halt comm package. I cannot interrupt the process - what can I do?

[Joaquin Gil de Vergara]

look at the /etc/cmcluster/comm/comm.cntl.log (I suppose that you name thus) file in the server that owns comm package...

what says?

[Ionut Grigorescu_2]

...it says

..HALTING PACKAGE COMPLETED but with cmviewcl I can see
STATUS - halting
STATE - halting
??

Hi,
Also see /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
Is it due to NFS server not responding ?

[Ionut Grigorescu_2]

I tried to telnet to a workstation with NIS to this server and I have this message NFS server not responding still trying, but in syslog on the server I have only

Setting STREAMS-HEAD high water value to 65356.
nfsd do_one mpctl succeeded: ncpus = 1.
nfsd do_one pmap2

Whats happend if I try now to halt the db package (this supervises the ORACLE processes)? and then reboot the server?

[Animesh Chakraborty]

If u try to halt the db pkg now it will also look for nfs server.
Give us some picture how is your setup? like how many nodes and which nodes runs which pkg?
after pkg halt, nfs server not responding is quite "normal".
A reboot will definately solve your problem.

Hi,
You can again add the pkg IP using cmmodnet command.
look details syntex of cmmodnet command.

[Animesh Chakraborty]

the syntex is
#cmmodnet -a -i 15.44.49.77 15.44.48.0
IP =15.44.49.77
subnet: 15.44.48.0

[Ionut Grigorescu_2]

Hi,

cmmodnet should be used only on a halted packege (it says in the man page..)
I have a node which is comm server on which runs comm package and another node which is the database server on which run db and omcdb package. I decide to trust the log file who told me that comm pkg is halted and I have halted also db package with cmhaltpkg then I have performed a reboot on both servers - now I'm waiting...

[Ionut Grigorescu_2]

Hi,

#shutdown -r -y 0 doesn't work!!
It halts at
Stop High Availability Cluster ....

I have tried also cmhaltnode ... nothing!

What can I do more?

[Joaquin Gil de Vergara]

is the other node running?

if it has stopped cluster services the other node can wait for it to form cluster

[Ionut Grigorescu_2]

With cmviewcl I can see that PKG_SWITCH is disabled for all packages. Both nodes are up and running despite my cmhaltnode command. I performed also this shutdown with no success...:-(

[Avadhoot]

first enable the package using cmmodpkg -e packagename -n nodename after this try to halt the package

Hi,

case closed. I have killed MC/SG's processes and then I have succsesfuly rebooted. Not so elegant but practical...
