Reply To: Unable to open up Gui/network monitor after failover

[Peter Heggie]

thank you both.

Richard, we do not have a user_xx entry in the client.ini file. I don’t know how that works. We each start the client gui with our own AD / network userid; when on the AIX server, we all login with hci.

I believe the problem was that the monitor daemon would not start; we could connect to any site we wanted to but there was no status of processes or threads available.

Russ – I understand what you mean about the physical and service addresses of the cluster; all of our configuration uses the service address, but perhaps more configuration is needed to ensure the outbound traffic uses it also.

I just don’t know why the monitor daemon kept failing with a sig11. We have successfully failed over several times in the last three years with the same configuration noted above, except that now we have the new master site on Test.

Also, I forgot to add a second difference – on our test server, we added a new site recently, but did not locate it in the SAN file system, with a link from /integrator; instead we installed it directly in /integrator. I know a lot of the HACMP scripts in .cluster iterate through the sites and maybe having a site directory there was a wrench in the works?
