Node1 - p630-6C4, AIX 5.2 ml03 & hacmp 5.1(patched to 5.1.0.5). This
node currently running in a 1 node cluster, however, node 2 has been
configured in the HA configuration. clcomd is currently active.

Node2 - p660-6H1, AIX 5.2 ml03 & hacmp 5.1(patched to 5.1.0.5). This
node is currently not part of the cluster.

Both nodes are connected to shared scsi disk, heartbeat over serial
connection, two 10/100 ethernet adapters.

I've performed the following on node1 & 2,
stty < /dev/tty1
Results were as expected. That command execution on Node1 waited
until it was entered on Node2. I successfully ping'd standby adapters
and boot/service adapters. /usr/es/sbin/cluster/etc/clhosts &
/usr/es/sbin/cluster/etc/rhosts files are the same on both nodes.
/etc/hosts on both nodes are similar.
Note, on Node1, HA is up and running with the resources. The problem
I'm having is synchronization, here's the error:

WARNING: Unable to communicate with the remote node: Node2.
Please check that node: Node2 has the
/usr/es/sbin/cluster/etc/rhosts
file configured and the clcomdES subsystem running.

It then gives libodm: Teh specified object class does not exist. Check
path name and permissions.

Then gives a warning that the standby adapter is not properly
configured. Then an error that /dev/tty1 does not exist on node2.
Then gives an error this time on the stby adapter on Node 2.

clcomd is running on Node2 and the rhosts file is exactly the same on
Node1 as it is on Node2. Anyone have any ideas? Since I'm adding a
node to the cluster, do I need to shutdown HA on Node1 and then
perform the synchronization?

TIA,
Pete's

You say that clcomd is running on node2...have you verified this via
lssrc ?
There is a known AIX problem that sometimes causes clcomd NOT to start
automatically. If this happens, you'll see this kind of error. The
other errors may be side effects of this problem...I wouldnt' worry
about trying to solve them until you solve this initial problem. Also,
did you reboot node2 after installing HACMP? If not, then do so
before trying to start cluster services.

Snipped some text.

I verified it once more, it is showing as active. After installing
HA, OS maintenance levels and patches, the server was rebooted.

Can you post your cluster configuration?
You've added the node2 and its ethernet adapters to your configuration, right?

I take it that 'node1' is your svc label?
Try using a subnet for this different than the boot adapters are
using...this should cause the network to be created as 'aliased'.
There was work done in HACMP 5.1 to make alias'd networks the default,
these use a different subnet for the svc label. There were some
special things one had to do in configuration (I can't remember
exactly what they were...) to configure a traditional network. Anyway,
but the svc label on a different subnet and try to sync/verify...the
other thing you can do is look at your network definition...smitty
hacmp ->> down to change/show network and see if the network is marked
as aliased. IF it is, then this svc label on the same subnet as the
boot is definitely a problem....

Thanks for the help, this has been ressolved. Bone-headed move on my
part. Problem, in /usr/es/sbin/cluster/etc/rhosts, for whatever
reason I had ip address and host name, removed the hostnames,
dynamically sync'd and viola. In fact, it makes clrsh fail.
