Cluster Monitor

[Haggisnneeps2]

if i run "verify system" on the clusters that dont work, the output contains this message:

Running SNMP base Cluster identification using common cluster MIB.
This was not a system with the common cluster MIBs supported.

If i run this on the working cluster, this reads:
Running SNMP base Cluster identification using common cluster MIB.
This system has the common cluster MIBs and was identified as a cluster.

I inquired as to the status of the case I opened with HP on this issue. I was told:

"...the fix for this issue will be included in SIM 5.2.2.0 which should be out mid-August."

I'm having the same issue. I've got SIM v5.2 SP2 installed. I see that HP claims an August release would fix the issue. That obviously did not occur. Anyone with news?

Hi Steve
Have you done each of the following steps on the cluster nodes:

1. ENABLE CLUSTER MONITORING IN MANAGEMENT AGENTS

Go to >Start>Control Panel>HP Management Agents

Move Clustering Information into the Active Agents section

2. UPDATE PATHNAME TO CLUSTERAGENT IN REGISTRY

Go to >Start>regedit>HKLM\SOFTWARE\Compaq\CompaqCommonClusterAgent

Modify PATHNAME key to equal "%SystemRoot%\System32\svrclu.dll"

3. Restart the server

4. Remove/Re-discovery/Re-identity cluster nodes and also the cluster VIP.


This worked for me on Windows 2003 X64 R2 SP2 cluster nodes.

I have (several times) removed and re-added the Cluster agent from the control panel/HP management agents configuration in an attempt to resolve problems.

In my case, there is no CompaqCommonClusterAgent branch at all. If there is supposed to be one, what is the exact branch and keyname for the path?

i stopped my messages by doing the following

1 delete all hodes and cluster info from sim (5.2)

2 add or remove and then add the cluster agents from the nodes in the cluster

3 manualy restart snmp

4 discover the nodes

5 discover the cluster names, and any sql instance you may have

on a couple of clusters i had to do it twice, but i now have all my clusters reporting ok.

Frankw - you will need to create it.

Create the keyname: "CompaqCommonClusterAgent" @ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Compaq\

Create a "Pathname" STRING (REG_SZ) registry key under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Compaq\CompaqCommonClusterAgent] with the value:

"%SystemRoot%\\System32\\svrclu.dll"

Just for the record, I also encountered the same issue. Orginal discovery went fine, after some time it broke. Setup is a HP SIM 5.2.

The solution provided by Karim worked perfect. I made a post about it:
