Cluster nodes Problems

[Stefano_Colombo]

We have installed Insight MGR7 Sp2 and we have a few problems.

We have 2 Win2K Clusters named GDBO01CLST1 and GDBO01CLST2.
CLST1's nodes are GDBO01CLN1 and GDBO01CLN2
CLST2's nodes are GDBO01CLN3 and GDBO01CLN4

- The first problem is that only nodes CLN1 and CLN3 have been added to the devices list, cln2 and cln4 have been not even if they are configured exactly the same.
- The second problem is the clusters are not correctly identified. In fact a "cluster" gdbo01cln3 is being reported while it should have been gdbo01clst2

Here after a message from the devices status panel which is incorrect because states that gdbo01cln4 is a member of cluster gdbo01cln3

DISK CMX: at 11-Apr-2003, 15:50:56 CEST device status on node gdbo01cln4 of cluster gdbo01cln3 became critical

Have you enabled the clustering-information agent?

[Stefano_Colombo]

Where should I have enabled them ?

[Jos Minnema]

On the cluster-server. Control Panel --> Compaq Management Agents. There you've got the different agents.

[Darrin Rawls]

Have you possibly ghosted (imaged) your cluster OS's? The agents utilize a unique GUID that if replicated will cause some 'weird' behavior similar to this (different nodes assigned to the wrong virtual cluster).

Another thing to check is how you discovered the devices. If you used Auto-Discovery, did you discover all the node IPs AND the virtual IPs? If you manually added the devices, again, make sure you have added all the nodes and the virtual nodes.

If manually adding devices, be sure and run the Daily Identification Task to make sure they get identified correctly.
