Hello sgd-users,
SHORT PROBLEM:
We have a demo setup of SSGD (4.31.905, Solaris 10 SPARC) at work
for over a year now without regular usage, and recently I was asked
by our testers who wanted to evaluate it - why the web logins behave
strangely.
Research showed that while we have two servers, their array breaks.
The secondary just becomes a stand-alone primary while the primary
thinks it has a non-responsive secondary for a while, then also
becomes a stand-alone primary. This happens occasionally (and it's
just a matter of time, within 10s of minutes usually).
When the secondary server loses its array status, it also believes
it is not licensed and aborts connection attempts (which it does still
receives due to a dual-IP DNS name as of original setup).
Is this a known issue with SSGD 4.3x (as was implied in this list's
archives), or did we misconfigure something with the server(s)?
MORE DETAIL:
The servers are on the same network, no firewalls in-between.
HTTP and HTTPS are allowed; internal CA certificates are used since
a few days back, self-signed certs were used since installation.
The servers are licensed with a permanent 20-user license from
the Sun seminar, as was permitted for pre-sale demo purposes.
I ran "license add" on on each of them, but only the real primary
remembers it for long (since the original set-up):
# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella license add XXX
Here's the correct picture I can see after an "array join":
# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella array list; /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella
status; /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella license status
Array members (2):
- infra1.XXX.ru (primary): Accepting standard and secure connections.
- infra2.XXX.ru (secondary): Accepting standard and secure connections.
Array members (2):
- infra1.XXX.ru (primary): Accepting standard and secure connections.
- infra2.XXX.ru (secondary): Accepting standard and secure connections.
- Webtop sessions (1):

- Emulator sessions (0):

When the secondary server loses its array status, it reports this
license status:
# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella array list; /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella
status; /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella license status
Array members (1):
- infra2.XXX.ru (primary): Accepting standard and secure connections.

Re-adding it to the array in GUI (Array Manager) or command-line
works, but only for some random time (at most, till reboot of the
servers - then the array is lost again).
I tried to upgrade to 4.40.917 but the array got broken bad, lost
most of its user settings, and I rolled back. Possibly out-of-disk
condition though; willl clean up and retry later.
