Unable to receive device query message from <servername>

[kevyn]

I have taken the cmcluster directory from on server that is running
B3935DA A.11.16.00 Serviceguard
to a newly built server running:



B3935DA A.11.15.00 MC / ServiceGuard
PHSS_30370 1.0 MC/ServiceGuard A.11.15.00



I have changed the node names to include new_ at the beginning of each new node:

I have got lan0 lan1 lan2 lan 3 configured to be used and cabled up on the server:



:/etc/cmcluster/app1#lanscan

However when I run a cmcheckconf or cmapplyconf I get the following error:

replaces the actual server name
replaces the actual volume group
I have 3 servers
and 2 volume groups

However nslookup appears to be fine:

We have managed to track down the problem.

the live has version 11.16 of ServiceGuard and has the following entries in the /etc/inetd.conf:
Required due to identd

hacl-probe stream tcp nowait root /opt/cmom/lbin/cmomd /opt/cmom/lbin/cmomd -i -f /var/opt/cmom/cmomd.log -r /var/opt/cmom
hacl-cfg dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/cmclconfd cmclconfd -p
hacl-cfg stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/cmclconfd cmclconfd -c -i

However the new nodes have 11.15.

upon removing the -i from inetd.conf and then restarting inetd.
I was able to form the cluster

hacl-probe stream tcp nowait root /opt/cmom/lbin/cmomd /opt/cmom/lbin/cmomd -f /var/opt/cmom/cmomd.log -r /var/opt/cmom
hacl-cfg dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/cmclconfd cmclconfd -p
hacl-cfg stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/cmclconfd cmclconfd -c
