Hi,

I am new to HACMP 4.5 and I just setup the simpliest config. to feel
it. I create a two nodes cluster with one cascading resource group. I
also add 3 adapters to the clusters, 2 boot adapters in which one for
each node, and a service IP which does not allocate to any node. A
heartbeat network is also setup using a serial cable.

When startup the primary node, everything looks fine and the boot
adapter get the service IP as alias to it. Then, I start the second
node's cluster daemon. After a while, I find that the cluster daemon
seems does not treat the second node startup successfully. Then about
300 seconds, I saw the following message in hacmp.out:

Looks like there are some problem on the node_up event in the second
node. And so the node_up.rp is being run. Is it correct? If so, what's
the possible cause for this?

By the way, when I tried to use smitty to stop the clstermgr daemon,
it's always in "stopping" status. Is it due to the above "node_up.rp"
event and so the cluster daemon can't stop?

The problem is about to drive me crazy. If you have some idea, please
help me. Thanks a lot for the help in advance.

Regards,

Frankie
