Operating Systems AIX Clstat not working in a HACMP 7.1.3 cluster Post 302927480 by bakunin on Wednesday 3rd of December 2014 10:27:09 AM
Old 12-03-2014
Finally i found a "solution" to my problem: install a even newer version. As it seems the version i used was somewhat differently abled, as i believe the politically correct euphemism for "buggy" is. (A big THANK YOU goes to IBM for letting me do the beta-testing of software i thought to have purchased. I only bought a cluster-software but got a built-in adventure game at no cost.)

Here is what i did: first, install the latest AIX release (AIX 7.1, TL3 SP3):

Code:

This i did on both nodes. I am not sure if this was necessary, but together with the other changes (see below) it did the job. Next was to update the cluster software itself:

  cluster.man.en_US.es.data  7.1.3.2  COMMITTED  Man Pages - U.S. English

After this (and of course a reboot) i did a final cluster verification, then started the cluster without any problems. SNMP (and, as far as i can see, everything else) was working as expected. All in all it took me about 25 minutes per node, most of it can be done in parallel if the cluster can be stopped. Plan about 30-60 minutes for the whole update if you have the resources ready from the NIM server and everything else working.

I hope this helps.
