HA start/stop scripts do not work in Linux envrionment

[Xiaochun Tong]

We are migrating from v6.0 to v6.2 and moving from AIX to Linux. In the new environment, the /home/hci/.cluster/hci.start script won’t start the application. Here is part of the error message:

### Starting the hcihostserver ###

-bash: setroot: command not found

-bash: hciss: command not found

### HCI Start script complete ###

Here is part of the hci.start script:

echo “### Performing start actions for root $HACMP_HCI_ROOT ###”

echo

for site in $HACMP_HCI_SITE; do

   nohup $SCRIPTDIR/hci.enginerun $site &

   sleep 1

done

# Start the hostserver

echo

echo “### Starting the hcihostserver ###”

echo

su – hci -c “setroot;hciss -s h”

This looks like a very basic, user environment issue. Compare the hci user context between the AIX and LINUX servers.

First look at the definition in /etc/passwd – what is the default shell?

Second, issue the ‘set’ command on both servers and look at the differences – it is likely that some variables are not defined correctly.

Look at the .profile file in the hci home directory – is this file actually being run when hci logs on? Is the hci software folder in the PATH?

Changing the /etc/password file to use the shell /bin/ksh instead of /bin/bash did the trick. Thanks!
