Thanks! Dave From: John O'Mahony [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 03 April 2009 10:17 To: spectrum Subject: RE: [spectrum] v9.1 fault tolerant SS issue. David are you running Archive Manager on both boxes? If so why? In a FT SS pair the Archive Manager should only run on one of the servers, and I believe it should be on the primary.

Na����� 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? Patrick ________________________________ From: David Game [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 9:21 AM To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] v9.1 fault tolerant SS issue. Hope someone here can offer a bit of advi����� We have 2 brand spanking new v9.0sp1 Spectroservers set up in hot-standby. There are currently no other landscapes connected (i����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�����ve noticed happening is that every so often, I get an even�����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 Manag����� 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 SpectroSERVE����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 wha����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 th�����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.
