Nah - although another guy has suggested turning off the 2nd Archive Manager
process.  Problem is when I do that I get a permanent alarm saying it can't
connect!

 

Isn't H03 *before* SP1, or have I got my release dates muddled?

David,

Have you tried adding H03 to see if it stops?

Hope someone here can offer a bit of advice.

We have 2 brand spanking new v9.0sp1 Spectroservers set up in hot-standby.
There are currently no other landscapes connected (it's going to be the
Manager of Managers for a replacement DSS system) and there are no models on
the landscape being polled other than the VNM.  The boxes are essentially
sitting there idle whilst we do other network related stuff in preparation
for an across the board upgrade of our internal monitoring before rolling it
out to customers.

What I've noticed happening is that every so often, I get an event "Cleared
Contact Lost to secondary SpectroSERVER on host port at precedence from
primary SpectroSERVER on host port."  - with no actual port numbers in!
This is immediately followed by "The SpectroSERVER cannot connect to or has
lost contact with the Archive Manager" plus the corresponding Major Alarm.
Then 5 mins later the reconnection to Archive Manager event appears.

What's confusing me even more is that these alerts are always at set times -
52mins, 40 sec past the hour, 09mins,38sec  past the hour and 32mins 39 sec
past the hour. So effectively a 20 minute gap between each burst.

Is there some sort of process that runs every 20 mins that could  possibly
affect the SpectroSERVER's interactions with each other?  As a test tomorrow
I'm going to restart both boxes and both SpectroSERVERS at a set time to see
if I can work out what's doing it - but if anyone else has seen this your
insights would be appreciated.  I noticed a similar issue on our 8.1SS boxes
but just assumed it was because they're getting on a bit and running out of
resources. These 2 new boxes are running nothing but Windows 2003 with all
latest patches, AV and Spectrum.

Yours confusedly.


Dave
