Hi Mike,
Could you do the following test to ensure the engine is consistently writing the config files? Prerequisite: all cluster nodes are running 1) /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/haconf -makerw 2) On all nodes: Move all files from the "/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config" directory to a backup location 3) /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/haconf -dump 4) Check if the types.cf file is the same on all nodes 5) /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/haconf -dump -makero Regards Manuel ________________________________ From: Auleta, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Freitag, 8.

It was too big for the mailing list posting in it's original size but it's kind of hard to tell. The order of the types is different between the two so they don't match up well in a diff, but from what I can tell, the differences are mostly additional spaces and some defaults specified for some of the variables.

Did you manually edit the "good" types.cf to make changes? If you edited the types.cf, you could have added extra spaces or put in a setting that is already a default and these would get stripped out on a save. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Auleta, Michael Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 3:12 PM To: Manuel Braun; veritas-ha@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-ha] Correcting the types.cf file The simulator exibits the same behavior. Start the cluster Check the types.cf (-rw------- 1 root root 6348 Aug 7 14:55 types.cf) (correct) Run hacf -makerw Run hacf -dump -makero Check the types.cf (-rw------- 2 root root 6171 Aug 7 14:56 types.cf) (incorrect) I'm not sure it's actually reading the types.cf file I want to use. I can't find any other instances other than /etc/VRTSvcs/conf & /opt/VRTScssim, and they're the correct size. What I actually think is happening is that the types.cf setting is being ignored in main.cf, but I don't know where the one that's being used is coming from. ________________________________ From: Manuel Braun [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 2:53 PM To: Auleta, Michael; veritas-ha@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: RE: [Veritas-ha] Correcting the types.cf file Hi Mike, How about this: 1) "hastop -local -force" on the "strange" node 2) Move all files from the "/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config" to a backup location 3) "hastart" on the "strange" node Regards Manuel ________________________________ From: Auleta, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Donnerstag, 7.

A non-existing or modified types.cf is overwritten in the REMOTE_BUILD phase on the joining node. Could you please try removing the types.cf before doing the hastart.
