The HACMP clstat command does not work

Clinfo daemon started?


The clstat command retrieves the information from the clinfo daemon. This daemon is not started automatically. It is an option in the SMIT HACMP startup menu (smitty clstart). If it is not running, stop HACMP on this node, and start it up again with clinfo activated.

To check the status of the HACMP processes: lssrc -a | grep -E "ES | svcs"

SNMP version in AIX 5L version 5.2


AIX 5L version 5.2 uses SNMP version 3 agents, whereas HACMP uses a SNMP version 1 configuration. Both clinfo and CSPOC require SNMP version 1. With the default SNMP agent, the clinfo daemon is not able to supply cluster information, thus the clinfo command will not work properly.

Run the script provided in Example 3-38 to switch to version 1 agents.

Example 3-38 Switch SNMP agents to version 1

#!/bin/kshLOG=/var/adm/chg_snmpd.logtouch $LOG/usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities/clstop -N -g >> $LOG 2>&1sleep 5for i in muxatmd aixmibd snmpmibd hostmibd snmpddostopsrc -s $i >> $LOG 2>&1sleep 2doneln -sf /usr/sbin/snmpdv1 /usr/sbin/snmpdfor i in snmpd hostmibd snmpmibd aixmibd muxatmddostartsrc -s $i >> $LOG 2>&1sleep 2donesleep 10/usr/es/sbin/cluster/etc/rc.cluster -N -i >> $LOG 2>&1sleep 5

You can also use the following command to change the running SNMP configuration back to version 1:

/usr/sbin/snmpv3_ssw -1

For security reasons do not use the default "public" SNMP community. You can change the community name in the /etc/snmpd.conf file, then stop cluster services (incl. clinfo) and specify this new name to clinfo: chssys -s clinfo(ES) -a "-c NEW_COMMUNITY_NAME" , then restart HACMP.

How to configure multipath Debian CentOS for IBM Storage

This detailed how to guides to achieve high availability and performance on Debian and CentOS for accessing storage space at IBM DS8300 Data Storage Systems. Tested on Debian GNU/Linux 5.x Lenny 64 bits and CentOS 5.3 64 bits running on 8 cores blades, with Host Bus Adapters Qlogic and Emulex Light Pulse Fiber Channel in deployed systems at SERPRO . Observations showed that Debian Lenny has the best performance, for our app load profile and hardware. Also, there are listed a number of previously not clearly documented critical pitfalls to avoid. STUDY whole articles, hints, implications, and cited resources before planning your deployment. Every detail matters . Before start, you must have LUNs at IBM DS8300 storage configured for high availability and performance as explained at the article How to configure maximum performance storage space for Debian GNU/Linux on IBM DS 8300 Data Storage Systems . Multipath and storage basic concepts In order t...

Six Linux softphone's list

VoIP has improved a lot since its first days, today a lot of multinational business are using it as a reliable way to keep stay in touch. With more and more telecommuters, and business man working, and with cell phone roaming costs still high, VoIP is a real option for both big and small corporations. And when you talk to a CFO about investing to save costs, you usually will see the checkered flag for your project. Most of these projects will involve IP phones or ATAs, but you may use softphones too, which are very convenient for the traveler guy, here we will review some of the soft phones available for Linux. Linphone Linphone is a mature piece of software, it uses SIP, for voice and video over IP, it can work as a stand alone application, and you can call other sip enabled devices just entering its ips on the dial window of Linphone, or you can configure it to use an Asterisk PBX. There are binary packages for the most common distros, so try to install it using you pa...

ESS Subsystem Device Driver setup

In a high availability environment, there is a special device driver, designed for ESS, named Subsystem Device Driver (SDD). This device driver allows for redundant links and load sharing for storage traffic when multiple fiber connections exist between nodes and the ESS storage subsystem. SDD comes as an AIX installable fileset, named ibm2105.rte. This has to be installed on all cluster nodes, even if not all nodes in the cluster have more than one FC adapter. In our configuration, since each node is connected to the ESS using two optical cables, each disk can be accessed via any of the two paths. When SDD is installed, a virtual path is created. This virtual path represents the same storage space, but is accessible via both fiber links. There are two versions of the SDD driver for AIX: ibmSdd_510.rte - This is suitable for non-HACMP configurations or for concurrent HACMP (HACMP/ESCRM). ibmSdd_510nchamp.rte - This has to be used in nonconcurrent HACMP environments. In our...
