Cluster Questions

[Graeme Bray]

I have two questions. Please refer to the image for greater understanding.

1) In the image, the cluster status shows as failed, however both nodes are up. When I click on the Cluster HS column, it gives me no message stating why it is down. I have seen where it was unable to read information from each node. SNMP is running and set up properly on both nodes. (I am not able to restart as I am not the administrator for the Clusters. If this is a troubleshooting step, I will ask one of the ClusterAdmins to do that).

2) In the image, it shows the Virtual Name (Cluster type) as having a SW column as ?. This should not be. We have two of our lab clusters showing with just the HS column and the Event column. How can I get rid of this for the other 10 clusters we have?

Do you have the cluster agent enabled in the "HP Management Agents" control panel applet on both nodes (see attached)? By default, clusters are disabled.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. Both nodes have the Clustering agent turned on. If it was off, it would not show the virtual name.

Could be a DNS issue. Is your cluster virtual name in your DNS?

Yes, I can ping the virtual name and it resolves.
