problems with hpvmsg_package on IVM4 and hpux11.31

[ARETESOP]

Hi,

we have 2 blades (bl1copt,bl2copt) with hpux 11.31, MCSG A_11.18 and 2 ivm4 working well, we are migrating the ivm between 2 nodes ok, but when we use hpvmsg_package with 1 ivm, we have these error:

Would you like to convert the package to a Modular package? (y/n):y

Analysis of the hpvmstatus -m command on each node indicates that the HPVM multi-server environment is not configured correctly. Before hpvmsg_package can assist in creating the package configuration template files
the HPVM multi-server environment must be configured.

Would you like to configure Serviceguard nodes into the HPVM multi-server environment now? (y/n):y
hpvmdevmgmt: ERROR (host): getaddrinfo for
'reached' failed: host nor service provided, or not known.
hpvmdevmgmt: ERROR (host): The SERVERADDR attribute value: 'reached' for server:
'bl1copt' is either invalid or not registered. Please verify the value for cor
rectness. Hint: You may need to add an entry with this address to your /etc/hosts file.

ERROR : hpvmsg_package : The multi-server environment is not configured consiste
ntly on each node

The error complete is a txt, and other information.

Can you help us

Bonjour,

I have not yet experimented MCSG integration with HPVM 4.0. I did it with HPVM3.5 and I suppose it is not so far from HPVM 4.0

In an MCSG context, you are supposed to give a different system ID to each node in the cluster with the hpvmdevmgmt command.

Here is an example :

hpvmdevmgmt -a server:hostname:attr:SERVERADDR=ip-address,SERVERID=server-id


Obviously the script "hpvmsg_package" try to do that in HPVM 4.0 Under HPVM 3.5 you had to do that by hand. So try on each server to do it this way.

On both node :

hpvmdevmgmt -a server::attr:SERVERADDR=,SERVERID=

hpvmdevmgmt -a server::attr:SERVERADDR=,SERVERID=

Then try "hpvmsg_package" again.

Regards

Eric

I forgot : take a look at page 212 of "HP Integrity Virtual Machines Version 4.0
Installation, Configuration, and
Administration" http://docs.hp.com/en/T2767-90141/T2767-90141.pdf

"hpvmdevmgmt: ERROR (host): The attribute value: '1', for attribute: 'SERVERID',
is already in use by server: 'bl1copt', and must be unique. Failed to modify server 'bl2copt' attribute 'SERVERID' to value '1'. Invalid argument"

Just a precision : the SERVERID of each node must be unique and both node must be declared on each node. It seems that "hpvmsg_package" wants to give to bl2copt the same systemid than bl1copt. You should check on both server the situation with "hpvmdevmgmt -l server" then correct as said in my first post.

Thanks Eric,

I have used hpvmdevmgmt -m for to change the SERVERADDR and SERVERID. The hpvmsg_package ask me to choose a UUID for the MSE Group and continue to the end without problems.
