node refusing service guard communication

[whiz_kid]

i am trying to setup a 6 node cluster.

OS is hpux 11.31 (sep, 2007, MC-OE)

i hv a quorum server, all the 6 node entries are populated in qs_authfile.

host files are populated, and name resolution is happening fine across all the nodes.

i hv a + entry in .rhosts file for all nodes.

am getting the appended message when am runnng cmquerycl

cmquerycl -q qs_srvr n node1 -n node2 -n node3 -n node4 -n node5 -n node6

Warning: Unable to determine local domain name for node2
Node node1 is refusing Serviceguard communication.
Please make sure that the proper security access is configured on node
node1 through either file-based access (pre-A.11.16 version) or role-based
access (version A.11.16 or higher) and/or that the host name lookup
on node qrhqsd11 resolves the IP address correctly.
Failed to gather configuration information.

any help will be much appreciated. thanks

Shalom,

Your security mechanism may be the problem.

There is a concept in SG 11.16 called cmnodelist

This is what should be used to set up node security.

for HP-UX 11.31 you will have either Sg A.11.17.01 or A.11.18
Neither of these versions use the .rhosts file, you need to setup the /etc/cmcluster/cmclnodelist file to initially set up your cluster.
take a read of:
http://docs.hp.com/en/6283/SGsecurityfiles.pdf
and
