Hi,

Running on Windows 2003 Advanced server I tried to configure
clustering with DB2 ESE (FP10) with the DB2MSCS utility. Defining the
cluster resources seems to be succesfull but the DB2 resource can't
be brought online.
The following message is displayed:
DB21516E DB2MSCS cannot bring resource "0" online. Ensure that the
properties of the resource are set correctly.

After that I configured the resources manual. Everything seems to be
fine but bringing the DB2 resource online just doesn't work and no
error message is displayed in the DB2DIAG log (with DIAGLEVEL 4).

I can start DB2 from the commandline or the services panel without a
problem, it's just the DB2 resource in the cluster definition that
fails.
The Cluster Administration Utility doesn't contain messages and the
event log only tells me that the resource could not be brought
online.

Does anybody know how to troubleshoot this?

TIA and kind regards, Gert

There is some dependancy of DB2 service to other resouce(HD, Network),
did you check they are online or not?
Or when you define the DB2 service, you give it the user name &
password, is it the right one?

Yes, all resources were online. The right user is also defined. The
strange thing is that the db2diag.log doesn't ahow any message, the
clustering software doesn't seem to try to start the instance.

We found some additional information in the file
c:\Windows\Cluster\cluster.log

It shows that 'error 1060' is returned when bringing the DB2 resource
online. The windows 1060 error means that "The specified service does
not exist as an installed service.".

It looks like the DB2 resource is trying to start the wrong service
which means it's a DB2 bug.

Did anybody configure MSCS with DB2 ESE FP10 without a problem?

kind regards, Gert

Try to create another instance, bring it into MSCS.

Why? What dou you expect to see? What could be the cause of the problem?

If the new instance could be started in MSCS, then the problem is your
existing DB2 instance.
If not, I suggest you do a reinstall.

As I said in my first post, I can start the instance without a
problem using db2start, net start and the service management window
so I doubt anything is wrong with the instance. Only the Cluster tool
can't start the instance.
I allready installed DB2 again but the problem still remains.
