Verifying node(s): node2 against the running node node1


WARNING: The following resource type have the same resource name.
Resource name: cluster
Resource Types: Service IP Label and Application
WARNING: Having cluster resources with the same name can lead to confusion and
difficulties with cluster planning and administration. Cluster services may
not function properly if resources do not have unique names.

WARNING: Application monitors are required for detecting application failures
in order for HACMP to recover from them.  Application monitors are started
by HACMP when the resource group in which they participate is activated.
The following application(s), shown with their associated resource group,
do not have an application monitor configured:

How to modify the heartbeat failure detection rate

This procedure should be done on an active HACMP node
1. Type smitty hacmp.
2. Go to Extended Configuration.
3. Select Extended Topology Configuration.
4. Select Configure HACMP Network Modules.
5. Select Change a Network Module using Predefined Values and press Enter. SMIT displays a list of defined network modules.
6. Select the name of the network module for which you want to see current settings and press Enter.
Type or select values in entry fields.
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.
                                                        [Entry Fields]
* Network Module Name                                 tmscsi
  Description                                         TMSCSI Serial protocol
  Failure Detection Rate                              Normal

  NOTE: Changes made to this panel must be
        propagated to the other nodes by
        Verifying and Synchronizing the cluster 
Change normal to slow if for instance you are experiencing network contention and the heartbeats are taking some time to complete.
Do not follow the above procedure on the other nodes in the cluster but instead synchronise the changes by completing the following procedure.
1. Type smitty hacmp.
2. Go to Extended Configuration.
3. Select Extended Verification and Synchronization.
4. Press Enter with the default settings.

Changing the location of HACMP log files

If you know the log file whose location you would like to change use the following command replacing 'clstrmgr.debug' as necessary.
/usr/es/sbin/cluster/utilities/cllog -c 'clstrmgr.debug' -v '/var/adm'
Use smitty if you are not sure of the current log file names and locations as follows.
smitty hacmp
