Just a note to say thanks to all you guys for your help – stopping the 2nd 
Archive Manager seemed to do the trick. 


Regards


Dave

I was thinking that too – and it was moaning like hell at me when I shut down 
the 2nd Archive Manager!

 

I’ve turned it off on server 2 and I’ll see what happens over the next hour or 
so.


Thanks!

Dave

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.

 

Regards, John

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
